Poll: Are mixed people allowed to say the "n word"? - Page 5

MonsterPaw

I never used the n-word. I would never use it. Nobody should say it but I don't see the problem when black people use it tbh. Same with the f-word. It's rude and makes me feel uncomfortable around them.

In theory, yes, but if you look like a white person (Halsey) then there would be no reason to use it since you will never be discriminated for being half-black.

If they are half black, yes.

I mean, I'm mixed but I don't "look black" so I don't use it because of what I already stated and even if I am, I have no desire of using that word, it won't give me a job, it won't give me instant happiness, i won't become rich so what's the deal with non-black people and their burning desire of saying it?

Y'all will only look stupid af.

You really think it stems from a "burning desire" to say it?

They use it because many of them were raised on the music that uses it as a term of endearment. Not to mention that a lot of people grew up around black people using it, or are friends with them. It's not even a conscious thing.

Studies disagree (at least with white people)

and let's not act like white people don't go berserk when they get called out for using it, they bring out Martin Luther King Jr, reverse racism, equality, everything on the book to find a reason to use that word.

Umm what??

1) I never specified white people. I was speaking about all non-black people who use the word.

2) Even if I was, that charts is irrelevant. Why? It shows stats for the total of white people when I was speaking about non-blacks (including whites) who either grew up on hip-hop or around black people. Obviously important qualifiers not reflected in the pie graph.

3) People don't get called out for it in real life. Black people in diverse areas, which are the only area's where you'll even be exposed to hearing "others" say it, are used to it. If you got outside your all black or all white area, you'd know this. It is a fact.

Either everyone should be allowed to use it or no one should.

Girl bye.

No one should say it tbh. I don't see a reason for anyone to want to say it. What power do you get out of being able to say a word others can't? That seems... counterproductive to the whole "we're equal" argument (which I agree with).

It's just ghetto to talk that way..period. It's ridiculous and immature.

In society eyes, they're black. No one should use that word though.

Who gives a ****? It's a word. Organized syllables. It has no real meaning.
