Only sensible post today

:hehe:

:devil:

So what if black amaricans have taken a word that was and still is used to dehumanise them and made it their own? I personally don't use the word and am not a fan of its use but I understand why the black community has adopted it.
What I don't understand is why white people are SO thirsty to use it. If they can't handle being told they're not aloud to use one word imagine them dealing with the actual institutional racism black American go through... Lord.

I guess it's easy to say this when watching racism doesn't really affect you personally.

Although I don't want anyone thrown out

If I am singing a song and the artist says the N word I do too, it is meant with no harm at all and I just singing along.

Wait can I post that word actually? Not sure. No harm meant.

Maybe it is but I said what I said

I disagree with this.

It's kind of like me saying you can't be as offended as I can that Conor threatened to shove an epilator up Deana because you don't have a vagina but I do.

Because they can :skull: it's claming an insult back to them, just like how the gays have re-used the word queer.

I'm white and I for sure would never use it since I understand how it would be very ignorant for me to say, just like if any other white person were to say it, its pure ignorance

Even I skip over the word when rapping along to a song just because it makes me cringe it's really not that hard. I don't find people who do say it when singing along racist, thats not what I'm saying at all. I just find it funny that when a marginalised group of people are constantly tell you they're made uncomfortable by you using that word people make all these excuses to use it.

it's not the same thing so that analogy doesn't work tbf

:clap1:

I would probably self censor if in company but if I am in my room alone I say it. Not going to lie.

I do all the weird throat sounds too :laugh:

its not like that at all because my post. I was saying how its easier for him to not take the racist incidents in the house seriously because it doesn't effect him. I didn't at all suggest that you can/t be offended by the racism because you're white, that would be stupid seeing most of this thread is white.


It's more like you saying that it would be easier for men to laugh off donor's comments/not take them seriously because it doesn't effect them. I think we saw that in the way people reacted to it at the time...

That's fair enough. Sorry if I got the issue confused. You know I respect you enough to not twist your words I simply misunderstood the sentiment x

I mean theres nothing wrong with that and if it slipped out in front of me I would probably just let it go and might find it a tad funny but thats if it's a genuine slip up. I've met a few white people who'll listen to stormzy and eventually the'll start using the world freely in their vocab and its just not cute

no problem Amy

Armands Black? I thought she was Italian?

So did I until the ancestry DNA kit the girls in finance got me revealed that I'm 100% black
