why can a black man say 'white boy', but a white man can't say '******'

[kayjay]

That's not true. Simply stating somebody's color isn't that bad.

So 'nigg.er' isn't that bad?

WHY is it bad? Whatever reasonable answer you give applies also to 'whiteboy'.

Don't go on this whole "blacks have a special history" routine. The history of black people is not unique, they're not the oppressed people.

While we are on the subject, it seems that I am taking two philosophy courses next semester. One is business ethics and another is relationship philosophy and ethics.

While business ethics are more or less clear, are the relationship ethics what I think they are?
Do you have any experience with these sort of classes?

Kaynan ducked me. I'd refer to his gender ("boy"), but that would be a slur too

Never heard of relationship philosophy.

How bout we just call each other by our names. Ni99a is a name made up by white people to degrade and offend us thats the difference. White boy was not a made up name to degrade white dudes. Ni99a and Honky are on the same plain both are made up names to degrade. Now the difference between white boy and black boy or just boy period is a problem w/ me. In the south white people used to call us that no matter the age of the black person and thats why I have a problem w/ that also. I wouldn't call a man boy white or black. Where I'm from that is grounds to get your ass whooped.

Oh yeah, the correct name of the class is "personal relations ethics".

I agree that we should not use the slurs period, after that it all get's very tricky.

The hard part is trying to rank order them. "Whiteboy" is definitely a slur, the way it's typically used. If it's less of a slur than other slurs, no one can easily say.

Is it worse to call a ***** a 'hoe' or a '****'?

Or you can look at it from a different perspective, when someone calls me white boy(connotation in mind) he insults me on two different levels. First he calls me "white". I am not white nor was I ever white, I am different shades of brown and pink all around the year and calling me some made up race name that gathers all people around the world with a similar skin pygmintation is a fallacy and an insult. He might as well call me mexican or french.

Then he calls me a "boy", that is already an insult that tries to put me one down(taking into consideration that children in power rankings are usually inferior and are associated with weakness, conformity, etc...). If you want to note my young age, you can call me "young man" not boy.
