Use of the "N" word.

Can anyone tell me why is it OK for people of color to call each other that horrible word, but if a caucasion does it, they can lose friends?

 

[OffNSFW]

It isn't for white people to decide.

We had our chance and we kind of blew it, you know?

I will admit that I have occasionally called my mother a bitch. But if you call her that, I will come after you.

I'll just skip forward a bit. The state's right to do what?

Nigeria is a horrible country by this logic. This reflects a broader issue, where decades of students have been brainwashed into believing they are colonialists and oppressors, and that the weak are always right, even when they’re genocidal maniacs.

Racism is a serious issue, but political correctness has never been about solving it, just sweeping it under the rug. There’s no point in avoiding certain words if your actions remain actively racist.

What an original and thought provoking thread…

And no racist undertones or subtext at all…

Definitely "not" an attempt to inflame the “culture wars”…

Have you tried asking a person of color?

 

[Noitall]

Cause black people didnt enslave each other n should we use it no but it is what it is. We know it’s just how we great each other n it doesn’t have the ER at the end. When white people use it theres a negative meaning behind it. I got it plenty of fights cause of it n there’s definitely a difference in someone’s tone when they use it to be negative

yes they did

the largest seller of blacks to slavery were blacks

fuck off

Pipe down, honkey!

Actually, they were Arabs.

 

[TastySuckToy]

Talk about gross ignorance of history and facts.

 

[Justplainjeff]

Have you tried asking a person of color?

Yes, many times, without ever getting a reasonable answer. Its always "a cultural" thing.

 

[Saint_Ann]

Where did this thread get moved from?

 

[ll74]

Yes, many times, without ever getting a reasonable answer. Its always "a cultural" thing.

They obviously don't believe they owe you an explanation and that is unreasonable to you.

 

[TastySuckToy]

The words themselves aren't the problem, it's the intent and intended meaning when using them.

 

[John_von_Neumann]

OP is an idiot.

^^^
Anyone who is still asking this moronic question in 2024 already knows the answer. OP is just looking for fellow racists to hate with after being emboldened by the election results.

(And what sort of backwoods education does one have to have to spell it "caucasion"? LOL)

 

[ll74]

The question would be - which friends has the OP lost?

99% of Americans don't have a fucking clue as the origins, or history, of slavery. Yes, the institution is a blight on our past but we are not uniquely alone there.

My statement to the black community that wants to use it as a club, "Go fuck yourself."

Are you mad that "they" won't let you? Just curious - do you often want to use the word?

Have you lost friends as well?

It's cute you think that's, in any way, shape or form, validation of your position.

You're a special kind of stupid racist.

My statement to the black community that wants to use it as a club, "Go fuck yourself."

1. That statement comes from a place of privilege.

2. You wouldn't have the nuts to say that to your television when Denzel is on the screen, much less to any African American individual in person. lol

Are you a moron? Don't answer that, it was a rhetorical question.

We are in the process of stamping DEI and 'inter-sectionalism.' Good bye and good riddance. If the black community wants to put anyone on a guilt trip over slavery, fly your asses over to Africa and demand retribution from the tribes that sold your ancestors into slavery to begin with. I'd love to see the results of that attempt.

The thread is about the N word. What about not being able to use it bothers you? What does the word mean to you?

The black community seems to upset you, in general.

 

[RoryN]

We really should re-visit this one:

99% of Americans don't have a fucking clue as the origins, or history, of slavery.

What sort of antisocial, delusional, right-fringe reject does one have to be to believe this is true?

 

[RobDownSouth]

Sounds like just bunch of people here who wanna say the n word but don’t wanna be punch in the mouth for it.

The core MAGA demographic.
