  • So I can use the N-word casually, then. As in “don’t be a n***er” when someone wants to steal something. Because that’s what you’re suggesting people do with “retarded”.

    • I'm saying the word retarded has a genuine foundation as an insult, namely that being retarded is a bad thing. I think most people would say that being a black isn't a bad thing, right? So to use the word nigger as an insult would mean the person saying it thinks it is a bad thing.
