No I'm not suggesting anything. Exactly where did you read a suggestion in my question?
I am asking if a word is so offensive that it creates a chit storm why is it used. Why do the people who find a particular label offensive insist on using that word themselves. It seems a contradiction. If the word were honestly that offensive it would be so all the time. There is no confusion on my part, the truth is these offensive terms really aren't offensive. Some people just want to control or pick and choose who can say what when and to whom.
I have gotten thru life just fine by not being a hypocrite. If I find something inappropriate in others I also refrain from that particular behavior myself. I guess the entitled snowflake generation promotes "do as I say not as I do".
I don't know why white conservatives are so conflicted on this subject. There's only two things you need to understand. Black folks can use the "N" word and white folks can't. If we find a term offensive so be it. How we feel is the only feelings that matter when deciding what "WE" consider offensive and what "WE" don't...
Think about this. There's a very specific reason white folks aren't walking around liberally using the "N" word in our society..

Could a "white" friend ever use the word with you? Could he ever call you that word?

If you call educating conflicted white male conservatives on who can and who can't use the "N" word trolling, so be it... There are certain words that can and can't be said by everyone. Double standard or not...
When wasa the last time you actually the word n.... used?
You don't.
Not even when a reporter is telling a story about a person that did.
They ALWAYS say, "he called them "the "N" word".
Whe it is tanlked about they NEVER actually say the word. It s Always, "the "N" word".
Honestly, I used it about twelve years ago and it was directed toward me, not a black person, when a loved one was dying and the increasing pressure at work had me going on a diatribe with a friend. I cringed the minute I said it, and it was the first, and last time, I ever used that word.
I will once again repeat what you and others want to continue ignoring. The *n* word is an emotionally charged word in a way that wop, ****, cracker, whitey, etc. are not. No others have a history in our country where they were made to be slaves and called such names while suffering whippings and other abuse.
That you cannot understand the difference means you either have zero empathy for the history of others, or you just don't give a damn.

That's the world according to you. As I said entitled snowflake and all.
I am not conflicted I just don't agree and certainly not that my words can be dictated by you or anyone else.
