Is there even a need for it anymore? Do we need a more derogatory term for blacks that isn't just summed up by calling them "black?" The whole world is aware of the danger of blacks after the Austin Metcalf story (and countless others). Calling them "niggers" just distracts from the issue and puts the focus on you for "using a bad word." If someone gets robbed, murdered, etc. needlessly, you just shrug and say "well, that's blacks for you." Sure, you might get a "that's racist!", but by avoiding the derogatory term and getting the truth across, you're less likely to be shunned as some wild bigot.

Just a thought. I probably won't totally stop using it because I think it's funny, you can't get too derogatory when talking about those subhumans, and I need to retain my Voat card. But it just makes me think of the old Chris Rock skit describing the difference between "blacks" and "niggers." The niggers have so overrun whatever decent blacks existed in those days, that now basically all blacks are niggers, so the distinction is no longer relevant. So making the distinction and using the word "nigger" just serves to muddy the message by using a shock word. That's all. In communities where it's not shocking, I don't see that it makes a difference.
