Nope. The word is used in a derogatory form and refers to any white man, whether he has a whip or not. I'm convinced you must be smoking the good stuff. Your hallucinations are getting more severe.
Which is your favorite excuse for Trump's racist tweets about the Squad?

You need to learn the history of the word.

Inversion fallacy.
Eytomology is a hobby of mine. I already know the history of the word.
Apparently not, you didn’t understand my post.
Inversion fallacy, lol, I didn’t realize this was a formal debate, and I disagree.

Argument of the stone fallacy. False attribution fallacy.
It doesn't. It's just more nonsense from racists who want to pretend that they're not. Anyone who has read any books written in the 1800s or through mid-20th century about the South has seen the word used. Sometimes they say "nigra(s)", the more educated used "Negro(s)", sometimes "darkies," but most often "nigger(s)." It began as shorthand for African slaves, then post-Civil War it became a pejorative. It's part of a lexicon of ugly words to describe those who were other -- spics, greasers, wops, coons, wetbacks, chinks, kikes, dagos, pollacks, krauts, slants, micks, redskins, injuns, gooks, spooks, squaws, honky, crackers, ragheads, towel heads, nips, etc. Racists and xenophobics use the term to make sure that we understand that those ppl are not like us... and inferior to boot.
From Wikipedia: "Nigger / nigra / nigga / niggah / nigguh
(U.S., UK) An offensive term for a black person. From the word negro, which means the color black in numerous languages. Diminutive appellations include Nigg and Nigz. Over time, the terms nigga and niggaz (plural) have come to be frequently used between some African-Americans without the negative associations of nigger."
I think the same thing about your posts.
Sorry, I’m not impressed.
Actually I studied both Latin and Spanish and I know what the Spanish word for black is. I'm saying that using the N-word as a racist slur dates to the 18th century.
I'm curious about why people living on a continent that's 80% black would call someone the N-word. Our country is something like 75% white yet we don't refer to each other as "whitey."
Then why didn't you acknowledge that it wasn't used as a slur until the 18th century? You're focusing on the root of the word and not the context in which it became offensive.
I wonder which fallacy you will get
IKR. Why people have to justify the use of the word with semantic arguments is beyond me.

We'll see. He's a master at claiming fallacy for posts he disagrees with.
We actually, "honkey" etymology is from the Aramaic hogla from the dead sea scrolls, as transcribed by Herodotus in 400 BC. Leaves you sorta breathless, don't it?
Cognitive bias is his affliction.We'll see. He's a master at claiming fallacy for posts he disagrees with.

It's like a Tony award. Faint praise. I'll be disappointed if I am left out of the post hoc category this year.
Because 1) they are racist, and 2) they stupidly equate offensive names for ppl who ain't like them as "free speech."
