You know what I'm talking about. People say it to their friends all the time. Just throwing the word around nowadays. But then when used aggressively then it's racist? I'm so tired of the double standard and I really don't think it should be used at all.
And I'm just gonna predict all the people who THINK they're funny that are gonna say the word in this post. This is here just for you people.
if we say the n word we get potatos and meat?
thats really cool
funny*
I'm mostly taking about in real life
I couldn't care any less
I'm more offended that if a black person says it it's okay, but if someone else says it it's not
It's stupid how a slur got turned into such common language AND offensive at the same time
What even is the point??? Either everyone should be able to say it or nobody should be using it at all
I do
I indeed do
But now it's just thrown around
My question is NOT answered
Maybe because it is funny?
But no to curse people
Isn't racism excluding one race? Using your race as an excuse to use disrespectful language and saying others can't is rascim in of itself.
It's funny
Tell me how
It's shocking?
Is that why?
Maybe that word indirectly means monkey.
So it can be funny
for some people
So it's funny because it's disrespectful and dehumanizing
What a great sense of humor
"Monkey" is an animal, it can be used for joking btw.
Yea I reported the n word and hard R
Moderator said we will leave him with a warning
Like tf bro
if someone acts like a monkey
My question is why is it used so lightly today
So it's funny because...?
"Because they acts like monkey"
Simple
Why are you taking it seriously?
Alright one second with you.
Why am I taking it so seriously
Are we joking
Pretty sure other races don't go around throwing different slurs to one another
The answer to my question is not because the N word is funny
Well, some people could say that worrd towards his friends, so does it mean that they cursing their own friend?
The fact that people use the N word in other countries in such a light manner proves it's just a word now
When it's a slur
They are
For some reason it's not seen that way and seen as a joke
That's not my point
The point is that it transformed from a dehumanizing term to something you'd say to a friend
No, because they can take that word as a different meaning such as "Monkey", btw.
Simple
They shouldn't because it's literally a slur 💀
Deer guy are u
The word "Nice"?
Bruh. Yes, if the word's meaning cant be changed or cant have multiple meanings, btw.
The n word was ALWAYS a joke??
At this point, some of us use it as a synonym for bro
I do that
Alright. Where DID it originate from then?
Yeah
For real
Tuff
It's not like we have racist intent
Just don't spam it
And use when appropriate ig
The question I'm asking is how did it get this way
Where it's just another term for bro
It's a song
I think we can all handle that
Yet if you were to say it to a random black person it'd be disrespectful
I'm talking about the part of history where it was used to refer to black people in a disrespectful way
Yeah
But even with that
So why can't I use another slur
U would know when someone isn't trying to use it for a racist reason
Can I use another slur in this way
It's insane how it just switches like that
No other word can be so passive one moment but smearing the next
See I have a question
I have a question
🗣️
If someone from another race were to say the same slur and you didn't know them, wouldn't that seem a bit off
Well, it's basically based on the context. I do call my bro that sometimes, that doesn't mean I'm racist to him
Thank you, this is my point
Even if a white person would call me that, I wouldn't even be bothered
Unless he tries to point it out in a way that he is using it as not a word for bro
My point is that it's racism to NOT let other races say it but only yours
Not assuming weather or not you guys are racist or not
The context is that the same word from other races would be considered offensive
Everyone can say it
Thank you, this was my point
That should be it
And if everyone gets mad nobody should
What are they getting mad btw
It was great talking to you guys, but I really need some sleep
Is it like an insult?
I mean it's like a lower level of racism?? But you get what I mean
Lol
The fact that it's okay with your friends and not with others
I thought racism was Cleary a race thinking themselves superior to another
I don't get mad when others use it
It's much more than that
It's just another random word for me
Eh you might not but many people do
Like I don't mind the n word buuuuut someone else will
Even used with aggression I really don't care
Let's go ask them questions lol
They probably have issues that they inherited from the past 😅
I wasn't even born when the N word came out
That's a whole other conversation
Came out??? 💀
Like when it was first used
I know, that's way before now
I gotta go to bed though
Cya
Cya deer
I'll always found funny how it's only one specific word that can set some of them off
I'm happy that my country has free speech so I can freely say it
Not me
Did you even read the whole thread 💀
Yes, and I was referring to the idiots that usually go around saying that it can't be said because of your skin color or based on where you're from. I wasn't referring to you.
i see your point. i just joined this server, and i saw a couple of people saying it over and over.
Lol
Right, but if another race says it it's abhorrent. This is where I fail to understand why a word like this is being gatekept
So ifk
Idk
"🥷 this, 🥷 that, 🥷please" energy
"🥷 can I borrow a fry?" the hell do you mean borrow a fry? 🥷 is you gonna give it back?
"How is 🥷 gonna borrow a fry? Is 🥷 gonna give it back!?"
Nah I just used it against everyone, racism is bad
Usually low IQ people react bad to it
I'm not going to continue my discourse or I will get banned
Yet you use it all the time against each others
I'm really curious, why?
