This is why I know it was staged. Only lowlifes and for some reason the younger generation use the N word. It goes across all races and is pretty much meaningless.

White people use and call black people the N word all the time from what I've witnessed. Well over 99% of the time it's not used as an old-fashion racial slur. It's either used as term of endearment or simply as a reference like "this guy" "this man", "this dude".

But tell me how it is not an initiation of force if you put someone in a possible predicament of being harmed because of something you did? Pretend you don't think it was staged, or some similar situation.
Because force only occurs when force occurs.

"Inciting" or "provoking" violence is a very slippery slope because then words become weaponized. Each individual is responsible for his/her actions. Getting screamed at by a nut in handcuffs saying nasty things to you is not a threat. If he wasn't in handcuffs he still isn't a threat unless he winds up to throw that first punch.

There are way worse weapons than insults in this world. I do agree that words hurt, but check it out... people can and do still use that word all the time when they're not supposed to.

And it still bothers people or nobody would mind it when that girl sang written lyrics to a published song.

So, yeah... it still bothers people. So, did taking it work? I will argue that it did not and the best thing to do is get rid of it entirely.

It's a really rude word.

These are probably the terms I should have used because the situation very well could have caused harm to her by inciting other people as can be heard in the video.

Its really just the media that decide these things. If the media wanted to, it would be easy to bankrupt rappers that spew misogynist and sexist garbage, advertisements pulled and sales plummeting. But they are allowed to continue by the media. The media has decided that sexism and homophobia is more acceptable than other forms of bigotry, but that can easily change. Its up to the media.

Violence is not the answer.

I understand the temptation to classify bad/nasty behavior as a reason to get violent but we can't think that. You can always walk away and/or simply ignore it.

And the person who initiates violence is always wrong and committing an immoral act.

It doesnt make the sexism and misogynist language any better though. Its just vile and obscene. And hypocritical.
