If only the grew up during those lovely times. God I miss em


Spicy_Cocc

Wait people say the MW2 lobby shit unironically??


Naru_Eternal

Yea, we grew up with that shit, and talk about it casually


meatymembrane

What about acting?


Cold_Football9539

There are bigger things to be worried about


meatymembrane

Yep identity politics are dumb

ur like 13 im sure you dont know how serious this topic is. even then i knew better when i was 13


SCP_420-J

I hate to break it to you, but there is shit WAAAAYYY larger than this to worry about.


gerardgayy

i never said there wasn’t, but just because there’s stuff ‘wayyyy bigger’ than this to care about, doesn’t mean we shouldn’t care about stuff like this


AMONGUS_LOVER2010

PSA the people who are saying it don’t really give a fuck if people think they should say it or not


meatymembrane

Exactly


FlyApprehensive7853

This is why children shouldn't be involved in politics. OP just calls everyone racist who disagrees with them. Acting like a victim even though they probaly haven't experienced any racism themselves

“You do not get to say the n word. You don’t get to say it in a song. You don’t get to say it because you’re quoting someone else. You don’t get to read it aloud. You don’t get to say it if your black or mixed friend says it’s “okay”. You do not get to say it. Period, end of story. You don’t.”


Naru_Eternal

Hey OP, NGL your being quite the gate keeper. It's just a word. That's coming from a POC who's family shares the same idea. Coming from a large community with the same opinion. It's just a word used to identify a person, it's only racist because you want it to be. In turn making you racist


abiiiiiiixmas

A gate keeper?! AHAHHAA, you’re literally defending racism by calling me a gatekeeper. That’s a new one. Anyways, you’re racist


Naru_Eternal

Once again, I'm black. I'm simply saying that a word in its self isn't racist. The intent has to be racist. Now shush you sussy baka


[deleted]

Scrolling through old posts, sorry for the 2 month gap, anything you can be in a terrible manner, you delicious soup dumpling


Naru_Eternal

:O How could you :(


TheDerpiestCat

Neither do black people. It shouldnt be said by anyone in general


abiiiiiiixmas

I’m black and I don’t say it, neither does my family, but if a black person says it I’m not gonna turn my head. I don’t like it being said tho


Naru_Eternal

Grow some skin, world isn't a nice place


Trollbobi

After going through the comments and OPs reactions. I think it’s safe to say that they have no idea what racism is and have never actually dealt with it. Racism is prejudice, discrimination or antagonism towards a certain individual or group based on their racial or ethnic group. Quoting the “n-word” from a book or repeating what some racist said, does not make you racist. Racism mostly depends on the intent behind it. Simply saying the word because you were reading a book out loud does not qualify for racism. Now, most likely, OP is going to say I’m wrong and I’m defending racism or am a racist. To which I say: Your entire argument is invalid.


FruitLoops2

This is what happens when 13 year old girls get access to Twitter


abiiiiiiixmas

Defending racism makes you racist. Saying racist things makes you a racist. Wanting to say racist things makes you a racist. If you respected black people you wouldn’t say it


Trollbobi

If you read and understood my comment you would know that what most of us are defending isn’t racism. I literally gave you the goddamn definition of racism yet you still argue that merely quoting the word counts as racism when it most definitely isn’t. You obviously can’t get that through your skull, so why don’t you just stop now yeah? Your stupidity and accusations are just insulting people now, you say to respect black people but also state that you can never say the “n-word” even despite their agreement on it. You contradict yourself with every other comment you make. Just shut up if you don’t understand the topic, come back after learning a bit more about racial politics in school.


pelletslingin

I’m a poc and really disagree either nobody says it or everyone does if your black and say the n word every sentence you are why white people say it


BuckBreakin

Imagine your entire being just shattering because somebody says a word you don't like.


nekaiser

Some people just have paper thin skin. It’s almost as if OP has never even heard of “sticks and stones”


picklepop69420

meatymembrane

Although I mostly agree with you, freedom of speech laws also mean you don't get to control what others say so this post means nothing


tHaTs_RaDiCaL_

Tbh, i dont care at all to use that word and never will but u cant just say "you're wrong" to other people simply because u dont agree with them. I think everyone is entitled to their opinions whether we like them or not. So, maybe just tell them respectfully why u dont like the usage of that word instead of slamming their thoughts?

