But why do blacks have a different standard of behavior?
ladyjane: “But why do blacks have a different standard of behavior?”
I don’t know. Maybe it’s because they can. To tell the truth, white liberals seem to get more outraged by the n-word than many blacks.
There are all sorts of words that could be bad or good depending on context. I could call my wife the “old lady” as a term of endearment. I could also use it in a way that’s meant as a complaint or to demean her.
