can anyone remember galloways argument about why its wrong for a white person to use the nword, and why it doesn't have the same value as if a black person uses it? to do with the history of slavery etc - i remember it being a great argument, but i can't really remember it
neko, i don't suppose thats one you've youtubed is it?
galloway and the nword
I think the discussion was to compare against someone from an ethnic minority using a derogatory word against a ruling majority.
I think the argument was about the relative power in current society .. almost as if it was a way to verbally answer back.
