I'm sure you are talking about Huckleberry Finn which it only says nigger once.

Well, this may be the stupidest question I have ever come across. But this board is shit these days. I will attempt to answer your question as two seperate questions, because I fail to see the correlation between the two scenarios you give. Art is a very hard thing to define, but I think we would all agree, without getting into a argument over aesthetics, that it is basically a expression of the artist. A person can say anything they want to with their art in any way they prefer. Words have no meaning other than the ones we attach to them. Nigger is a very common word, and it would be difficult to find someone who does not find the word acceptable in atleast one circumstance. I personally say the word "Nigger" all the time and I am offended when some kid defaces this glorious word by substituting the "I" with a "*"
The reason you have to do the dishes when you say "fuck you" to your mom is because you are being punished for being disrespectful and having a potty mouth. But I do not see this scenario ever taking place, considering you are to much of a pussy to type the word "Nigger" on the 4chan.

You must point out the flaws in my reasoning instead of just ridiculing them.

No. It seems like you are fairly new. Or you would remember the days when you could not just post a image calling someones argument retarded without providing a reason. I demand a written rebuttal of my statements or you most forfeit and recognize I am the superior being. I am going to sleep and expect this by morning.

>implying 4chan was ever anything more than a cesspool of negativity and ridicule, much less a place where legitimate rebuttal occurred

Also, your post really IS fucking retarded.

The audio preview gets cut off, but you can read the rest at the bottom.

Words are only tools to convey thought. Nigger, like many other words that are supposed to be bad, aren't bad at all. People get offended by them only because they aren't often used in a nice way.