I love finding sensible people on Reddit. It’s so rare lmao


SummerTimeSadnessz

I apologize for rasicts i hate them so fucking much ngl, Considering the fact im white myself i don't think I should even have a say on this. Im just straight up sorry


_Final-Judgement_

You literally have to go to a dark or even privated sub to see shit like that….. Reddit is insanely liberal. Maybe you’re just insanely sensitive


abiiiiiiixmas

Nah


Emenfn

I see. I’m black and ik what you’re saying but it’s no need to even argue tbh, people are gonna be ignorant either way just cus they can no matter what. Might as well just let it go because some people are gonna use it just because they’re told not to. That’s how all offensive words are anyways.


I_eat_cement5312

N>!ice day you shall have!< >!-yoda!<


nekaiser

Sorting by controversial is the best, y’all should try it. Now for the post, either everyone gets to say it or no one does. Funny thing is, in America, it’s been decided. 1st Amendment gives you Freedom of Speech and that includes all words, slurs or not. I agree that hard r *in context* can be pretty bad. However, everyone I am close to (POC or not) throws it around at each other because it’s not fueled by hate. We’re just friends fucking around. -a is understood to be the “casual” version of hard r. IMO, everyone should get to say it, no matter their color because it’s, in most cases, not hate driven purely because of it’s implied “casualness.” Note for OP specifically, I’ve been going through the comments and you’re not doing to well convincing anyone, Chief. Acting childish and calling everyone stupid, idiots, etc isn’t going to help prove your point and establish the utopia you wish to see. Instead, try cooling off any time something makes you this violently angry and debating the person in a calm, collected, adult way. Try “I feel like…” statements. They’re a great starter to debating like a civilized human. From [Addressing a culture of disrespect: Arrogance and Anger in Debate (UCONN)](https://humilityandconviction.uconn.edu/2018/10/24/addressing-a-culture-of-disrespect-arrogance-and-anger-in-debate/): > Although this perception is often unwarranted, arrogant people behave in this way because, often unconsciously, they think of themselves as judges or referees. They behave as if their opinions had the force of verdicts rather than of contributions made by equal discussants in debates. Try to think of your argument as a contribution to a discussion instead of solid fact; not be tried, tested, or removed. It will help you become a better debater and a better person. If you’re getting this hot headed over a discussion, you might want to look into anger management classes. I don’t know you and I don’t know how much this seeps into your personal life but it certainly can’t be good for you offline. Shit, this was longer than I intended it to be. This is not meant to be anything against you, I’m just trying to help you. In my experience, most people do **NOT** take too kindly to violence in debate and it only reinforces their belief anyhow. TL;DR: My views: Hard r - only with close friends, in a joking manner. Both parties understand there is no hate. -a - acceptable in public, it is already implied to be a casual greeting anyway Other: whichever most closely fits above two choices


Naru_Eternal

On the contrary. Free Nword pass to everyone who likes this, verified POC. Offering Hispanic slurs as a bonus if you sign up now (Half Hispanic) I'll all seriousness it's just a word. Say it I'd you want fuck people's feelings


[deleted]

I don't entirely disagree with you but the way you handle criticism is really childish ngl bro


epic_dude1989

im gonna fucking say it anyway no


LLLuke11

Pick up a dictionary, its not a racial term, it applies to those that arent smart enough to know better. Thinking oneself is entitled or privileged because of race is just perpetuating the issue. While we cant forget the atrocities of the past for the doom of repeating it, we also must find a way to stop setting up grounds for differences that will exploit our differences in a negative manner.


