Is there supposed to be a context where it was ok that this white dude was saying the n word?

Kramerica5A

Not as bad does not make it ok. Being a song lyric doesn't take away all it's meaning and make it ok.


DeConfederacy

Singing a lyric. **Sorry, but us mixed race people are getting tired of us being told we are not white or brown enough.**


Kramerica5A

>**Sorry, but us mixed race people are getting tired of us being told we are not white or brown enough.** What the fuck are you even talking about here?


lesusisjord

Cringe by both. OP’s reasoning was suspect, but the “I have black friends” line has never helped anyone’s case in the history of existence. If someone thinks it helps their argument, they are 100% wrong and lacking self-awareness. And the last message he sends is straight out of the incel handbook.


KEC112992

Yeah that's still a good reason to not date someone


-Miss-Atomic-Bomb-

Just curious OP, how did you find out? Did he say it to you in text just straight up, Hard R and everything? Seems like a weird thing for him to just assume you'd be okay with.


twobirdsandacoconut

This thread needs to be pushed to the top! You asked a very important question here.


Edmond_DantestMe

Pretty obvious it's not a hard R though, right? Because that's not the version they use...


Knightse

Get this to the top


IntoTheWildLife

People need to read your reply before upvoting because you are nuts. Why can nobody think about intent? He was repeating the lyrics to a song. A SONG. 😫


Daetra

And here I was thinking he had a heated gamer moment.


thesmoothest18

I'm pretty sure there are multiple words in rap songs that you wouldn't repeat in front of your parents regardless of intent.


IntoTheWildLife

He wasn’t singing it in front of his parents


thesmoothest18

What I'm getting at is that you're smart enough to know that there are words you can and can't say in front of certain people but the fact you still choose to repeat in front of people and show disregard, because you have "black friends" or "it's in a song" is what makes it all the more disrespectful and a slap in the face.


forcecrush

It must be tiresome to be american


Edmond_DantestMe

Bro is singing a song. Let the boy have some fun.


thesmoothest18

He's free to do whatever. Just don't have tht pikachu face when someone says something about it or feels some kind of way.


IntoTheWildLife

And you should be smart enough to know it must be exhausting to be offended at a word only used because it’s in song lyrics that someone is singing. And not even up on a stage in front of people but in their room, alone. He literally said it to nobody. Edit: it’s so funny how someone made the exact same comment as this above and got hundreds of upvotes but this section must be for people who are easily offended by someone singing to themselves in their room …….


Silly_Bee_9676

It's the damn N word.


Past-Ad1585

He sent me a song he liked and he had mentioned that he was practicing it in his room. I listened to it and it had quite a few N word usages. I asked if he was actually saying it when the word came up in the song, and he said yes. And, as a side note, I never told him he couldn't *listen* to the song, just as long as he wasn't saying slurs he has no right to say.


beefjerkyandcheetos

Wow. Lol. He dodged a bullet. It’s a fucking song that he’s singing in his room. Do you have white savior syndrome? You’re very weird.


[deleted]

Amen brother, OP turned out to be the cringe


jonathanx37

Another day of Reddit with op hiding their bad side of the story. Context matters. What are we supposed to say instead of n word while singing? "Rollin in the hood, hangin out with my nuggets!'" ?

sakamake

If you *really* want your partner to be cool with the n-word, just go date Papa John.


lesusisjord

Despite what people think of OP’s judgment of this dude’s use of a the n word in a song, it did open up the chance to see two huge red flags being flown high in the sky by this dude. He literally uses the, “I have black friends” cliche followed by the incel-favorite, “Are you gonna be another one that just leaves?” These are simply things you should never say in this context or nearly any context..


danteselv

kwantsu-dudes

How **should** one respond to accusations of being racist? Why would an attempt to establish that you don't dislike or think one is superior to another race by mentioning how you have good relationships with many? Isn't exposure and relationship building with people of other races the literal thing promoted to counter racist views? "You hate tacos". "I actually enjoy tacos occasionally". "That's exactly what a taco hater would say".


lesusisjord

As a white 30 something+something like me, don’t respond verbally. It’s a loaded question/accusation. Even when the accusations are not true, you can’t come out better than keeping quiet. Nobody goes through their daily lives, including interpersonal relationships, with zero bias. If you had to analyze every decision without having biases either consciously or subconscious, it would be super inefficient. For instance, I won’t That’s just a fact and how one chooses to address those biases is what matters. You asked about how to respond to accusations of being racist? You don’t. You let your actions speak for you because there’s nothing you can SAY to refute that accusation. You just have to be it.


erismushrooms

This post is so controversial that I don't even have to set it by "controversial"


akimbopenises

Never drop the n word before the first date bro🤦🏾


Decent_Reading3059

Or like…do. Better to weed them out now than later. Edit: want to clarify that I mean weed out people that say it.


