STOP. You're trying to build up all of these strawman scenarios.


Under no circumstances is it ok for you as a white person to refer to a black person as the n-word, even as you illustrated in your examples. You can't say I hate when people say the n-word and then use the n-word. You would sound racist and stupid.

Just say the n-word, people will know what you are talking about.

It's not difficult.

Lol maybe you should look up straw man because you’re not using it correctly. God you’re stupid.

You've never seen American History X have you? White people in that movie use that word quite often and the black actors seemed to be ok with it.

Clemson's Dabo Swinney defends response to assistant coach's use of racial slur

This is a perfect illustration of a non-racist use of the N-word.

This is no "strawman" or hypothetical situation. This actually happened.

quote:

Swinney said former tight end D.J. Greenlee and Pearman were on a separate part of the practice field when an argument happened in 2017. Greenlee told The State newspaper, "Me and the coach got into it, and I was speaking with one of my teammates. He heard me use the N-word, basically, and basically tried to correct me by saying the N-word back."

Swinney said Greenlee approached him privately to discuss what happened. According to Swinney, Pearman was "profusely apologetic."


quote:

"I would fire a coach immediately if he called a player an N-word. No questions asked," Swinney said Monday. "That did not happen. Absolutely did not happen. It has not happened. Coach Pearman was correcting D.J., and another player was talking to D.J., or D.J. was yelling at the player, and D.J. said something he probably shouldn't have said. He said, 'I blocked the wrong F'ing N-word,' and Coach Pearman thought he was saying it to him, and he's mad, and he reacted, and in correcting him, he repeated the phrase.

"And [Pearman] said, 'We don't say we blocked the wrong F'ing N-word.' And he repeated it. He shouldn't have done that. There's no excuse for even saying that. But there is a big difference. He did not call someone an N-word."


I think it's stupid the guy even apologized. He was correcting a player telling him not to say the word. He probably shouldn't have said it, but in the heat of the moment he did. That doesn't make it racist.
