I think we may be violently in agreement and I was making assumptions from reading only your posts in our thread vs. your comments on the thread in general. My bad. It seems we share the same sentiments regarding use of the N-word and the ramifications of it being exported worldwide. Our only difference is that you’re…

None of them work for Splinter? Weird....

It would make sense for more Millennial households to be in poverty than households of other generations, because Millennials would have far fewer years in the workforce.

I read the posts you’ve made to me. I’ll quote you — “no one should use the word”. There you go.

I did re read your very first comment, and I did originally miss your point.

Just to make sure are you saying that Nword isn’t an American issue, or that there is a really large amount of people offended by what these women did?

I sure love Danzel, but I don’t love him enough to call anyone my nigga.

As long as pop stars and celebrities are casually using the word in a non-negative context, problem not solved. People from other cultures will emulate that usage.

There are actual slave markets in Libya, that does not seem fine to me. Although what did I expect from an American in the Trump era. You guys don’t even believe in climate change.

I get it your president is Trump, and he is very American and your are very American so you think everyone would vote for him. Even me.

Assault is against the law, it isn’t a criminal offense though, and yes violence is often a very good idea. Or do you think that your country is global superpower do to how nice your people are and how smart your leaders are?

I love how your privileged first world ass thinks you know what being harmed feels like.

Everything about this is awful. Dude definitely shouldn’t be dead, but he also should’ve/could’ve taken action to decrease the likelihood that he’d end up that way. That said, once he was boxed in, I can’t imagine that he posed such a threat as to be shot at 9 times. I’m having trouble wrapping my head around the…

Says the narrow minded imperialist. You probably don’t even realize how well he represents your entire narcissistic nation.

What a perfectly American response.

Oh I understand that for a lot of people any use of that word is hurtful, and yes unfortunately I personally do not care about those particular feelings. I put them in the same category as the feelings of people who don’t want their kids to see gay people showing affection.(a very real issue where I am from) I also…

Insulting someone by calling them a slur is a negative, using that same word in a different context isn’t a negative. That is the way I see it, and while Americans disagree, fortunately your cultural imperialism hasn’t reached a point where I have to follow your norms.

You’re underestimating how many people outside of English-speaking countries learn English via songs. Back when I was learning English, one of the main advantages of knowing new words was to be able to read lyrics of our favourite songs and slowly figure out what they meant. Add a dictionary to that, and we’d…

The person who was the subject of this article clearly did not know better. They used it innocently, because music stars they liked used it and they were emulating that star. There was zero racism involved.

What’s more more transgressive -
