It's particularly stupid. The word that cannot be said is like a dumbass dance.

I'd agree with the idea that if you go around calling black people niggers to insult them you're most likely a racist. But people need to not be niggers about it. Like if someone comes up to you and says "you are a stupid violent thug" is your response "I am angry I beat you up" and prove them right?

The instant some dumbass comes out flinging n-bombs in a conversation they've lost the battle for public opinion, you've won, you don't need to do anything. Just ignore them. They aren't going to get anywhere with that.
