I'd like to think of myself as an Equal Opportunity Offender. I like to piss off everyone. In our hyper-PC world, one innocent word could piss off billions of people. You can't please all the people all the time. ;)
Seriously though, I admittedly use slurs when hanging out with close friends...people that know where I'm coming from and people that I know won't flip out over it. I'll use "nigger" around Rho (who is black), "faggot" around my friend Bill (who is gay), and I'll use both with someone like Dave (who is neither). I wish that someone could come up with a great derogatory word for white folks, b/c I know I'd use that one the most. That's my new project!!! "Cracker" is weak.
(I also use them in certain situations for adding "effect," e.g. Rho's "Good Nigger Card." Use of the words in some situations seems to be well-tolerated.)
Could I eliminate such words from my vocabulary? Sure. But as I see it, those words are part of the deep end of my vernacular. When I use them, I only use them with certain people or in certain situations where they are highly unlikely to offend. I try to use good common sense when using such words, and I don't see a problem in using them in the manner that I do.
Now then, I hope this thread doesn't get retarded. :)