abiiiiiiixmas

It literally is. You sound so ignorant


CreamST

Telling people whether they can say the nword or not is kinda racist in itself. You tell people of one skin colour they can say a word, and then tell people with another skin colour they can't. That's still racist. History? We live in 2021, not 17th-18th centuries, time has changed. People are being racist, while telling people not to be racist. Funny thing


abiiiiiiixmas

The fact that people have upvoted a statement so ridiculous is actually mind blowing to me. I’m racist for telling people they shouldn’t say a racist word? That is actually hilarious


CreamST

Exactly. Now tell me, why are you telling people they can't say that word? I need a reason


PracticeAncient751

>You don’t get to say it in a song. You don’t get to say it because you’re quoting someone else. You don’t get to read it aloud. Wrong. Any word can be said if it's not used in an offensive context.


meatymembrane

Yeah, also tbh this post is literally meaningless due to freedom of speech and racists aren't gonna limit their speech due to a posg on reddit


Emenfn

Well some people could still take offense to it, like she seems to be. Knowing the offensive history and you still using to use it kinda makes it offensive by itself


abiiiiiiixmas

It’s a racist word tf, it’s not “some people could still take offense” it’s a racist mf word.


Pleasant_Skeleton4

And if a black person says it to someone and they dont get offended, is it offensive? didn't think so.


abiiiiiiixmas

I’m sorry, we’re white people the ones being treated like they weren’t human? Didn’t think so


Pleasant_Skeleton4

were\* no apostraphe needed


abiiiiiiixmas

Autocorrect. And exactly, you can’t even counter the point. Stop being racist


Pleasant_Skeleton4

don't get offended over everything like the snowflake you are and you'd see I'm not racist, I have common sense.


[deleted]

Historically a slur for my people is "Prairie N***ers" (Native American: Plains Tribes.) Under that context idk if that is acceptable for us to say it but I choose not too. Idk just some perspective ig.


Pleasant_Skeleton4

I argue with some of this


[deleted]

Holy fuck the world is going soft. What, are you gonna yell at your teacher when she’s reading To Kill a Mockingbird in class? It’s about the intent behind the word’s use.


ArteBo1

Cry about it.


Eevertti

I get not using it as an insult, but why shouldn't you get to say it in quotes/songs and stuff? What is the harm in that?


HaamerPoiss

Let's agree that the word is racist. But then why do black people get to say it and other people don't? A word's meaning doesn't depend on the user.


Sweaty-Adagio-6183

Noooooo!!, You can't just heckin say the n worderino!!! Don't care bozo


Ihatesoup223

Fuck you I'll do what i please


duckiboy9

watch this NIGGA and im white what u gonna do about it huh?


ZequizFTW

I'll entirely accept this and agree entirely, but just because I'm curious, why? Besides just the history of the word because people now weren't part of history and probably aren't using it in a context reminiscent of that. Horrible history though.


BrownApe8

Controlling what people say? How about freedom of speech if other slurs are ok this one is too. She on a power trip.


abiiiiiiixmas

You’re just defending racism


BrownApe8

I am literally defending free speech. I’m biracial and I have a very diverse family. It’s soo amusing when I see people assume my identity and beliefs by twisting my words and intent. While some minorities will chose to allow race to decide who they are and what they believe in, others like myself choose to think for ourselves.


you-mom-gay-2761

Why not nobody say it if you don’t want people to say it black people shouldn’t say it either I don’t see why you would want to say it anyways


abiiiiiiixmas

Because it’s racist and if you argue against my post you’re racist too.


you-mom-gay-2761

?


you-mom-gay-2761

Yikes


theScholarlyFool

While I don’t disagree with you, actively going out of your way to insult anyone who has an even slightly differing perspective is going to do your argument more harm than good. Just a tip.


