    A n*gger is a race neutral term nowadays

    no. no it’s not. people know its origins and who it’s referring to. to deny this is a form of sealioning. fuck off with that

    It essentially means someone that takes far more than they will ever contribute, and in that respect, he’s absolutely correct

    attaching this meaning to it is a form of dog whistle to get people to associate these traits with Black people. you are doing the propaganda work of white supremacy right now.

      supremaCISM

      “White supremacy” is what they think is the case. “White supremacism” is what they practice by thinking it.

      Sorry for pedantry but this is one of those things that drives me nuts, similar to “my grandpa is on Facebook with all his conspiracies”. NO. A conspiracy is real. A conspiracy THEORY is when a bunch of idiots think there’s a conspiracy.

        Mine is the word entitlement vs false sense of entitlement.

        Me: “You are entitled to your social security money.”

        Other guy: “I’m not fucking entitled, that money is mine and I want it back.”

        Lol

        Epstein cover up: Conspiracy - there’s a coordinated and documented effort to stop the information from being revealed to the public

        Moon landing doubt: Conspiracy Theory - there’s no evidence of a coordinated suppression of information

      Dunno, I once got told that you can use the word if you’re black, LOL =\

      And if I’d use it to address a bunch of friends whose ancestors weren’t slaves and who are not black, I think this wouldn’t be an insult. If there’s a black person nearby, I won’t risk it having a different effect though.

        Using that word in the way you describe makes you racist and a white supremacist. There are many other words you can call your “friends.”

          No it doesn’t. People have all kinds of perceptions of words. Get used to it, nobody is going to follow your whim.

            It does. You can choose to use it, and I can call you a racist and white supremacist. All allowed. Natural consequences of being a racist and using racist terms is being hated by normal people and called out. Can’t handle that, maybe stop using and defending the word and use a different one, ya dumb racist coward.

              Buddy, you’re not a normal person and nothing in this conversation says I’m a racist.

              You’re an idiot.

                You desperately needing to say the n word is clearly you being racist. That you won’t say it around black people shows you know it’s wrong and that there are negative consequences for using it. You’re just too scared to deal with the consequences so you snivel and whisper it like a grade schooler cussing on the playground.

                You’re a coward about it just like the white guy in this clip: https://youtube.com/shorts/SGsXaxgMzPo
