White people,
You can not use the word! It's just that simple. Stop trying to claim EVERYTHING.
Thanks!

If you think I'm enabling him or pardoning his word choice because of his appearance, you are mistaken. I just know that there is no malicious intent behind his usage of the word so why would I waste the effort by pretending to be disgusted and calling him ignorant?

No words have meaning, ESPECIALLY racial slurs. They don't mean ****, and you shouldn't let them mean ****.
And I wasn't claiming otherwise, I'm well aware that there are African Americans who don't know anything about the oppression of their culture, because I used to lack any knowledge whatsoever on topics like police brutality, cultural appropriation, socioeconomic disadvantages, and all the things of that nature. But I've learned a lot, and I learn more each day. But one thing I will always believe is that someone else's opinion of who I am does not change my life for worse or better. And that will never be false. I'm sorry if you disagree or think I'm ignorant or wrong but I've never been proven wrong, so I will continue to stand by what I know to be true.

There is no one in this world who doesn't get hurt or offended by things that other people say especially when the hurtful words are about the way they were born, things they can't even help and you are not the exception. I don't believe that you even believe you're the exception like you're trying to put on. Words can hurt whether you'd like to acknowledge that or not and you just writing people off as only pretending to be offended shows how educated you are NOT. To acknowledge that things like police brutality exists you also need to acknowledge racism. To acknowledge racism is to acknowledge that racism is not just an act of physical violence and it never has been. The fact that racial slurs even exist is proof of that. You seem like a smart guy, stop making yourself seem otherwise for the sake of your empty argument.

I'm curious. If a white person says "wassup my ****a" to one of their white friends, trying to emulate what they see on television or film or in real life between two black people, is it really bringing the word back to its original meaning of separation, racism, black people being below etc. Like is that how it really comes across, honestly? [asking bc I've seen that a lot in this thread]
I'm not saying it's right and think white people saying it in that manor look a little desperate and cringey, but if the word is a term of endearment now, and a white kid says it as such (even though he shouldn't), do people find it really and truly offensive?

It was not smart for him to do that. But on the other side of things. The word has been part of lyrics of people like Rihanna, Nicki, Jay Z among others who have fans from Chinese to white to black people. I know it is used by the black community as empowerment these days, but the fact also artists use it, commercialsed the word to some degree and even though I don't like the word, if this continues than especially more young people might start using the word because they actually think it can be used as a "normal" word, because their favourites also used it in commercial released songs. The context, especially for younger kids these days is really missing so words as the F-word and the N-word will get used more losely. Education is the key, but I wonder if that would reach those kids/people.

Because he is ignorant. If he actually knew his history behind the word, he wouldn't be using it. Just because it doesn't mean the same thing doesn't give him a right to say it. He was never apart of the group that was oppressed, and never will be.
