Bards will sing of your boldness

if I’m correct, the only historical context that you and I (yes I’m WHITE) should contemplate is …that we (being WHITE) should never use that word in any variation….because it’s racist.

But, Mr. Blackspert, sir, you already covered this point. I (and I assume the rest of the class) agree that the slur is racist (hence it being classified as a racial slur), but my question was about whether this racist term's racism ceases...racism-ing [sic]...if a black person says it?

That seems illogical. Surely I misunderstood you

But I absolutely do not want there to be words that we've all just decided are forbidden because they're magic.

Nor do I .

I want the word to disappear because people have proper home-training and understand that the word is just ugly and useless outside of a Historical context.

Seems the intent/feeling behind the word matters more than the skin color of the person saying it.

Like, if a black man was beating the hell out of another black man while calling him the n word it'd be worse than a white person calling his best friend the n word in a friendly greeting.

And he seems...proud of this.

Fascinating.

Still feel WHITE ppl who use the N word are racist or ignorant and WHITE ppl who defend them are purposely ignorant to historical context …but if T-bird something is ok with WHITE ppl using it…that’s cool and all y’all racist can be happy

---

The general consensus of this thread is that no one should say it. Why do you pretend otherwise?

Wait…..he is Black? Lol Sorry- didn’t know - jokes on me sorry dude Still feel WHITE ppl who use the N word are racist or ignorant and WHITE ppl who defend them are purposely ignorant to historical context …but if T-bird something is ok with WHITE ppl using it…that’s cool and all y’all racist can be happy

You’re a racist

It never even occurred to him that Tbird might be black. That, in and of itself, could be construed as racist.

quote:

---

We know. You’re a racist who bases if it is okay to do or say things based on the color of the skin of the person attempting to do/say something.

---

Lol-i say WHITE ppl shouldn’t say the N word …you interpret that as me being racist ….hmm that’s a plot twist i didn’t expect today

quote:

---

The only backwards is the backward thinking that the historical context doesn’t matter anymore …and to be plain English- it’s racist for WHITE ppl to use the N word

---

This sentence is racist, but I'd be willing to bet that you don't have a clue why.
