Sep 21, 2017 does you rapping it at a concert one time make you a through-and-through racist? probably not, no. but it's a racist thing to do, even on a minor level, so why do it?
Sep 21, 2017 you're overthinking it. it's a racist word when used by white people. it just is. this isn't really up for debate.
Sep 21, 2017 Not condoning the use of the word by any means; but for a start when you’re at a concert and everyone is singing/rapping, in that atmosphere you’re probably gonna end up rapping the whole thing, esp. if you’re a young white girl - like mentioned in the article - who’s naïve to the derogatory roots of the word That context is a different argument to those who knowingly say it in an offensive way, knowing the roots of the word etc
Sep 21, 2017 sure. but if you hear that from an artist and go "oh s--- i'm gonna say it now," i question you as a person lol
Sep 21, 2017 tbh everybody drunk at concerts except f---in journalists nerds with pocket protectors and music is too loud for anyone to hear u anyway
Sep 21, 2017 That doesn’t make it okay though tbf If someone told me I could say the word, that wouldn’t make me want to use it
Sep 21, 2017 lmao, i mean, who are these people--western, white people--who enjoy rap music enough to know the words and attend concerts, but.........................aren't aware that this is a racist word? i don't really give a f--- about them lol
Sep 21, 2017 basically this, lol. like, no one is in here making the argument that working-class white people pay direct reparations. it's literally "maybe don't use the one word we've all agreed is a horrible racial epithet," and some of y'all are jumping through hoops to go "well, what if...."
Sep 21, 2017 just was giving all parameters if a tree falls in the forest and nobody around to hear does it make a sound
Sep 21, 2017 But its not a racist word when used by white people, its a racist word when used by white people in an offensive way.
