Current Events > Do you believe the N-word is only okay for certain people to say?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Everybody should be allowed to say it. Should they though, is another question but should not be dependant on race

I say it all the time.

I've also had Hispanic, Asian and white guys around me that's said it and that was just the relationship we had.

I wouldn't expect a random white guy to come up to me saying it.

Im also Hispanic. I said it as a teenager, but once I hit my 20s, I realized how try hard and ignorant it looked, so I stopped. Luckily, I came to the conclusion myself before I got embarrassingly schooled in front of others. Think about any 30 year old who uses it and isn't black....is that who you want to be? lol. I'd honestly want to see one example that is actually someone to look up to. Cause they're usually all rich trash or poor trash. The people who actually had to earn their money by associating with others usually come to the conclusion that it's just not worth it. Financially and hopefully they realize it morally too. You and your friends can do whatever, but if you got to hide it from the public, it probably has some overall effect subconsciously. I know I don't respect myself for shit I feel I gotta do behind everyone's back.

Its either everyone, or no one. Thats true equality.

Damn look at those votes for anyone can say it, yikes

---

Anyone can say it.
No one is exempt from the reactions that follow lol.

---

Nobody should tbh but I'm not about to take up that fight.

---

Yes. Only myself and black people should say it.

---

Anyone is free to say it, but depending on who hears you say it you might get your ass kicked for it.

I grew up where the n-word was fairly common among black folks AND other PoC who are basically friend with them so I didn't know there were many people who were upset that hispanics and asians were also using it. Personally, I don't really care if another minority also say it. But it's best to default to not using it in general unless it's with a friend who personally don't mind. But there are very few who would actually request that

Nobody ahould really be saying it

I get the "reclaiming the word" thing but like...what would be required for that and is it even remotely feasible?

In a way, the word is already "reclaimed" by black people so... yeah.

Im black and honestly the older I get the less I use the word. It just sounds so...ignorant

At this point I really only use it if Im singing along to a song and thats pretty rare.

Go ahead. Just remember that actions have reactions. Don't start crying when you get checked.

I've already said that, see above.

I'm 27 and I'm tired of the word too. It needs to be deleted

Following suit with other poster the older I get the less I say it. People don't seem to get that it's a cuss word and it's not a word that's used around the dinner table or in front of your mother.

I also don't want to give people the impression because I say it they can say it, so I hardly if ever use it.
