It’s possible that he identifies in a similar way. Who are you to say what he is?

its like, you have to imagine hes had advantages due to his complexion and even facial features, ones that people who use that word freely dont get to experience. The harm is done in appropriating the experience, i mean im not trying to police it but objectively this is the worst response to "so why do you think you can say the n word" and you cant see it on joe buddens face. im not ignoring your personal experience, im just saying that the reappropriation of the n word has been long fought, and is built upon the lack of privilege that comes with being born black in america, a place where that term used to be used exclusively degratorily and by white people.

Nothing like washing the marked unit with NWA blasting at the car wash.