Like I'm being honest rn
It intrigues me
I could agree racism is a line i won't play with
Interesting
So you don't like it, but you use it all the time on each other without knowing why...
Incredible insight
So you can only say half of the word
Or like only vowels?
It's main use is racist but the same ppl who disliked it turned it into a word thrown everywhere
Damn, they nerfed you bro
Yeah, but the classic deals an extra 200% damage
Hmm...
Indeed, so ot levels the field
Not everyone
I know
So why do black people just say it to each other like a regular word??
It's just racist in of itself to EXCLUDE ANOTHER RACE from saying it
Then it shouldn't be used
It's fine if one race does it but not another. Is that not racism?
Oh alright I'll be right back
Okay I'm back
Anyone can see plain as day that it's still racism
I'm not a "little" racist
I take that as an insult
I always do my best to be the most racist person alive
It's not ok to put down other's work
Are you asking because I'm Black?
Lmao just kidding, I don't know much about it
But it's just that different people grow up in different ways, and I suppose using gang signs are a way to show your support for one thing or another
Not everyone
There is no reason to be racist
Sure if you mean unintentionally then yeah I understand, I'm sure some people have been unintentionally racist
I'm slapping my belly. This is so funny
You know what
This is an insight I HADN'T thought about
we don't do racism around here.
That's exactly what i said
glad we're on something we both can agree on
Idt we ever disagreed on anything that's my first conversation with you 😭
oh
The N word has lost it's meaning ,I think it shouldn't bother blacks anymore,If a white person should even say it in a rasict way ,then just look at the person like a joke that he is,
But as a white it would also be considerate as if your friends are okay with it but using it
some people might not like it because of the history linked to it ,but I think they shouldn't really care cus the word has lost its meaning
Just like b* tch same thing
Now literally almost every man call a woman that when they insecure so it a normal word for me
I don't mind calling myself that for fun 😅
Literally almost all girls do call themselves that too
N you think being rasict is a flex....
Cringe..... 😭
No need he has already gotten your kid sis 🌝😅
i wouldn't call anyone the N word. never ever. in fact i would never call myself one.
No, but having sarcasm is
He can't do anything to me either
So chillll....
Indeed
Tbh idk what's the meaning of that word...
No opinion allowed
I'm not asking for opinions
Ok I'll chatgpt instead
Today, “nigga” is sometimes used informally within parts of the Black community—often as a casual way to refer to a friend (similar to “bro” or “dude”). However, context matters a lot:

Even chatgpt is representing it
Doesn't mean it's good to use
Frr
He also said this : which has a long history of being used to insult and dehumanize Black people.
And it's honestly not good to use
That's what I'm trying to say
Admins should pay attention to this..
I agree
Why is "a" acceptable but hard r isnt
It's almost as if both are referring to the same word...
You'd call someone dumb but not the other
Obviously one holds more weight than the other and those are two completely different words
Calling someone a pig and then an elephant
They are both big animals but pig has a bit more weight word wise
Synonyms
If I call someone a swine it's the same
Shouldn't be using slurs in the first place. It's a slur 💀
For you bruh
I'm not even talking about feelings
I'm saying by definition it is a slur
Uh huh.
Next
Oh yeah I can't wait to go up to a group of black people and begin shouting the word
Let's see what happens
That's your opinion
Sure they are words but words invoke emotions
If you want to find justification for yelling slurs and being a racist in general go right ahead
Do words not invoke emotion
What's the point of your ragebaiting
To annoy people
With worda
If you don't have an actual argument and want to be a "funny guy" please take it somewhere else
Neither I
Judges say words all the time. They lead to action though
1 billion life sentences are just some words, I'm sure you wouldn't want to hear them though
Because words mean something
Heck I'm using words to get you to respond
Yeah, and logically if I say a slur to the appropriate race it's just a word isn't it
I'm not racist am I
They're just words
You're the one saying they are just words, no shit
I win
Loser
*just words
Slurs are often proof of systematic abuse throughout the past and present, which is why it's bad when the oppressors use them, things like racism, homophobia, misogyny, are extremely rooted in the system we live in today. If you are white you have never been oppressed for the colour of your skin, marginalized groups today (People of colour, women, Queer people etc) are still oppressed systematically so the oppressors using the slurs is an attack whether you mean it offensively or not, because those groups fought to get where they are today and they reclaimed the words once used to oppress them. And you calling black people "blacks" is kinda weird.
Lmfao
"White people have never been oppressed"
🤣 🤣
What about the millions of Balkans massacred by the Ottomans?
"for the color of your skin"
What about the millions of whites kidnapped and ensl@ved by the north african pirates and sold to half of Africa and middle east?
If you're historically ignorant it's fine, just don't blast it in our faces
That was nowhere near the level of the transatlantic sl4ve trade, and the white people ensl4ved by North Africans were because they were CHRISTIAN not because they were white
That's a blatant lie
The Arabs were far more brutal
And they had a sl@ve trade too from the Eastern side of Africa
And if you really want to play that game, who ended sl@very?
