Is there a single word in the English language that is more powerful than "nigger"? Nigger can, in one utterance, nigh-permanently ruin anybody's life.

Whitey

Whitey hurts feelings but it doesn't really change anything.

You need to be a nigger to be insulted by the word nigger.

It is interesting that it is impossible to insult White people with any sort of word that refers to their race. I cannot think of any slang word reference to my race that would upset me, as a White person. And they've tried. "Honky", "Ofay", whatever: YAWN. Must be frustrating for them!

I remember that one socialist chick in my uni using this life of thought to explain to me why "reverse racism" doesn't exist

The last two are unironically true, they only hate white people because they hate themselves

Does it really hurt your feelings, though? I am white and it doesn't bother me at all to be called whitey. That is what I am, so what?

Great talking point for those people, totally fucks them up, say: can you experience racism with no words

>You need to be a nigger to be insulted by the word niggers.
That's not what I meant. I meant that the word nigger commands attention. It completely overtakes otherwise reasonable people. It is imbued with a power that turns normal people into screeching idiots. When Michael Richards was calling people niggers, he wasn't crucified in the court of public opinion because people were insulted. It was like a spell was cast that drove people to violence.

i'd say "cunt" comes close
even now it still retains some power to shock
