Should calling people the n-word be banned for both whites and blacks.

Now judges, I will first give some brief observations(Section A) then begin my arguments(Section B) then attack my opponents arguments(Section C) the give some reasons why I should win (Section D) Section A Observation 1-A Lackluster definition This definition is not close to relevant in today's debate nor is it the actual definition from wikipedia This is the actual definition. "Nigger is a noun in the English language, most notable for its usage in a pejorative context to refer to black people (generally people of Sub-Saharan African descent), and also as an informal slang term, among other contexts. It is a common ethnic slur. The word originated as a term used in a neutral context to refer to black people, as a variation of the Spanish/Portuguese noun negro, a descendant of the Latin adjective niger, meaning the color "black"" We should abide by this definition the entire round since my opponent has no given a reasonable definition. . http://en.wikipedia.org... Observation 2-Resolution is different than the title The title of this debate is "Should calling people the n-word be banned for both whites and blacks? " In my opponents opening speech my opponent stated that "I feel that the N- word should be banned from the vocabulary of every race" meaning that they cannot say it in general and that the people that say it aren't only black and white. (With or without a person of Black Ethnicity in the surrounding) This should be the resolution that is followed. Section B-My Arguments Agruement 1-America is the land of individual rights and freedom of speech America, One of the most free nations in the world. America was based on a multitude of radical ideals(At the time radical) that still guide us this day. And one of those was the freedom of speech. This entitles a Citizen to say what they want an not be prosecuted for it. Banning a word(If that is even possible) would take away from what America was based on. As Americans we have the rights to say what we want to say whether it is -Criticizing the government(A favourite pastime) -Complaining about something(Another favourite pastime) -Calling someone a slang term(Look a definition) This is our right as Americans Argument 2-Impossible to mediate or censor what somebody says This is Not Television. Every time someone says something that my be offensive to one particular person we cannot "BLEEP" it out or ***** it either. It is impossible to control what someone says with their mouth. And to prove it I cannot control what my opponent can say next round (I'd like to let it be known that this argument was for proving a point and the example was not a joke a should be taken into account for) Agruement 3-Irresponsible to focus on banning one word that might be offensive to someone To get down to the gist of this argument, what I'm basically saying that I one word is offensive then any words that are offensive should be taken out of context, which would be logically impossible. So whenever someone calls me stupid(In the funny stupid way) then that word should be taking out of our vocabulary, even if I'm not offended. Lets face it, People get offended all the time no matter what you say. So when you cater to one word you have to cater to them all. Section C-Opponent Argument's My opponents main argument is that "Some(Black people I presume) think it offensive while some call themselves that" My Attacks against this are as follows -Define Most Black People(Because I don't care what anyone says, but hey that's me) -Do you have any sources to prove what some people think? Section D My opponents Case is lacking three major things Sources Arguments True understanding of the topic at hand While you have seen me give three major points you have seen my opponent with none but one. But what this debate boils down to is the fact that Words are words. We have the rights to say what we want. If one person is offended by it who are we to say a word should be banned.
