Let me get this straight...You don't hold your tongue when it comes to things that can offend people, but you hold your tongue when you personally are offended? I think that perhaps it should be the other way around.bollocks.
shutting up whenever you're about to say anything mildly confrontational just because you don't want to offend people is not a virtue (especially considering how easily offended a large segment of the American population is.) personally, I'd say that there are a ton of people out there who need to be offended a bit more often.
there's also pretty major difference between the words n*gger and nigga. you're not going to hear young black kids call each other "n*gger" to cultivate their thug-image, even though they're both basically the same word. "nigga" simply carries less luggage.
and for what it's worth, I thought "niggas triangulate" was kind of funny.
