you don't think that the oppressed using the racial terms that the oppressors use against them just feeds the oppressors? How does it help? It may only desensitize those that should NOT be cool with saying such hateful shit.

I gotta say I kind of agree with (or see the logic in) your first lost, but I'm not sure it's fair to say that black people onlynuse the word because they were tricked into it. To say that it to almost completely strip them of power and choice.
I'm not saying you're wrong ... I'm just not sure you're 100% on point.
Though I respect your frustration and your anger.
Heaving someone just across the fence from me "joke" (in a very serious and bloodcurdlingly four way) about putting someone into a motherfucking wood chipper because of the color of their skin makes me want to curb stomp skulls. When I heard that my heart felt like it was going to pop out of my chest. The "old me" would have knocked on the door and said something, but the old me got into and lost one too many fist fights.
I can't stand hearing that shit. It makes me sick to my stomach. Obviously SOMETHING is wrong with EVERYTHING if people think they can talk that way and just get away with it.