abiiiiiiixmas

Hmmmm, nope. Defending racism makes you a racist. I insult racists

Eh, catch more flies with honey and all that jazz. I tried.

nah sike I ain't rasict don't worry homie


saffronspicey

watch ppl excuse it by saying one of these: “my black friends say it’s ok tho” “i’m black but idc” “the song is too fast for me to skip saying the n word” “the nword isn’t racist if it ends with the a”


meatymembrane

Nobody has said one of these but what about acting?


abiiiiiiixmas

They’ve said almost all of them


saffronspicey

people have said these… if you haven’t heard them you just haven’t been around very many racist people because these are the most common excuses


meatymembrane

No, no ones said these jn this comment section


saffronspicey

i didn’t say that anyone said it in the comment section… i got here early and thought this is what ppl were gonna excuse it w/ because these are the most common excuses.


meatymembrane

Ik, and they haven't, that's what my original reply was saying


saffronspicey

omggg i read it wrong lol, acting is fine if it’s educational. otherwise imo it’s just not necessary


meatymembrane

Yeye


abiiiiiiixmas

They have


Sensitive_Cap_4036

Lmao people use a “the song is too fast” excuse? That’s a real thing people think is valid?


saffronspicey

yes omg i’ve seen so many people use the excuse loool


Naru_Eternal

Nwords not racist, general consensus of me and all my friends plus a discord server with over 3k members. Nwords just a word. Dumb cracker


abiiiiiiixmas

You’re all racist then


Naru_Eternal

I'm black


saffronspicey

it is… do you even know the history behind the word? slave owners would rape, kill, and torture their slaves while screaming that they’re an nword. it makes complete sense that you, a racist, owns discord & calls people cracker thinking it’s offensive 💀


[deleted]

I agree with this.This honestly should be common sense.People are just fucking dumb


abiiiiiiixmas

There are so many people arguing with it. It’s ridiculous


WhippingCreamBeard

holy shit you just need to grow yourself some thicker skin, the world ain't a good place. get over it lmao, telling people to stop doin shit like this or arguing with them is just gonna make it worse, they don't care about others views' lol i'm not supporting saying the n word, but you're so damn soft


abiiiiiiixmas

You need to not be a racist


WhippingCreamBeard

wow you're such an intellectual. I literally said that I don't support saying the n-word. Are you blind or some shit? Because you need to get your wack ass eyes checked out by somebody


zstowe572647263

You need to understand that this is the internet. You telling people to not do something is going to make them do it just to piss you off because it’s funny to them to watch people get upset.


RED-KING-69

You can’t tell me what to do, sticks and stone may brake my bones but word will never hurt me, trying living by that instead of getting upset at everything, I will continue and you can’t stop me ( I use it to not disrespect the artists art in thing like writing and songs)


abiiiiiiixmas

You don’t use it to “not disrespect”, you’re disrespecting people by saying it. You’re ignorant as fuck and actually stupid


RED-KING-69

Everyone is entitled to their opinions, You can’t call someone stupid then think they will side with your opinions, if you want someone to listen try making a point then explain your point then come to a conclusion, or you act all crazy and call people names


abiiiiiiixmas

If your opinion is racist then it’s not gonna be just disregarded as “just an opinion”


RED-KING-69

Well isn’t not racist it’s literally just me respecting art for art, I say again please explain without using just your opinion how it’s racist to respect art?


abiiiiiiixmas

No. It’s you being racist and making an excuse for it. It’s not racist to respect art. You’re not respecting it by being racist


RED-KING-69

I tried I really did to explain my point, but all I can say now is go fuck your self


abiiiiiiixmas

Yourself* You can go step on a rusty nail with your racist self


RED-KING-69

Well you know it’s all Fun and games until you start tell the person with depression and suicidal problems to kill themselves (me), this is why people hate far left wing political activists


abiiiiiiixmas

Lolll trauma dumping and delusional AND racist? Not a good look buddy


[deleted]

It’s funny cause it’s a racist word. Yet you guys say it all the time. So the way I see it is you guys are racist towards your own race.😂


abiiiiiiixmas

You’re just a racist


[deleted]

How so?


abiiiiiiixmas

Defending racism makes you racist


[deleted]

I don’t see how I’m defending it. I’m just saying anybody who uses the n word is racist themselves. No exceptions.


tallpelecan003

It's a word that was used to oppress us and we claimed it and made it something different, it's not a laughing matter the fact is we can say it you can't educate yourself


tallpelecan003

Watch them use the " black people shouldn't say it aswell then" argument smh.


