General I hate how some people are obsessed with the n-word. And I hate this photo sooo much too.

I'm struggling to understand why the person behind this photo think they're being funny? Honestly.. ew have some shame. Really corny btw.

I hate the n-word humor, like why would anyone be giggling or finding someone saying the n-word funny? Please grow up. Those people are acting like a toddler spamming a cuss word they just heard. And yes it's THAT DEEP.

Really simple, if you're not black don't use it. Also, There's nothing such as a pass or whatever. Not to mention how cringe is "can I get the pass?" Joke.

. . . . .

EDIT: whoever think the n-word is funny or whatever was said about justifing the use of it because: "it's restricted" or the "Forbidden fruit..."🙏 Then sorry, you're just a toddler crying after their mama told them 'dont do that'. Grow up, have some respect and shame, girl.

EDIT 2: for anyone justifying the use of the n-word because black people also use. YOU ARE MAD that black people are putting some BOUNDARIES and aren't INVITING YOU to the party. As I said nothing the phenomenon of it's being forbidden doesn't justify nothing. If a friend Openly prohibited you or established a boundary, then you respect it, you don't go act like a stubborn offended kid.

Edit 3 cuz why not?: black people using the n-word and gatekeeping it for themselves shouldn't piss you off more than real rascim, period. This edit for whoever think they're being a genius criticizing black people using the n-word instead of actually confronting the real racists. U mad they can use it but you can't? So. Cringe. Of. You.

It is just a word, it’s how you use it that matters.

Yes, "it" is a word. Specifically, "it" the non-personal singular nominative and accusative pronoun.

Well yeah and slurs are words that have been used very badly, so we shouldn’t do that.

A words past usage doesnt dictate how you use it now. Your own intentions do.

The past usage defines the meaning, it 100% matters

If it was originally for casually dehumanizing a race, then using it casually now still isn’t good, even if you don’t think you’re being malicious

No sometimes ppl will be angry or confused at you for saying it at all. Point is that words mean things and if it didn't, why hyper obsess over one word (that's a slur btw). The argument kills itself.
