      A n*gger is a race neutral term nowadays

      no. no it’s not. people know its origins and who it’s referring to. to deny this is a form of sealioning. fuck off with that

      It essentially means someone that takes far more than they will ever contribute, and in that respect, he’s absolutely correct

      attaching this meaning to it is a form of dog whistle to get people to associate these traits with Black people. you are doing the propaganda work of white supremacy right now.

        supremaCISM

        “White supremacy” is what they think is the case. “White supremacism” is what they practice by thinking it.

        Sorry for pedantry but this is one of those things that drives me nuts, similar to “my grandpa is on Facebook with all his conspiracies”. NO. A conspiracy is real. A conspiracy THEORY is when a bunch of idiots think there’s a conspiracy.

          Epstein cover up: Conspiracy - there’s a coordinated and documented effort to stop the information from being revealed to the public

          Moon landing doubt: Conspiracy Theory - there’s no evidence of a coordinated suppression of information

          Mine is the word entitlement vs false sense of entitlement.

          Me: “You are entitled to your social security money.”

          Other guy: “I’m not fucking entitled, that money is mine and I want it back.”

          Lol

        Dunno, I once got told that you can use the word if you’re black, LOL =\

        And if I’d use it to address a bunch of friends whose ancestors weren’t slaves and who are not black, I think this wouldn’t be an insult. If there’s a black person nearby, I won’t risk it having a different effect though.

          Using that word in the way you describe makes you racist and a white supremacist. There are many other words you can call your “friends.”

            No it doesn’t. People have all kinds of perceptions of words. Get used to it, nobody is going to follow your whim.

      I don’t know what racist town you’re from, but that is not reality no matter how much racists wish it was. As for a name for people who take more than anyone could ever deserve, we simply call them billionaires.

      Woof, you realize that the episode of South Park you morons use to justify this “change in meaning” was satire, and was not meant to be a guide for how to use cognitive dissonance to change words’ meanings to your own liking.

      Lmao this chode is really over here trying to ignore all of the cultural context and redefine the n-word, to be able to use it without getting punched in the mouth.