White englishmen
What the Europeans did to Africans was a whole different type of sl4very
They saw sl4ves as property
No, that was "NORMAL" sl@very, which was practiced ALL AROUND THE WORLD BY ALL RACES
Chinese had sl@ves
Africans had sl@ves
Most african nations ensl@ved nearby tribes and used to sell them to arabs or europeans
Then the Englishmen cam and decided to abolish the world's oldest practice: sl@very
Yes but it wasn't the same type of sl4very, they could work their way out of it, what the Europeans did to Africans were that they were trapped for life unless the owner decided otherwise
1 every 5 WHITE ENGLISH SAILORS d*ed to end sl@very in most parts of the known world
I donxt see whites asking compensation for that sacrifice
Should they?
After all they freed millions of sl@ves and prevented the ensl@vement of millions of others
No, all races did so, stop blatantly lying
Because y'all still don't suffer the effects for ending it, white people have systemic power, black people did not at that time, and 1 in 5 is nothing to the GEN0CIDE that was the transatlantic sl4ve trade, Africans were eaten, turned into furniture, and even certain words are rooted in it
Literally all it takes is a Google search, Europeans practised chattel sl4very, while Africans did not, Africans treated their sl4ves more humanely than the Europeans did
"Africans eaten" lmfao what the fuck are you actually saying now!?
They literally had cookbooks for Africans so let's not
Cannibalism was something that was mostly done BY AFRICANS if we want to be accurate
Yeah you're inventing things like now
Well we also had spaceships then
And giant robots too
It takes a quick Google search literally
And don't forget the aliens
Yet we are the only ones that sacrificed to stop it. So why don't we also start giving compensation to the hundreds of thousands of whites that died to stop it worldwide? Or to the millions of whites ensl@ved by the Berbers pirates and the Ottomans?
You're just the usual priviledge brat that enjoys the freedom of hating on whites WHILE LIVING AND ENJOYING THE PRIVILEDGES OF LIVING IN A WHITE COUNTRY
Hypocrite r€tard
And we're using slurs again
I'm just calling you by what you are.
Keep in mind the ottoman empire focused on religious beliefs not skin color
Yeah a slur used to degrade people with disabilities
Js say ur ableist
I have no respect for people like you that cry about past things that never affected you while living off the perks of the race you hate so much
You're right, I take it back. R€tards can't do anything about it, it's not their fault. You're just ignorant out of your own will
It aould be an insult to them to call you the same
Which at the time it was quite based on skin color too since back then most christians used to be white since they were from Europe
Lwk js say ur ableist why are you still referring to them as that
But they wanted to convert them to Islam, the main reason was religion, not race
No, they FORCED THEM RO DO SO, OR K*LLED THEM
Let's be at least honest
Yes they were killed I never said they weren't
I know but the best way to disarm someone is to be unbothered about them....
Like black communities did they change the context of the word to a vibe or trend within themselves
Any one who is racist is just a person with low iq especially if they are Christian (these ones are the dumbest)
I gave another example
"Calling women bitch....",
I used black because it consist of both Africans and afro Americans and other mixed even black Indians too....
Black is a bad word or colour so I don't see anything wrong with it
It's even one of my best colour fr... 🫴
"Especially if they are Christians"🤣 🤣
Istg hypocrites will never cease to amaze me
God I wish colonization never happened istg
Biggest error in history
Using "blacks" instead of "black people" is you taking away the human part of their identity
(Sorry I took so long)
I know it might be link to segregation....
to be even clear here
Not all blacks are black some are brown or lighter shades of brown
And whites or Europeans aren't white either as they portray it
They are also lighter shades of brown
The only difference between the two skin is one has melanin than the other
Wtf
I don't call whites,white people either....
It still applies
Black and white
Both are beautiful colours
Exactly...
Preaching love
And some prefer their dogs or pets than a human who is darker in complexion
Dumbass people
Even Jesus has lot of melanin...
Middle east
Not a white coloured dude like most portray him to be in pictures
Lmfao jesus was black sure
Jesus was from Judea, so it was a far lighter shade of "brown" that you can think
He mostly had skin color more similar to olive
I mean
It's pretty much impossible for Jesus to NOT have some type of noticable pigmentation
People of miiddle east were not all light like the ones we have you know that right....?
mix breed with European change them
🤣 🤣
All indigenous people are always darker than the present people we have now
I am not saying he is black either....
He is in between both shades
And olive is closer to brown colour that to white or peach
He was ded light skin, especially because that part of middle east had more olive like skin, thanks to the large amounts of Greeks the Macedonians had displaced during Alexander the Great. Think of Cleopatra too for example
I agree it's taking way too lightly
rlly
r we serious
nobody cares
hmm
hello
?
what do you want
ma home boy said u guys played smash bro
Do you need something?
nah nothing get out
So you're just here to be a cornball
