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

Actually it does. If you are aware that a phrase is a racial slur but you still believe that it is acceptable to use in day to day life then you are in fact, racist.

A person who values each person individually would say “wow there are millions of other words to use, I will just not use the hateful slur.”

Yeah, I don't mean acceptable in day to day life. You're not getting what I'm saying and are most concerned with labeling a person as something. Not suprised!

I know what you are getting at. People may not say it intending to cause another race harm.

That said, when a person decides to use a racial slur just to like, talk smack or whatever, they are deciding that those words are acceptable to use directed at another person. Deciding that racial slurs are ok to use in a context like that speaks to that persons view on race.
