Sorry, but we don't do deferential epistemology. The complete erasure of the term as some sort of historic cuss word does not undo the horrors of *colonialism* and the alternatives suggested are so inadequate they are literally embarrassing.

It's an educational show, not a convent. We aren't interested in spiritual purity. The whole English language is shot through with racism because the national project was racist. We teach this reality in its common tongue and make no shortcuts or apologies.

if you were doing a podcast on early America would you use the n word? albeit it’s a more deliberate racist term, but it was in common use. does that make it okay to use even though there’s no “alternative”?

I'm sure Black America loves the equivalence of that term with an awkward classification for a 9th century culture of South England.

"these people" okay we're not a club, but we are historians trying to inform and you and your friend have just dismissed our work, research, alternatives, etc and have refused to engage while you hide behind BLM and Gramsci as if that means you can't be wrong about this.
