Harrison remark, Intentional?

Wrong, young white-guilt buck. The word is in the English language, which if you happened to have forgotten is the national language. It's not some regional or cultural dialect, nor does it belongs exclusively to any single ethnic group. No person, regardless of their background or history, is going to tell any other person that "I can say this but you can't because of something that maybe some distant relative of yours might have done decades ago to someone who may or may not even resemble me."
Public opinion agrees with my position on this issue as proven over and over again when the word is used publicly by various people of various racial backgrounds.

Idon't think it was meant in a derogatory manner. The offensive part was "Fuck that...".

The last part was just a way to identify Frank as a member of the same group.

Imagine he'd said "that n----- is good". Would that be offensive?
Only if said person hails from a group that the observer has already assumed to be a racist. Then it's definitely racist. Also, this progressive perspective absolves all other demographics of potential bigotry, including any otherwise ill-advised assumptions of racism and their absolute nature.

P. S. I tend to agree with your comprehension of this usage, which is why I suggested that he meant it like "bitch". It was certainly derogatory but not with the actual definition of the word (which only adds to the absurdity of using it like that)

Dont you know? whoever yells the loudest and makes the biggest stink is the only voice that matters milli
Forgot about that, thanks for the reminder... :lol:

Let's take a fun trip down memory lane to the original post in this thread.

Where's the fallout over Harrison's rude racist remark? his use of the "N" word?
Where's Al Sharpton and all the others when you need them?
Where's the media overflow on this?

You see why this continues to amuse me, right?
