Cvnt applies to women which make up approx 50% of the population.

so what? it's not nearly as ugly a word. cvnt isn't a word of hatred throughout history and a verbal display of how ugly we can be. cvnt is just another ugly anger word. it carries no history of government sanctioned torture, oppression, and practically any kind of negative -ism...

there's NO way cvnt is anywhere near as ugly a word as n!gger. n!gger wins by far.

That't not what I meant though. I have no problem calling a black person "a black person". But referring them to "blacks" or "a black" rubs me the wrong way.

Like - "those blacks down the road invited us over to dinner."
Or Like - "You know who I'm talking about, the guy from HR... he's a black."

Calling them "a" black is differnt then calling someone black.

But that is just dumb. Who the hell says that?

I would say "The black family down the road invited us over to dinner" or

"You know who I am talking about, the guy from HR..the black dude."

Honestly...

Brotha's call one another n1gger... heck, I've been called n1gger by some of my friends (who are black) and I didn't mind a bit.

Yup, racial slurs are mostly specific to one region, but words like the above are known and offensive everywhere english is spoken.
