re: Secretary at Ouachita Junior High text racial slur to wrong person concerning MLK Day.

The first word is spelled ..gga. The context of it being used in rap songs or basically any black person. It's a term of endearment. It's synonymous with my brother, my friend, my buddy, etc. In this definition, anyone can be your N, even people of other races. "That's a good solid dude right there, that's my N, love him to death". Another context, it can refer to basically any black male in general. Many times it may have more negative connotations. For example, a black woman may say, "I'm so tired of N, all they care about is sex".

---

Sure, sure...but then there are plenty of instances where it is most definitely NOT a term of endearment. EX. "frick that bitch arse nibba, I'mma drive by that nibbas house tonight and light all them nibbas up!"
Or not referring to black people. Ex, I have been referred to, on occasion by my friend (black guy) as a "real arse nibba". And I appreciated his sentiment.





It's All about context and intent

I do hate when black people try to pretend that a white person is being racist when they know the context they used the word in. They are being 100% hypocritical. Personally, I have no issue if you wanted to call me your N. It doesn't bother me when white people use the N word in obviously non racist contexts. It shouldn't bother anyone. Especially if they weren't being disrespectful to anyone

We are pretty much in agreement here. I really just don't care anymore and the fake outrage irks me.

Nothing of the sort.

So mandatory minimums upon conviction don’t apply in practically every state?

What is the problem? That’s perfectly acceptable amongst Crowvillians so everyone else should be accepting

Always check who you are texting...with ANYTHING




Or just don’t be a racist twat, seems like being a decent person would be a fairly easy thing to do

---

Checking who you are texting has nothing to do with being racist. It's just smart. Lest you send something you don't intend to to the wrong recipient. Like say, your mom, or your ex.

I’m asking you too. You believe either everyone can say it or no one can. That’s hogwash, and you’re giving the word more power than it deserves.

Reality.

Don't steal my line, especially when you're making it in reference to a stance maybe 5% of the US population would even consider backing

That's not reality, especially when it only plays in echo chambers

the only person who “destroyed” someone’s life was the sender of the text. It’s 100% on her and no one else. Does personal responsibility and accountability mean nothing?

should her life be destroyed bc of a word?

You chose a poor analogy for your "argument"

If I can describe the puzzle to you without an individual piece, then that piece is irrelevant.

I'll post a literal picture of an actual puzzle missing multiple pieces:



Can you make out what the puzzle is? Of course, it's the Earth.

Or, for the analogy, "the Earth" is the "larger picture" you want to argue against.

Do I need that missing piece of south Africa to explain "the Earth" to another? Of course not.

Just like we don't need this irrelevant piece you keep trying to make seem important.
