Because it diminishes me to use such epithets for people. Might as well call them nigga scum a lot of them or white trash or bastards - says nothing about them but a lot about me. Who are we to be so lofty as to call other people names? They are human beings - people like me, people unlike me, but still people. Respec' !!
I'd say it
might bring us down to their level to use such terms, but that's not what you mean! You mean ( I think!) that we shouldn't be so judgemental as to use such terms for other human beings. My argument to that would be that these people weren't ACTING like 'human beings' and thankfully they're definitely UNlike me! I wouldn't bring race into it because 1) I don't care WHAT race folk are and 2) these riots were nothing to do with race! All ethnicities were rioting! Respect is something that's earned - not a given just by being part of the human race!!
