Reply to comment by raz0rsnak3 in Citing racism, MUHS girls’ basketball team skip game at Enosburg Falls by thedvlandgod

This is the kind of weaselly forum-shopping that comprises intellectual dishonesty. None of us has the time or expertise to know ‘what’s in their heart’ or to separate the true-believer bigots from the grifters. You’re engineering the discussion so we throw up our hands and do nothing. Hate speech is hate.

Who decides what hate speech is? Who picks the words? You?

If you say a word once publicly does that make you a hateful racist?

GTFO with your one size fits all label

Don’t cut yourself with that razor’s edge! You know very well who decides what words mean- users themselves! And yes, if you say the n-word the people hearing you have good reason to believe you are demonstrating racism, despite your ‘just words’ defense.