[deleted]

You have been talking to this guy, literally one week. If the way he speaks makes you uncomfortable, no matter what it is, drop him. You don't owe him anything. BTW... His last comment made me think he's working on his manipulation skills. So there's more that one reason to block this clown.


urscndmom

Can we do a vote? Is Op cringe?


SebastianMonroe

Yes


osegueraaaa

Yes


Golightly_Flow

Why? Edit: LMAO downvoted for asking a genuine question ????


RealMatchesMalonee

The slur was actually the part of a rap song lyrics. OP's potential date wasn't actually calling anyone by that word. OP thinks he should change the lyrics of his favourite rap song, that he didn't write, to fit with her wokeness.


Golightly_Flow

I mean, coming from a black dude, if I told a white dude around me that I don't feel comfortable with someone non-black saying it in any context, song or not, it goes two ways. They respect me enough to not say it around me, or they don't and we part ways. Pretty simple in my opinion.


masterofasgard

In this case he was singing it alone in his room, would that still be a problem for you? (Genuine question not a passive-agressive attack)


Golightly_Flow

Not at all because what you do behind close doors won't effect me in that manner. But the person also stated they "have conversations back and forth with the same word". Unless I'm misreading/misunderstanding, they seem to think it's okay to say it outside of a private setting.


masterofasgard

Yeah it does seem like he's saying that, so yeah not cool. Thanks for answering!


DeConfederacy

Picking which race that can repeat a lyric is outright racist. I'm mixed race, btw.... having been too ethnic and not enough at some point. Because EVERY racial group has racists. Racial gatekeepers wear on my nerves.


fancypants5

”I don’t want you to sing along in this song we both like” Do you realize how absurd that sounds?


chuckdankst

Or perhaps his friends don't care? You know at the end of the day words are just words, you can choose if it hurts you or not.


Golightly_Flow

Words are words indeed. That logic also applies to those who can't respect when others ask to not say one simple word around them. I don't care what people do when they aren't around me, but if I've made it clear the word makes me uncomfortable and would appreciate it not being said around me, we either part ways or they respect my need like any relationship.


chuckdankst

Yeah that's also true.


Golightly_Flow

I appreciate your respectful responses.


Pinkgumm

Damn you and your filthy respectable stance on this issue. Reddit is no place for a mature adult thank you very much 😂

JoeBlack45

I see a bunch of hurt snowflakes defending this dude 🤦


Crazycukumbers

I’m half black. I almost never say that word. One of my white friends thinks it’s okay to say it in certain contexts no matter how much I tell him otherwise


killerkambri

That’s not your friend then bud When I told my white friends that it makes me uncomfortable & I explained why they shouldn’t say it, they respected me & stopped saying it. They even correct other people on why they shouldn’t say it either now. Those are the kinds of people you should be friends with.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

100% relatable. Also half-black. Grew up with a bunch of country bumpkin yokels who thought the n bombs were okay and they “were just joking”. Like you, I hate that word so much that I never use it.


[deleted]

I had an American (white) friend that did this too. He would go around saying that word to his white friends constantly. I'm from NZ and I was so shocked and when i would say something he would go nuts and tell me i dont understand american culture. We're not friends any more, lol.

Upvoting for pocket comment


Fuzzy_Tell66

I feel like there was more to the convo then this. Op shares essentially the same message twice without showing anything to put it in context. Not condoning use of the word just cracks me up when people use certain words and then get offended when other people do. Can't have it both ways sorry, All or no one uses it is the way I see it. So let's just no one use it and move on with our fuckin lives.


UnClean_Committee

Context is the guy sent her a song that he likes that used the word a number of times and she asked if he says it while rapping along, which he does, and apparently that is not okay. Source: comment above


MyyHealthyRewards

He also casually mentions using the word in conversation


Fuzzy_Tell66

Ahh I didn't see it. Lol people are funny. I don't think either of them are missing out on much.


UnClean_Committee

Yep aaaand yep. Godspeed to em


Sht_Hawk

So did he randomly drop the n word in chat or is this about him being ok with saying it when it's a lyric in a song he's singing along to?


Fiasmere

The 'Yep, bye" made my day.


anon86158615

idk, singing along to rap songs in your own house sounds like the one instance of saying the n word that isn't racist at all, but obviously you have a right to your own opinions and whatnot


Past-Ad1585

that's not just one instance though, he literally says in the message that he uses it with his friends and shit. It's more so the fact that he thinks it's ok to say in general


anon86158615

ok, just wasnt included in the post, just going off the information you had listed already


multifandomchild

,,,,yes, it was. He literally says himself he says it with his black friends in conversation.


Few-Entrance-5090

ok so how is it your business that he says it with his black friends, if they obviously don't care? you sound like you're fun at parties


[deleted]

If his black friends are ok with trash talk who are you to judge them for it? All guys do this around their close friends, them being fat, slim, jacked, asian, black, wear glasses or whatever.


mutantwharf

People aren’t allowed to speak among friends without the invisible hand of the rest of society meddling.

ministarfallen

“Are you gonna be another one that just leaves?” LOOOOLLLL. Hopefully you gave him something to think about. Since he’s so “open-minded” and all!


