What does this mean?

That woman was no lady. imo, she should be charged with attempt murder. There is no word that justifies stomping on someone's spine and kicking them.

Thanks.

But now we have SHABAZZ wanting to give the woman a medal. LOL.

One step forward...two steps back on C-D.
There's been an awakening. We're not having this anymore.

Yes there is. The "N" word... The video in the OP proves this..

And violence is the answer?

There's no clear cut answer but I would say sometimes. I wish it never got to this point but it is and racists are going to learn something today...

If you and I had a conversation in person and I said the N word while making a point would you physically attack me?

It depends on the context.

Does my "race" impact the decision?

And for someone else it may be the "B" word.

For some women it may be c^nt

For some whites it may be cracker

For some gays it may be the "F" word

For some Muslims it may be ?

Imagine if we lived in a society where everyone could arbitrarily decide which offensive word allows them to attempt murder. And imagine if each individual gets to judge the extent of the punishment. For some it may be a gun shot...maybe decapitation...perhaps stoning?

And what happens in cases where the person is drunk or on medication or has some mental condition that might cause them to blurt out something offensive? What if the person being attacked was misunderstood? Perhaps the attacker mistakenly thought the offensive word was directed at them?
