As a black person, you know our relationship with the n-word is complex and unsettled. I don't think you are wrong for not wanting to say it, but other black people are not wrong FOR wanting to say it.

There are some black people who do not like using the n-word because of the complex history, and there are some black people who enjoy using it and feel comfortable with it. Both groups of black people are justified in using it.

No, white people shouldn't say the n-word. 9/10, there is no circumstance for why you would need to say the n-word. You don't even need to sing it in rap songs, just skip past it.

A++++++ Comment

I know, I look like a jackass arguing with you! Yet I've somehow maintained my wits and my morality in saying "white people should refrain from saying the n-word. You have no good reason to say it."

Yea so you are white privilege incarnate.

Hey, fuck off.

White people never give me any good reason for why they need to say it.

Why does it matter so much that you GET to say the n-word? Do you plan on using it?

Why do you want the right to be able say the n-word?

All I'm asking if for y'all to not say the n-word. How is that a punishment? Why is it a punishment that you can't say the n-word?

You're right, it's not banned. Say it and get slapped!

Being surrounded by idiots does make you more likely to stay stupid.

Say the n-word in front of a black person if you want to. It'll be funny to see if your career lives to tell the story or if you don't get your ass beat.

This is silly of you. If you grew up in an environment where everyone is a serial killer, you will be influenced to become one yourself because it is normalized and the dominant culture.

That was a reach. lol.

I mean this with no sarcasm, that was genuinely a relief. At least you understand that white people using the word evokes strong feelings of pain.

Eh I'm not, but thank you for your input.

And racist in america btw.

Of course other people can be bigoted and have interpersonal moments of racism. Black folks can be racist, native americans, indians, asians, et cetera.
