        What an ignorant thing to say. I don’t agree with their position on the supernatural, but my generalization ends at their truth claims.

        There are many good Christians, good Muslims, good pagans, good satanists, etc. And many bad among them too. Because good and evil is a different axis than theism and atheism. Nice though it would be if everything were so neatly orthogonal.

          Prove them wrong. Most who loudly proclaim themselves christians, if not all, are more comfortable claiming “Jesus is King” rather than living as He wants them to. They point their fingers at others, spout hatred, and kill in the name of their Lord, rather than help solve poverty, healing the sick, and breaking bread with their neighbours. The billionaire “christians” even try all they can to impose their rigid worldview upon the world, and are (or are indistinguishable from) fascists. The mere existence of them is an affront to the teachings of Jesus Christ; He would throw them out of their temple in disgust. Prove them wrong by ousting these people as the false prophets they are rather than let your children fall to their toxic masculinity, discrimination, and classism.

            Yeshua the hardline Orthodox Jew from first century Galilee wouldn’t recognize the religion that sprung up only a few decades after his death, let alone what sprung up in Europe, and especially the various modern sects. He would be appalled that gentiles had created an entirely new religion out of the worship of his idol.

    I’m glad to know I’m not a cunt who plays victim. I hate the n word but if I said it and got my ass kicked I wouldn’t be mad because I’ll know I deserved it.

    I hate how these people play victim whenever they face consequences…but can’t wait for Trump to give her the Medal of Honor. ( /s for the trump part)

    The video does not include her saying it to the kid directly, but to the man (presumably father) confronting her, multiple times. Then she admits that yeah she did call the child the n-word because “he acts like one”.

    She proudly and defiantly doubled and tripled down on it while being openly filmed. All she had to do was move on and nobody would have been the wiser. In a normal world, this would be a clear case of “play stupid games, win stupid prizes”.

    I truly hope the (presumably) dad also has some fundraising going on.

      Not being protective of telling children anything such, but I have used ethnic slurs in the past, especially when answering other insults. And when you were being unjustly attacked, then slipped and said something bad, and then are being attacked for that too as if that justified the beginning, then it’s a natural reaction to double down on the unfortunate words too.

      So, eh, depends on the situation. I think I have right to answer people attacking me and putting me into a fight-or-flight situation with any words, they’ll still be in the wrong. But if this is not what happened, then using someone’s race as an argument worthy of repetition should be punished.

        If you call someone a racial slur, you’re attacking an entire race of people, not an individual. Why then would you be surprised that a ton of people get angry at you instead of just the individual you had an issue with? This is some kindergarten-level social competency my dude.

        Everyone fucks up, but when you do, you’re supposed to apologize. If you’re so emotionally stunted that you can only “double down”, then you’re just digging your own grave. Society doesn’t need to accommodate immaturity/anger management issues like that, but it definitely should shun racism.

        Do better.

        I don’t understand what the goal behind making this comment could have been. You start off admitting to using ethnic slurs with an almost “whoopsy daisie” tone. The comment you replied to told you the situation but you still add a hypothetical situation about when you think it would be reasonable to use them. And the appeal to “natural reaction” to defend something that should’nt have happened in the first place. “When people question why I shot a guy, my natural reaction is to shoot them too” doesn’t excuse why you did the thing that got you questioned. There is no situation where you are on the right side when using a slur.

          They have a simplistic tit-for-tat moral code and ignore the relative degree of contempt telegraphed by different ethnic slurs. Trouble seems to find this sort of person wherever they are. They tend to not be very bright. They will not accept your advice. Best to move on.

            They have a simplistic tit-for-tat moral code

            The alternatives are limited to “my group is always right” and “I pick one aspect and ignore all others, and the one aspect is always arbitrarily chosen, and when the comparison kinda equals, the result is arbitrarily chosen”. If you have any to add, you are welcome.

            And the word “simplistic” is usually used by people unable to defend their position with actual points. It’s kinda useless otherwise.

            and ignore the relative degree of contempt telegraphed by different ethnic slurs.

            Since it is not given here what the particular slur would be compared against for any “relative degree”, your comment clearly presents you as someone who

            tends to not be very bright

            , and the advice I won’t accept wasn’t answering my comment. I said that a continuation of an argument doesn’t say much about the beginning.

          Ethnic slurs are a subset of insults here. Not much different from addressing someone’s body features, impairments, life story specifics.

          There is no situation where you are on the right side when using a slur.

          Of course there is, every time it’s a minor part of the event. Like 3000 is greater than 2001, despite 1 being greater than 0. Seems simple enough.

            Ethnic slurs are different because of their historical (and still contemporary) usage in dehumanizing and oppressing groups of people. And, again, why are you listing other ways to insult people, as if they are fine when they’re not?

            Life is a rarely a zero-sum exchange, and quite often both sides aren’t perfect people. Just because someone slapped you after you called them a slur doesn’t mean you’re now in the right because they escalated to physical violence.

            Like I fundamentally am having trouble relating to you on this. I can’t tell if your mental is that fucked, if you are terrible at explaining something I’m missing, or if you’re trying to troll. I’ve come across differences in opinions, based on severity and direction. It feels like we’re not using the same system.

              You even write that yourself. When someone is violating your private space or just attacking you on the street because they don’t like you for whatever reason (autistic people get a lot of that) and they are a humiliated good-for-nothing creature with no other ways to reinforce their self-confidence, you might say a lot of things including slurs to get rid of them, and be right.

              No, you are trying to play intelligent refusing to admit you get a very simple mechanism.

                Aight, we’re done. Your social logic works in a way I am uninterested in interfacing with and your capacity to misinterpret simple scenarios has made the outlook of you developing nuance, unfavorable.

                Have fun calling angry people slurs.

                Edit: I just had to add that the whole thought process is so fundamentally flawed. Why would you double-down on using inflammatory language like slurs that you’ve noted made them act more aggressively to you, if your goal is purported to get them to leave? They name-drop autism but I ain’t never seen someone so divorced from understanding the cause and effects of social levers before.

                Have you considered that the other person here is of perfectly normal intelligence, and you’re just very bad at explaining your position on an extremely sensitive subject? Seriously, I hope you’re just badly fumbling this because oh boy are you presenting yourself like an asshole right now. I’m skeptical that’s it, since you’re clearly lashing out by insulting their intelligence (which frequently correlates) but I also understand how frustrating it can be to try and explain things and be repeatedly told it’s problematic. Maybe take a breath and try this one again. Or just tell me to fuck off, settling the matter and letting us downvote you with a clear conscience

                  and you’re just very bad at explaining your position on an extremely sensitive subject?

                  An extremely sensitive subject is normally discussed the same way as an absolutely mundane subject, just very sensitive.

                  Like a big system is like a small system, just big. And vice versa.

                  Order of statements in a conversation or actions in a conflict matters, and a statement or an action can have different weight.

                  Quite obviously if you are generally right, but have used some nasty insults, you are still generally right. Even if the other side is perfectly polite.
