Nigger comes from the white term "nigro", which comes from negro, which is Spanish for black. It does not mean whatever the fuck you said. It was used as a racist term said from whites to African-American.
"Fag" is used also as an insult, but it shouldn't be. The word "fag", or faggot, means 1) a gay homosexual, or, 2) a bundle of sticks. Whoever made faggot an insult is horribly wrong, just like you were. Although you are right about Justin bieber, do not use the word "fag". Instead, use something else.
Anyhow, I accept the fact that the words are bad NOW. I'm actually going through a unit on censorship in my english class and one of my biggest arguments for not censoring is the historical context. Regarding someone's comment on Mark Twain niggering, I'm reading Huck Finn for class. HF was written in the language of the common person, so they wouldn't say 'black person', 'negro', 'african american', or 'black servant'. They'd say 'nigger' because it saves on a syllable, like how 'injun' saves a syllable on 'indian'. It's really just how fast you want to say things, which in those days (and now), the common person wants to talk as much in a given amount of time, thus cutting words if possible. Another thing: slavers didn't make 'nigger' a bad word. Actually, a better way of putting that is that slavers didn't make the WORD 'nigger' a bad thing. They made the CONTEXT a bad thing. I have at least three black friends and I refer to them as
Just curious, why did was your first comment 'bloody fucking hell'? I very rarely see/hear/read Americans use 'bloody'. You European?
