My point from the get-go was always that the N-word is not defined exclusively as an insult directed at blacks. You, on the other hand, ultimately veered off-topic and began arguing in vain that "ignorant" could not be accurately defined as an offensive term. Don't fret; it's quite common for one to seek a subject change in the midst of a losing argument, especially in the light that one is not as well-read as one's opponent.
How did I come to this conclusion? Well, you've had a tendency to contradict yourself, my naive friend. When one starts contradicting oneself, then one, for all intents and purposes, is clambering in an effort to grasp hold of whatever point that, in one's own mind, appears relevant to one's side of the argument. Case in point: You state that you "do not accept derogative terms as correct - or even acceptable - English." Ignoring that "derogative" isn't proper vernacular, your initial argument was that the only acceptable definition of the N-word was the derogatory one. Contradiction is quite the bitch, as evidenced by your conflicting statements.
That, my simple-minded friend, is all. I do commend you for the effort, though.

I never changed direction in my argument.
My very first post to you mentioned the definition and misconception of the word 'ignorant.'
As stated, the N word is said to mean, 'ignorant.'
Feel free to check my posts. I'm going to bed.

To clarify, the "N"-word isn't a derogatory term that is associated exclusively with blacks. The word, by definition, means "ignorant", which can be accurately associated with your simple-minded understanding. So, in short, your bigoted way of thinking has earned you that label. (Though, I am aware that your gaming buddies, online or otherwise, are probably equally as uninformed as you and are not familiar with the "N"-word's true meaning.)
Also, if you're going to criticize the butchering of the English through slang/Ebonics, then one thing I would suggest is doing a quick grammar check of your own statements in the process. Case in point:

Please don't call me "chick." You are not in the position for that, plus, I don't like being called that. Not to mention, I think what I wrote would pass rather than the bullshit that I posted in the previous page. THAT is butcher, what I did... not too many would catch that and make a comment on it.
Now, time to actually get some sleep and wake up five hours from now to really celebrate my aging process celebration.

I'm gonna go off a limb and quote Louis CK here.
"Everybody – everybody has different words that offend them, different things that they hear that they get offended by – I’m – to me, the thing that offends me the most, is every time that I hear the “N” word. Not “nigger” by the way. I mean the “N” word, literally whenever a white lady on CNN with nice hair says: “The ‘N’ word.” That’s just white people getting away with saying nigger, that’s all that is. They found a way to say nigger. “N word.” It’s bullshit cause when you say the “N word” you put the word nigger in the listeners head. That’s what saying a word is. You say the N word and I go oh she means nigger. Your making me say it in my head. Why don’t you f&ckin say it instead and take responsibility, with the shitty words you wanna say. "
Skyrim DLC is cool btw.

That's true. 17 bucks for 3 months of ps+ ain't that bad really. Oh, and the DMC demo was great.

Oh why thank you!! I would eat cake, if it was an ice cream cake. However, my stomach just doesn't like cake as much as I thought it would. However, you should have a nice day today, good sir!!!
I said good day sir!
Unlike most people on Facebook, I don't click the "Like" button, or just say thank you. I go to the extreme and write to them a meaningful thank you message, with a bit of humor behind them, and let them know how much their birthday wish means to me. THAT is how you thank people in today's society... Sadly, I have yet to see another person do what I do with birthday thank yous.

Factually speaking, my response had everything to do with your blog post. Case in point: You claimed that your gaming buddies "really truly believe that all the people they play against is black, or they think that the word serves other purposes." In my response, I was merely shedding light on the fact that the term indeed does have other meanings.
I have a feeling that selective reading has come into play and, consequently, you have overlooked some of the very same things that you have unnecessarily repeated. Case in point: I stated that "I am aware that your gaming buddies, online or otherwise, are probably equally as uninformed as you and are not familiar with the N-word's true meaning." Thus, the following was all but redundant: "When people actually use that word, they're not using it to call someone "ignorant," they're blatantly using that word in a pejorative manner against that specific race."
For the sake of my opening argument, you, being Caucasian, could not be accurately described by the racist disposition of the N-word, a fact which you naively contradicted in stating that "they're blatantly using that word in a pejorative manner against that specific race."
Stating that readers should, and I quote, "have to believe" certain personal beliefs in your blog are "somewhat true," your subsequent declaration that your blog is "NEVER to be taken seriously" is contradictory.

See, chick, just like you're in a position to exploit offensive terms so freely in your blog, I am in a position to call you "chick" or whatever I damn well please. "Chick" is a synonym of "girl" and "woman"; seeing as how you are female and all, it's quite the fitting moniker. Now, if I had called you "bitch" or "cunt", terms that can be construed as undeniably derogatory, then I could understand how you could feel slighted.
If you're going to use the internet, I suggest that you adjust your vocabulary accordingly, specifically concerning the terms by which you choose to be offended. (I'd just like to clarify that the manner in which I use "chick" is never derogatory. Moreover, I don't beat around the bush if I feel it necessary to insult someone.)
By the way, happy birthday.

Blah!