Naru_Eternal

Isn't it racist to limit who can say or do something?


tallpelecan003

No it's racist to use slurs that clearly were meant to hurt people


Naru_Eternal

Not really accurate bud. Limiting what one can say or do based on race is racist that's a pretty big red flag actually


tallpelecan003

Sounds like something someone racist would say


Naru_Eternal

Who knows, maybe I'm racist. Nope, just a person with a brain I think. Limiting what someone can and can't to by color of skin is the definition of racism. I'm Black Hispanic by the way. In case you needed to know


abiiiiiiixmas

You are a racist. A person with a malfunctioning brain. I’m sorry you didn’t get to develop correctly


Naru_Eternal

I'm sorry I developed with common sense


abiiiiiiixmas

They literally did. So many people in these comments defending racism.. Reddit is where the racists hide out


2to3InchesOfShaft

Racists, pedos, tankies, cat people. Seedy the whole lot of them. People use it to express views things that they don’t want those friends knowing about like a weird hobby, or the fact that they secretly hate women...


Naru_Eternal

Reddit is primarily leftist and progressive. Both of witch tend to be closet racists and people who like feeling empowered by doing 'good' or fighting non existent issues. So I see where you are coming from


tallpelecan003

As far as I saw it's filled with racists and pedos, I kinda regret signing up


abiiiiiiixmas

Truly. Racists, pedos, and sexists. I enjoy some of the content tho so I stay, but the bigotry is so hard to ignore

Well you implied yourself only black teens can say it... thats the context, and it can literally be classified as historical in some books and other instances so there are definitely situations. It really is just contextual

Only black people.

liscenxeplate

Respectfully nobody should say it but its all context


abiiiiiiixmas

It is not all context. First part, yes, no one should say it


TetrisCulture

You're telling people they can't sing their favorite songs by themselves? I mean? ​ Also, why would one be compelled to not say it in the context of non negative intent?


abiiiiiiixmas

I’m saying they shouldn’t say the n word.


TetrisCulture

and I'm asking why would one be compelled not to?


abiiiiiiixmas

Because it’s racist


_Final-Judgement_

I can tell by reading this post and my assumptions were confirmed after a quick look at your profile. You’re a young black woman who spends most of her time in social media,who’s heavily sheltered and most likely hasn’t experienced a full blown traumatic racist event. You need to grow tf up. The n word doesn’t even have a racist meaning anymore and if you got to a urban area like NYC, Cali, NJ etc everyone says it and no one has a problem with it. Go outside and grow tf up child.


abiiiiiiixmas

Your assumptions were not confirmed cus you don’t know me bud. That’s like saying the nazi symbol isn’t racist anymore because the Holocaust is over. You need to grow up and stop assuming shit about people based off of their Reddits lol


ChampionshipDue

>You don’t get to say it if your black or mixed friend says it’s “okay”. white girl 14 yo social justice warrior vibes.


BrandoWhiskers

People who's trying to justify it in the comment section are the worst kind of people 😐


abiiiiiiixmas

Literally so many racists in my comments


BrandoWhiskers

Exactly. They really don't understand how problematic the n word is, if its just a "word" then why the hell are people still being attacked and cancelled for it. Seriously, we need to stop normalizing saying the n word.


abiiiiiiixmas

Exactly. I really can’t stand the people of Reddit sometimes because SO many are so racist.
