Derogatory language and who can use it as a socially acceptable term has been around long before "The UL, Fairy Dust Sprinkling Snowflakes" were born. In Europe the "N" Word is completely normal and not used in the same context, just like the "C" word is commonly used with no issue. Its about geography and social construct.
Was it Snowflakes that made African American culture re-take Ni gger as a culturally accepted term within their own communities back in the 80's? I find it most interesting that one asks:"Why is it not, a male saying a derogatory remark to a female, considered just wrong.
Regardless of color of skin of the person saying it, and/or said to ?"
while consistently using derogatory remarks like "Fairy Dust Sprinkling Snowflakes" among others. Why is it not a forum member saying a derogatory remark to another member considered just wrong?
LOLOLOL. The post said, Nothing, about, WHEN, words were/were not, derogatory at all.
Recently,
(in the, time order of things), Shakespeare used ‘W hore’.
Rather positive Chaucer used
(what would be called today) a derogatory word or two. (if you can read Chaucer)
So the first 1/2 of your post, is subject for another discussion as it has nothing to do with this one.
You equate my saying:
“Fairy Dust Sprinkling Snowflakes”, as a derogatory remark..
It is not, it is a accurate description, of people who make,
Fairy Dust Sprinkling Snowflake, decisions.It is just the same, and as accurate as someone saying,
‘you have green dots on your face’, when they have, green dots on their face.
“ while consistently using derogatory remarks like “Fairy Dust Sprinkling Snowflakes" among others" Does frequency count ? How many times has a POTUS been called, numerous names ? How many times does it take ?
“ Why is it not a forum member saying a derogatory remark to another member considered just wrong? “Apparently, you believe that saying:
(because you are implying it with your post) Idiot, Stupid, Moron, Bat $hit Crazy, Nazi, Fascist, White Supremacist,
(and a whole bunch more) are
Not, derogatory remarks.
The point stands,
Why is a male saying, ‘hoe’ (now THOT), to a female,
considered differently,
depending upon the color of the male’s skin, and the color of the females skin ?
