      I literally never say it around anyone and I don’t have a hard time with it. If I can do it so can he. I say it to myself and when I sing songs though, he can do the same. And I’m black

      Tell him to explain exactly why he needs to say the N word. I wanna hear the reasoning.

    3. I’m not an advocate for violence at all but someone just needs to slap the shit out of these dudes one time for saying it and I swear the urge will be gone immediately. This comes from your environment allowing that goofball behavior.

    4. As long as he don’t mind being the Catcher of Hands every time he opens his mouth, then so be it…  🤜🏿💥Consequences await!💥🤛🏽

    5. The most important point, of course:

      Who the fuck is this guy, and why does he have sparkle lights on the walls?

    6. I don’t understand why so many non-black people want to say that word so badly. I have zero desire to say it and I cringe whenever I hear a fellow Latino say it.

      Feels so easy to not say it and I’m black lol I’m glad these people get found and called out like this.

      This is why I say we shouldn’t say it around other people. It’s my biggest pet peeve. You can’t claim to be offended by others saying it and then bombard them with nothing but that word.

    9. I always subscribed to the policy that if you’re not at risk of being called the hard R, you can’t say the soft A.

    10. I’m black and don’t use the word. I’m from the West Indies, and we didn’t use that word back then. It was imported with hip-hop music. I also grew up in countries where I was part of the majority, so it would’ve been very strange to call each other slurs, without any outside influences.

      I’ve used the word. Mostly from song lyrics. Occasionally with a friend to make a more emphatic point. But that’s more me adopting black American vernacular.

      If I can be honest, I never understood why black Americans chose to repurpose the word, rather than absolutely burying anyone that dared to use it. It enables people to use it IMO. When we use it so frivolously, it’s not softening the blow of hearing it from a racist. It’s not been neutralized or weakened. It just creates a situation where white kids hear it and want to say it like any other swear word.

      I don’t see the same thirst for Latin or Asian slurs. By the same token, I don’t see Asians or latin people using any version of a slur with each other. Does correlation mean causation here? I don’t know. But as a non-black American black man, I’ve never been comfortable with the word. A or R, it don’t matter to me. There’s something deeply wrong with it.

      As someone who never experienced racism until I came to America, it’s always been strange to see the community’s comfort level with what is still the same slur, just with a different spelling. I don’t think I’ll ever wrap my head around it.

      I grew up around people who would swear and I never felt the itch to repeat those words
