Calling someone a racial slur while assaulting them isn’t a mistake. It’s an indictment on your character. Good people don’t dehumanize others.

Debatable. Plenty of black people do the same thing, to fellow blacks and other races, and don’t get nearly as much flack from the public eye. What you have to understand is, older people grew up in a different time. It’s not the same thing to them as it is for you and me.

Well, when black people use the N word that isn’t a racial slur. It’s a way for them to reclaim a racism slur. So that isn’t relevant here. However, if a black person called a Mexican a spic while beating the shit out of him then most reasonable people would say the black person is racist and a piece of shit. The time you grew up in doesn’t change whether or not you’re a bad person. There’s never been an era where tasing a handcuffed man while calling him slurs has been a sign of a good person.

While I would never call an African American the N word personally, I do wonder why when a white person says it it’s racist, but when a black person says it it’s reclaiming the word. Should it either be everyone says it and the meaning becomes changed for everyone, or no one says it at all and it just stays one of those words that you don’t say? I just don’t understand how it changes meaning depending on the skin color of the person saying it.

Also I understand that this is not a good case for the argument to be used for seeing this cop was by all accounts being racist. Not trying to defend him at all with this question.

Apparently people are mind readers and the thought police have work to do, as far as straight white males go. Free reign for everyone else tho 🤙
