In this video, I drop an n-bomb. Biiiig one; hard 'R'.
I did this to show my interlocutors that their language doesn't impress me, that their slurs don't frighten or disarm me.
You can see from their reactions that it worked-they were clearly taken aback.
It was a power move which I am entirely unashamed of, but I understand how that language might have upset some of you. This is an example of what I would call an invocation of a slur's power for good', but that's a subjective judgement. I invite you all to discuss this in the comments, critically or otherwise!
