as i said, half right, half wrong

2017-10-11 14:46:21 UTC  

when you ask someone if they sell a table

2017-10-11 14:46:25 UTC  

does it have 3 or 4 legs?

2017-10-11 14:46:31 UTC  

or more?

2017-10-11 14:46:37 UTC  

less?

2017-10-11 14:47:04 UTC  

so a plate without legs is a table?

2017-10-11 14:47:24 UTC  

you know im not even a nihilist xD

2017-10-11 14:47:32 UTC

2017-10-11 14:48:00 UTC  

the meaning of words is not absolute

2017-10-11 14:48:05 UTC  

LANGUAGE?

2017-10-11 14:48:13 UTC  

you know

2017-10-11 14:48:19 UTC  

other languages, other words an meanings

2017-10-11 14:48:32 UTC  

words are subjective

2017-10-11 14:48:42 UTC  

related to what language you understand

2017-10-11 14:48:52 UTC  

whats this discussion about

2017-10-11 14:49:03 UTC  

if words are relative or absolute

2017-10-11 14:49:12 UTC  

if im a racist cuz i think the word nigger is fine

2017-10-11 14:49:20 UTC  

absolute

2017-10-11 14:49:32 UTC  

how are they absolute?

2017-10-11 14:49:37 UTC  

with more than 1 meaning?

2017-10-11 14:49:39 UTC  

to you, to me, to anyone

2017-10-11 14:49:43 UTC  

and different languages?

2017-10-11 14:49:43 UTC  

nigger holds the same meaning

2017-10-11 14:50:01 UTC  

wrong

2017-10-11 14:50:06 UTC  

to you, nigger could mean friend

2017-10-11 14:50:17 UTC  

to a rich man 200 years ago, it could mean "my slave"

2017-10-11 14:50:27 UTC  

🤔

2017-10-11 14:50:34 UTC  

YES IT DOES

2017-10-11 14:50:39 UTC  

thanks for understanding

2017-10-11 14:50:39 UTC  

not really, in the context it was used it may mean slave or friend

2017-10-11 14:50:44 UTC  

but nigger by itself means black person

2017-10-11 14:50:54 UTC  

a derogatory word due to historical context

2017-10-11 14:50:57 UTC  

yes

2017-10-11 14:51:06 UTC  

meaning of the word is absolute

2017-10-11 14:51:09 UTC  

so callin someone black... isnt discriminating but correct

2017-10-11 14:51:12 UTC  

but the context it used in is relative

2017-10-11 14:51:23 UTC  

its historical context is extremely offensive

2017-10-11 14:51:26 UTC  

okay, youre better at explaining this than me

2017-10-11 14:51:33 UTC  

it can be

2017-10-11 14:51:33 UTC  

it was used as a word to describe black slaves by rich white people

2017-10-11 14:51:36 UTC  

doesnt have to