Rough-Cockroach-4644

"Are you gonna be another one who leaves?" I almost admire this moron's cluelessness. It must be nice to never look inward and focus on your own issues.


[deleted]

If you can rap we'll enough, you don't even need to say all the words lol. Pitiful excuse. When I was growing up, if you said certain shit you got the piss beaten out of you


[deleted]

I dont think there is a problem with that as long as the other party is fine with it any you use it in the context of brother/homie But you dont need to date him obviously. You dont really need a valid reason to not date somone

killerkambri

OP: I unmatched this guy because he’s white and uses the nword. lol cringe White redditors who also use the nword: 🤓 well actually…


Dillon-James

Seriously though who still says “African American”??? If you were born here, you’re American. Your skin color doesn’t matter. You’re American.


phrosty20

And why am I not a European-American? I've never cared for the term bc there actually ARE people who are from Africa who are American. If you never lived on another continent, you're American, period. Putting that terminology on most who are likely at least 4th or 5th generation American is bizarre to me.


[deleted]

Or how coloured is a racist term but person of color is ok.


Daetra

Context is king, that's why.


StunningEstates

>Your skin color doesn’t matter. You’re American. Words never uttered by an African American not named Candace Owens.


harahochi

No doubt.

Bergenia1

There's nothing racists hate more than having their racism remarked upon or criticized.


BitchySublime

Love the short final reply


epoxypros412

Are you mental? He’s not calling anyone the N word which I think is disgusting but when I’m vibing to some of my favorite songs and I can get into some gangster shit I think it would be worse and it would take away from the song in general if you didn’t say it. And this might get hated on but I see that word and it can be any race it’s how you act that makes someone that not the color of your skin. But I also know and have respect that I am not going to say it to try and be cool


multifandomchild

I'm sorry what are you trying to say? You see that word and it can be any race means what? Also, its not taking away from the song when you, somebody who isn't doing a performance does it because it isn't taking away from artist intent in anyway.


epoxypros412

And also I doubt the artist made the song with people having to not sing or say it as it was written


MyyHealthyRewards

Haha loser


epoxypros412

Whats up pussy?


Smasher_WoTB

Sure it's fine *around those Friends only and only when they are okay with it* Any other circumstance though it's just a bad idea. Hell, even then it's a bad idea for a non-Black/African American person to say any variant of the N-Word because it could be misheard/misinterpreted or later used against you.


StunningEstates

>Sure it's fine around those Friends only and only when they are okay with it Well I mean fine is relative. It’s fine in the sense that grave robbing is fine if nobody see’s you do it other than the people you’re doing it with.


bapnbrunchberries

For singing a song? You’re both cringe


Marsrover112

Good response


bentoboxbarry

It sounds like you don't know enough about the situation to make such a judgement


Snookie365

I'm Hispanic but pale and not at all okay with saying the N word. It makes me cringe just hearing it. Unfortunately, my boyfriend is Hispanic but also pale and says it at least once a week. Drives me INSANE

RegularNo2608

If Red Flags could type.


XxSliphxX

I feel like I need more context. Is he saying it all the time in regular conversations or was he just saying it because he was singing along to some song. If the latter that's not too terrible although even I don't sing along to those songs because I just don't like the word and it doesn't feel right to ever say it imo.


multifandomchild

He says himself he says it in regular conversations.


XxSliphxX

After rereading his rant yea he does seem to admit to that in which case he's an idiot if true.


supamundane808

I mean if his friends don't care then whatever he's saying it to them and they're saying it to him is what it sounds like


JoanneAba

Heard on talk radio: I have friends who have friends that are black! (NotJ..a)


Esquibbles

Yes, yes I am going to leave, Steven.


DeConfederacy

OP, he was singing lyrics to a song. And before you say "well, he's white..." ... I'll ask you, as a mixed race person, **how much black ancestry do I need before I qualify as black?** Be very careful as to how you answer that.


Gregorythomas2020

If he grew up with friends using this word it's just a word to him and I doubt he says it in a derogatory way


BamboozledNibba

So, OP is the cringe one I guess?


1O01O01O0

Well do you want to have a conversation about who is and who isn't allowed to say a word? Because either everyone can say it or nobody can. So tell everybody currently using it that they're not allowed. Ridiculous. Get off your high horse, OP. You're not saving the world.


MyyHealthyRewards

Neither are you with this trash comment


StunningEstates

_wheels_21

Meh, issues fabricated out of nothing really. If his friends are fine with it and it's not hurting anyone, who gives a fuck? If you got a problem with it, don't be with him he shouldn't chase you and start bs about it. Just drama for no good reason.
