Why are you limiting it to song? Why are you always so willfully obtuse?

I don’t know why it’s so hard for white people to understand that the word is not for them. This whole thread is mind-boggling.
So...black people should censor themselves in creating an artwork so white people don’t have to censor themselves while they sing along. Got it.
Why are you demanding censorship and how a community THAT YOU DON’T BELONG TO speaks rather than not saying one fucking word?
It’s not that they are unaware or uneducated. They don’t give a fuck. That’s who they are.
Words mean things. She is calling someone a nigga in the song. By you singing it, you are doing the same.
Oh please. Every community does this. Yet you have a problem with some black people sticking up for ourselves? You are very consistent.
Strong disagree. I believe Ta-Nehisi Coates pointed this out recently. It is really really easy to not sing along to that word. Like super easy. While black people have to constantly police what they say at the risk of being seen as angry or hostile or whatever.
How did I know someone was gonna come at me with the ol’ “I love NWA so it’s cool” comment?
“Some black people decided to take a word that white people used against them and still use against them and chose to turn it around for their own advantage BUT WHY CAN’T WHITE PEOPLE SAY IT?!”
Just don’t say it.
I’ve fucking had it up to here with all the people looking around incredulously, pretending to be stupefied that the word “Pocahontas” is now somehow off-limits. It’s not the word itself, you nitwits, and you damn well know it.
You are completely delusional. Why bother posting, just argue with yourself in the mirror. My first comment, you know, the one you replied to was my JUDGMENT on Peele not being the wokest as the OP claimed. I wasn’t ‘admitting’ I was judging him in the immediate previous comment, I have been shouting my judgment of…
No. He is not enhancing the Black community simply by being born Black. None of us are. I am not implying anything. I wrote exactly what I wanted to say and have rearranged words, elaborated, brought in in more succinctly, smacked up flipped it and rubbed it down and you do not care. No matter what I say you keep…
Eartha Kitt: Oh yes, that caused the resentment. I was married to Bill McDonald in 1960. People would say ‘Why didn’t you marry a Black man?’ I would reply “because the white girls had them!” The men I wanted to be with, Sidney Poitier, Harry Belafonte, dated predominatly white women. I’m talking about the 50s.…
Yeah, now, even the creator of “The Sunken Place” isn’t using his term correctly. Tiger isn’t golfing with Trump against his will. Tiger accepted the call and went a running to put in a few rounds with a dude who would lock up his Cablasian kids if he saw them in the streets.
Whoa, wait. I hope you’re not personally offended. I don’t believe every Black man can have any Black woman he wants. He also shouldn’t have to “suffer”a Black woman if he prefers White women. Let’s not pretend every Black man of resources is with White women because there are no Black women ‘on his level’ or ‘in his…
I’m a member of All Those. Peele is doing amazing, sweetie. As had Poitier, Belfonte, Kitt, Baker, Gates, Douglass . . . we could go on. We have a tradition of ‘woke’ folks going home to White partners, and hey, whatever. But how can you go as far as Peele is the ‘wokest brother on the planet’? He gave us a great…
Statement from Thomas Shanahan, Esq on Russell Simmons: “In my personal dealings with Mr. Simmons, he told my client she needed therapy and was crazy for coming forward with sexual abuse allegations. He did it to protect his friends who were accused and ignored a transcript wherein the abuser admitted to the conduct.…
