as i said, half right, half wrong
when you ask someone if they sell a table
does it have 3 or 4 legs?
or more?
less?
so a plate without legs is a table?
you know im not even a nihilist xD
but im enjoyin this discussion
the meaning of words is not absolute
LANGUAGE?
you know
other languages, other words an meanings
words are subjective
related to what language you understand
whats this discussion about
if words are relative or absolute
if im a racist cuz i think the word nigger is fine
absolute
how are they absolute?
with more than 1 meaning?
and different languages?
nigger holds the same meaning
wrong
to you, nigger could mean friend
to a rich man 200 years ago, it could mean "my slave"
🤔
YES IT DOES
thanks for understanding
not really, in the context it was used it may mean slave or friend
but nigger by itself means black person
a derogatory word due to historical context
yes
meaning of the word is absolute
so callin someone black... isnt discriminating but correct
but the context it used in is relative
its historical context is extremely offensive
okay, youre better at explaining this than me
it can be
it was used as a word to describe black slaves by rich white people
doesnt have to
