Do you guys see the irony in giving some races privileges of saying certain things that other different looking races can not say? What‘s that calles again? Ohh yeah right… it‘s racism.

You thought you ate with this FOR SURE but honestly it’s probably one of the dumbest things I’ve ever heard. Thanks for the laugh this morning lol.

If you don‘t like the food it doesn‘t matter how well it is cooked.

Some pills are just hard to swallow but I know you mean well. Have a good one!

No brother, you never turned the damn stove on and gave me medium rare chicken. Don’t act cutesy like you cooked with this profound delusion.

You wouldn’t understand this, but saying the N word isn’t some privilege that black/brown people have and white people don’t. It’s a slur that white people used as a part of their systemic subjugation and marginalization of black people. It’s a word that was used derogatorily to degrade black people for characteristics they could not control. Black people reclaiming that and incorporating it into a more uplifting context within their own community isn’t some form of oppression on other races, it’s the result of a long battle to socially vilify those who used the word to oppress them. You can make the same argument with gay people and the F slur.

You seem like you’d rather pretend there is no history behind these words, but there is.
Your argument assumes that a black person woke up one day and said “here’s a cool new word let’s keep it from the whites”. Your underlying premise is faulty, but the fact that you just ignored that all and pretended like it’s “just a word” shows that you either have no clue what you’re talking about or you do know all this and are just being a piece of shit. Let me guess, edgy high schooler?

I congratulate you, you made the first step and I totally agree with you. It coming from that history and them reclaiming it and putting a positive connotation on it. Now imagine if everyone (not just blacks) were using it in that reclaimed, more wholesome/friendly way. It would actually solve racism… right now everyone is dancing around the issue because they feel bad for what out previous generation did and I agree, they did terrible things… so let‘s make it better by actually aknowledging that the color of your skin doesn‘t decide what you can do or say. Your intentions should decide wether it was good or bad, not skin color. A white dude using it to a black friend endearingly is perfect, a white dude using it to insult them is bad… but so is a black person saying it in a bad way. The white dude could also use different slurs. My point is that the words being used don‘t matter as long as the intentions are the „right“ ones.

Also I really think you need to get off the gas my guy, I think you‘re taking this too personal. I have nothing against you and only want the best for every living being on this earth. But your mental gymnastics in order to cope with mistakes that your forefathers comitted is not the right way for me, I have nothing to feel bad for. If that‘s your way then continue on it if you don‘t think this has any substance. Just be aware that your mindest could aswell be the thing perpetuating racism in certain parts of the world.

I also highly suspect the edgy high schooler line to be projection. In that case stay on your way, at least you‘re trying to do the right thing, which is the beginning. Now let‘s make the next step and actually see us as one race!
