Define “can’t.” You can. But you’ll be saying a racial slur and being an asshole.

A not-hypothetical explanation: My brother has a nickname for me. He is the only person allowed to call me that name. I might tolerate other people in my family calling me that name, but no one outside my family. It is an insult from…

Just don’t say it. 

Yaaasssss. Let them all come into the light and show themselves.

You know that you just checked all the marks she said you would:

Ummmm yeah. It means don’t say it. I’m a white man, and I love hip hop too. Does not give me a license to say the word.

*Taking names*

Are you absolutely serious? Even the rappers themselves censor themselves when performing the songs in certain situations. Neither NWA nor Wu-Tang have a song that consists solely of the word “n**ga,” and if they did, you don’t need to sing it. You aren’t in an NWA cover group, are you? Miss me with this BS. If you…

why would a white person want to use a word that in their mouth carries so much stigma and hate?

You know how many rap lyrics, esp back in the day, were laced with homophobia? I bopped to the songs, but I still didn’t say the f-word.

It’s true.

You’re ridiculous with your “it’s just a song” BS.

I thought it would just be those in the greys that would be all up in their feelings, but damn. Everyone showing themselves today.

This man is incredibly articulate, why would a white person want to use a word that in their mouth carries so much stigma and hate? We as white people are not allowed to say that word, end of story. Get over it.

I now consider this video to be The Explanation. Fellow White Folks: if you want to say the N-word, even if it’s just “to quote a song,” please give enough of a damn to watch this video from beginning to end. And then rethink your ability to simply...stop singing...when you get to that lyric.

Why are you demanding censorship and how a community THAT YOU DON’T BELONG TO speaks rather than not saying one fucking word?

I can’t with these pro-censorship, hipster racism comments.

It’s not that they are unaware or uneducated. They don’t give a fuck. That’s who they are.

I have seen many comment threads devolve on here when someone said the word “Bitch.”

This was very good. Thank you for linking it

How did I know someone was gonna come at me with the ol’ “I love NWA so it’s cool” comment?
