Joan Rivers drops the n-word on HPLive "the world is so PC its stupid"

[No Angel 128]

Point blank, if you aren't Black, you shouldn't be using the N-word. Jesus Christ. 

 

What is PC?

 

Politically correct, I believe.

Thanks! Welp, she aint PC. Saying this word is never PC :rip:

[Matti 91]

Not "too politically correct", just "respectful"

Fine line between those 2. I think political correctness is way out of control nowadays, people flip out about the smallest things, when everyone knows that the person who said it meant no disrespect.

Creating headlines to plug her latest book I see. Savvy business woman tbh :spin:

why

[Solar 604]

Louis C.K. and Bill Maher use the word n-i-g-g-e-r regularly, and not a creature stirs not even a mouse. Joan Rivers uses the word n-i-g-g-e-r, and a witch hunt begins.

She did not call anyone a n-i-g-g-e-r, she used the word in the context of a conversation about political correctness. If you aren't mature enough to handle that kind of conversation, then stay the hell out of the conversation.

Yep.

That's a nice way to put it, but as a Black male who is mature enough to have a conversation with a non-Black person over the N-word (which I've had many times in a calmly/friendly manner), I still find it very uncomfortable for them to use it while we talk.. even if they feel the word should not be used. 

[MJHolland 12,725]

I would agree with her to an extent, but she just crosses like line with stuff like this.

Whatever old folks home she wondered out of unsupervised needs to be shut down immediately.

If you value a comfortable conversation over an honest conversation then you don't get to sit at the big kids table when uncomfortable matters are being discussed. 

[LaLuna 12,732]

Damn, she's really making a career out of putting her foot in her mouth lately. She really needs to learn to shut up.

Well, when you and your friends have been verbally assaulted and harassed by a old White male with racial slurs and insults like "N-i-g-g-e-r" and "Human ****" (like I have in the past) you would have your guard up whenever the word is used by someone by who isn't Black even in the most frank form. 

 

But I guess I'm still not mature enough to sit at the big kids table and discuss stuff that have personally affected me in the past, eh?
