maybe you'd feel differently if you'd been on the end of that word as an insult. the fact that it's considered permissible for minority groups to chuck around these epithetical terms internally muddies the waters but that doesn't mean all consider it acceptable.
again I don't really see what you're trying to argue here, because the point is that people simply aren't checking around the enn word
as an insult. That's the issue, and that's why as a comparison it simply doesn't hold up. The terms are being used not only in totally different contexts, but crucially with almost polarised intent.
If what you're saying is, 'hypothetically if it were the case that this word was also being used as an insult in the same context with the same intent, would it be equally unnacceptable?' then of course the resounding answer is yes it would be. No one's saying otherwise.

let's not forget white djs play these records, so if as you all seem to think it's all about context where does that leave your argument?
So it follows that it doesn't affect the argument at all. Contextually, who is so out of touch that they don't realise that words like queer and nigga have been reclaimed, and with regard to intent, well that's the same regardless of where you're playing the music or indeed who is playing it, assuming the message is being communicated clearly by the artists who made the records. I think in cases like these Badness lyrics the message is pretty unambiguous..
