I lean twords neither being censored as I feel it's not the Government's business to tell the people what we can and can't say (the only time the government should intervene is if one or both parties in conflict with each other steps outside the law). That said, if a private organization censors one, as is their right as a private entity, I would expect them to censor both as well as equivalent racial terms.

Are any white ppl emotionally demoralized with the same degree of anguish as their black counterparts (when called the N word) when someone calls them the C word? I've never seen white ppl lose their minds and want to fight someone over the C word. Is this a joke? Have white ppl been subjugated to the same kinds racist practices that would have made the C word a weapon of oppression? In what country, because that surely hasn't happened in America! In any case, this C word vs the N word is hardly a fair or balanced comparison. Personally, I don't think either word should be censored. Ppl need to see and hear how UGLY they are and how the rest of the world sees them.

I do not care what label someone puts on me, what I care about is their intent. I've been called "friend" by people who enjoy my company. I've been called friend by people who are slipping the proverbial knife between my ribs. I like the first use, I don't like the last.

Neither should be. Anybody with an ounce of decency wouldn't use N word - if they understand what it means and how it enrages the recipient. Same goes for Uncle Tom. If media repeats it when quoting others that's just a quote and adds to the shame of the loudmouth idiot using it with me. But that's just me, so others may see it differently. There's no term that comes to mind that would come close to making me as angry. Maybe liar would come the closest. The rest i.e. white trash, cracker, honky, redneck, mouth-breather or knuckle-dragger are just insults, or fact depending on the recipient. They are just superficial.

Both should be censored ethically. However the censoring should be at the discretion of the station.

Because we don't have a history of Blacks oppressing White people. Use of one implies on some level a return to that power relationship of the old status quo, while use of the other isn't at all threatening.

This false equivalence nonsense is almost funny. Almost.
Unfortunately, there are alot of people who think that the history and impact of these terms is equivalent - especially in the case where so many people don't even know what the 'c word' even is, lol.

Me too, but the wife (from TN, no less) can't make it and mine just tastes like bad coffee.
