The newest slur.

20 years ago was 2006. Are you sure you aren't thinking of 60 years ago?
JD, in our tribal environment here I give you credit to speaking to this.

I think of seeing a documentary of 1965 Mississippi and how freely people used the n*word there (although use of the word was hardly exclusive to that state).

But to your point, in 2006? Outside of black people saying it, and young people (hip hop is ubiquitous in our culture now and a lot of younger people say the word when listening to songs as well as saying it because they think it's cool), it would probably get national attention if millions of people were using the word as a slur.

I truthfully haven't heard the slur much at all as long as I've been alive. Well, outside of some rap songs. Of course, I live in the Northern state of Michigan, where I don't think it's been that prevalent. Even Volsrock doesn't use it, even though he acts as if he'd jump at the opportunity to say it.

Great point on Volstruck. We can find instances of its use in the last 20 years, but those tend to be isolated events. It's just not an acceptable word in our discourse.

(I know it's TV, but I remember seeing a clip from All In The Family when Archie was at the Jefferson's and someone said the N*word and even Archie was surprised saying "i haven't used that word in years". This was like 1972)
 
Most Trumppers wouldn’t use the word “nigger” any more, at least not in mixed company. Not in public.

The new word against a minority is “Tranny”. In 10 years they will claim they would never have used the word, but they will use it today.

They are the same people who shouted “nigger” 15 years ago.
Hmm, bit of a stretch there Jarod. Ever since the 1970's, the burgeoning gay rights movement has been trying to compare itself to black civil rights, or any racial minority efforts for equality.

As a young man on campus, I got into many heated arguments when I stated these two irrefutable facts; being Homosexual and all it's permutations is not the same as a "race" of people. And if by some quirk of nature the majority of "gay" people were non-white, none of this would even be a question because the minorities would first gave to win civil rights before the "sub group" even became a question.

So no, calling someone a tranny is not the same on any level as ALL the colorful.slurs used for black folk in yhe last 3 centuries or so.

That's a KKK word, AKA a Democrat word.

No one would be bothering transvestites if they left children alone, stayed out of girls' bathrooms, and stopped trying to bully women in their own sports.

I will never feel ashamed of standing up for tens of millions of girls and women at the expense of 'whatever percent of trans people are retarded'.

And TBH, we both know that I'd be against any group of men going into girls' bathrooms, not just "trans men" or whatever you call them.

You're trying to minimize the adversity that homosexuals faced by acting as if their situation was somehow better than that of blacks.

FYI the death penalty for homosexuality was still on the books when the colonies were formed, and being outed as a homosexual up until a few decades ago was extremely dangerous.

There were black men in the US who owned slaves, taichi. They weren't all slaves.

If we're being honest, the gays fought a long, hard battle to have any rights at all, and now there are other fringe movements trying to tag onto the gay rights movement, and it's not fair to them. There are a lot of gay people who don't think that trans-men should be reading books to other people's 6-yr-olds, or competing in women's sports.

I sense that you're in about grade ten. Am I very far off?

Um it's a Dixiecrat word. I'd read history before calling someone ignorant.
There were no "Dixiecrats" until the late 1940s, dummy.

The word is much older than that, and it is 100% correct to say that "nigger" was entirely a Demonrat word, and it was a way of life for them to use it.

So prove it. Oh and Lincoln was racist.

You and Jarod are doing the same thing, just from opposite sides.

The n*word is an odious word that predates either political party. There is no ownership or exclusivity to the word and its use.

It’s like the word and its history are almost secondary, it’s how can I use it to score political points today.
 
I wouldn't intentionally demean transsexuals with offensive language,
but I can't imagine the condition being anything other than a serious birth defect.

Wanting to normalize something doesn't make it so.

This is why I reject the comparison to "nigger."
At least you made a decent argument, but birth defect or not, why do you need to judge others.

This is true.

    The Dixiecrats (formally the States' Rights Democratic Party) were founded on July 17, 1948
Done.
Oh and Lincoln was racist.
Lincoln freed the slaves.

To put that into historical perspective, in the whole 5,000 or so years of known history of the planet, only a handful of governments had ever done that before, and in some instances it was very short-lived.

Think of all the countries and kingdoms and empires of the previous 5,000 years, on all the various continents... Lincoln towers over all of their leaders, in terms of decency.
Oh and Lincoln was racist.
Lincoln died in 1865, back when it was normal, so he quite progressive-minded for his time. And by progressive I don't mean that he was like the small-minded cultist douchebags with blue hair who recently latched onto that word.

By contrast, Dem-Prez LBJ was president 100 years after Lincoln died, and he was an n-word enthusiast.
