Oddbean new post about login | logout Can I say the N word if I identify as a black person?
Eminem did that years ago
He would get cancelled nowadays
Only if you’re a lesbian too
😂😂😂😂
New EU regs I’m afraid 😂
Ninja please
You CAN say it because of free speech just like anything else you want to say. But just like anything else, time and place, and consequences for not minding time and place. In the car by yourself with a hip hop song on... Sing along. In the car by yourself with the windows down and a vehicle full of black guys next to you.. You can, but should you?
Agreed. Not saying I want to do it It’s just to make the woke nonsense clear Vocally offending people shouldn’t be a crime
I don't think it is. However, business owners get to set rules for their work environment. If they want ethnic people comfortable working or patronizing they don't need their workers all loosey goosey with language. Everyone understands this since kindergarten. Stop the political speak and talk to each other. That's what people are afraid of. Talk to different people. Make mistakes. Learn from them. Adapt to situation and circumstance. I use Italian slang with my Italian friends, I use Vietnamese slang with my Vietnamese friends, and I call my long-time homies my niggas. But unlike in the 70s-90s, I am mindful to not do it around young Blacks and not in mixed company. Not hard at all.
Very true what you’re saying here Problem is that it’s often not the people in question that are angry about you using certain words. It’s the high privileged woke leftist people who suddenly thinks everyone is offended by everything and you cannot say anything anymore
How relevant is this for Europeans anyway? The only use case for the word is karaoke.
Why would this woke nonsense not be relevant in Europe?
Because that word is cultural for North America. It would mean something else in Europe. Do you think black Europeans use that word in the same way Americans do?
If you'd have an anti woke epiphany in the US and go use that word because of freedom of speech you will likely end up in the hospital. If you do the same thing in Europe your punishment would be to be ridiculed and ignored.
Haha yeah you’re right about that
" If you do the same thing in Europe your punishment would be to be ridiculed and ignored." Wrong; #cybertorture
Don’t know I still hear the word a lot in Europe just as an expression of somebody who’s black. But apparently that’s inappropriate
I do it every day https://m.primal.net/ITnZ.jpg
