A person can earn a right to use racial slurs? How does that work?
By being born within the minority race.

Fatherless families. The cause of that is the rules of welfare and the lack of need for a father if the government is the provider.

Why? Will whites earn the right to use racial slurs when they become a minority race in a generation?
Okay, fair question. I had a long response, but I think this one is simpler and better.
So racism started because of fatherless families?!
If they end up being bought and sold property...certainly.

His argument is one huge fail. Just because the people you use the word around have a different meaning for it than the reason whites used it for in the past still does not make its usage right. Besides, as a bystander, I can still see the word being used by blacks to celebrate "gangster" character in the person they are addressing. It just so happens that if a white person calls a black person that name, he is saying that person has a "gangster" character too, but he thinks gangster character is not something to be celebrated and emulated but shunned and despised.

you're saying that the concept of "minority" is dependent on setting?

I thought you said racial minority. Now, you changed it to bought and sold slave....which is it?
In relation to racism, yes...it's contextually relevant.
