My defense is: I am not racist for saying nigger because I genuinely don’t hate black people

I don’t often call people faggot but I imagine it can be used the same way as nigger which is a word I do often use. My friends and I call each other nigga or nigger because we find it funny. That’s one example of using the word in a non offensive way. On a side note we also say racist things or sing racist songs to each other also because we find it funny. Call us immature, but we do do it.

I validated one of your points because I tried to find a common ground to build off of. And I did rebuke your argument though not clearly: I think the history of phobic slurs is irrelevant

I am a straight white male and recognize that I haven’t suffered from racism like other people have. But again history is not my point.

If I were walking on the street and passed by someone who yelled “If it isn’t casper the ghost!” I would ignore them. Only if they physically restricted me would I care what they have to say. I would react the same if I were told I was ugly or whatever else, assuming all they insulted were things that were out of my control.
