    Do some serious self-crit. You wouldn't call the Ugandan government the n-word for having reactionary policies.

      That doesn't mean anything. Meanwhile, I can still categorize the US penal system as barbaric, and we all understand what I mean. I don't know why Uganda/n*word even grants comparison.

        Calling historical victims of colonialism barbaric is racist. Calling historical perpetrators of colonialism barbaric is fine.

        Your defense here is "I wouldn't be racist if I were calling white Americans barbaric".

            That's true, but it wasn't meant as a direct equivalent. It was meant to point out that racism is not an acceptable response to bad policy, by example of a policy and a slur that are both much worse.
