Incidentally, a bunch of SJWs on Tumblr are whinging about John Lennon using the word in that context.
If SJW stands for what I think it does, I've officially stopped caring.

Social Justice Warrior. I wish I could stop caring, but like any train wreck, it's full of bile fascination.

The most I tend to use the word is when I'm discussing either history or language, usually on my own damn show, too. =P

...or when I'm quoting George Carlin (and even then, it's in the context of discussing language). ;)

I noticed that many people proscribing against the use of the word "nigga" by black people are often white themselves. And yet they feel the need to control how us minorities speak. Does anyone else see the racist hypocrisy in this?

Kind of has a white savior syndrome vibe to it.

Exactly what I meant. It's the centuries-old White Man's Burden except it's perpetuated by supposed "anti-racists". Hm...

I view it the same way as I view "faggot". When its used against gays, its terrible. But as a generic insult, its OK (though it makes them sound like a /b/tard).
Faggot has the historical connotation too. It refers to the "bundle of sticks used for firewood" definition. People who use it as a slur are basically saying gays are the faggots(the stick definition) of Hell.
This doesn't mean that someone saying "DO IT FAGGOT" is a total homophobic prick though.

The use of the words "faggot" tomean "homosexual" actually comes from old british schools. Male students would be placed in pairs of one upperclassman and one lowerclassman. One of the jobs of the lowerclassman was to bring wood for the upperclassman, therefore he was known as the upperclassman's "faggot". And then "faggot" came to mean homosexual.

Fundamentalists not bothering to research the origins of the word they used?
