Calm down there, comrade, I hear what you're saying. But the example of Chris Rock is--to put it simply--terrible. The thing is that people can determine the difference between white people and white trash because there's a widly known distinction between the two, but the world doesn't know the difference between black people and "niggers", so as long as you use the term "nigger", you can't expect people to know that you're refering to black people that do bad things.

Chris Rock created that distinction for his set as a comedian, not to offer the intellectual world a definition of the word "nigger" and how it's different than your average black person.
