[quote=Searz]I'm an honorary black person myself, and I see nothing wrong with using the word. [youtube=eX8tL3PMj7o] (at least I would be if I was American :( )[/quote]

[quote=Mowen]Ok so this went too far to just delete everything... so just to clarify: No racial slurs are allowed on the forums!

The word nigger has so many negative connotations attached, it would be sheer stupidity to assume that using the word in such a manner would be "normal" use. [/quote]So does the word "little". I know several people who were teased for being small, so now that word should be banned as well. And the word "stupid" even has more negative connotations attached then both of those together, so now "stupid" should be banned. "Normal" is also pretty bad, it's actually the most racist word in the entire world since it is used to define the boundaries of who is discriminated against or not. Just to comment on the word nigger you used 3 discriminatory words in one single sentence. [quote=Mowen]No racial slurs are allowed on the forums! It doesn't matter if you're not offended someone just browsing it might see it and think this is the kind've place that tolerates racism, or they might be offended by it themselves.[/quote]On the other hand, people might get offended that such words are banned because to ban them you are acknowledging that such words are inherently offensive when they aren't which is considered racism. But hey, if you're going to start banning words that can be used offensively then I can get you a pretty big list. Punish people for being offensive, not for saying words that may or may not be used offensively.[/quote]
