while the use of a particular racial slur is horrible, is it made more horrible because of the color of the users skin? does one need the overall permission of a particular race of people to be able to use such a word? is it allowable for one race of people to use it freely and liberally, especially in front of another race of people that are socially forbidden from using such word? if you object to one person or race of people the ability to use a word from the english language, than you need to object to ALL uses of that word from ALL people regardless of race or background. that is what equality is about. I will also note how we cannot even use this word here, even though no one really knows what race we belong to, just assume we are of the wrong race...
