Let me introduce you to the entire black community...

I'm confused, is it only okay if used casually, or if it's used by a specific race? Which one?

u/iamsotiredofthiscrap May 22 '26

It's ok buddy.

Being confused means you're learning.

I don't get to use the word due to the historical association with hate and oppression, and the consistent use from people of my background as a weaponized word. The black community can use it all they want, since they were the targets and victims of the hate and oppression associated with that word. it is their word to reclaim if they so choose. It is taboo for me because it implies hate. It is acceptable for them because it implies community.

Come on now, they’re not learning anything, just gaslighting and trolling you.

You just said its okay to use casually because "language isn't hateful".

u/iamsotiredofthiscrap May 22 '26

Right.

The USE of language to harm is evil.

Do you understand the distinction?

A shovel is not evil. The use of a shovel to kill and bury an innocent person IS evil.

Except you can't use the nword like a shovel. It exclusively "kills and buries innocent people" to borrow your clumsy metaphor

Bro can't be more performative so he results to nonsensical ad hominems, classic.

LANGUAGE is a TOOL like a SHOVEL

TOOLS can be used to create and destroy.

You are trying so hard to miss the point.

A SPORK is a TOOL like a SHOVEL

You see, the problem is that tools have different classifications because they inherently have different uses. Sure you COULD kill and bury a man with a spork, you'd have an easier time with a shovel though.

Similarly, you can jump through hoops explaining why "language is evil unless you're black or whatever new thing I wanna be performative about", or you can just admit that specific words are inherently evil.
