The word is dropped casually in rap music. Its not fair if one person can say it and the other not.

His livelihood comes from being a public figure to a bunch of impressionable kids / young adults. If he can't act responsibly he shouldn't have the job. I'm surprised i'm even having to type this.Well, that is a rational reaction. Take away his livelihood, because he said a word.
Please tell me this is a photoshop.
I'm genuinely curious how the word cracker came to be. I assume it has something to do with "cracking the whip"?
Christ, this was a thing that happened? WTF...
At this point, I have to wonder if Americans deserve the reputation for being ignorant because if you talk to any Black person living in outside the US they'd tell you that they get called the n word or regional variants of that word because anti-blackness is a global affair.
Does the education system touch on how the US was built? That slave labor was the economic force? How they treated slaves and their decedents? I find it hard to believe that topic was never even touched on.
I feel like people are lying just to create a strawman.
Won't someone think of the poor white guy who just wants to be able to say the n word with impunity?!?
Not going to defend him but youd be surprised how often this happens in Europe especially in countries with no black people. There is literally no understanding of the context, its just a word you hear in music and movies.

Gamergate dude. Most recent idiocy was he went after a journalist for his bad Cuphead gameplay which led to a whole host of harassment.
on a related note: The pronunciation of the word doesn't really matter. Never did. Still doesn't. The word is the word. It doesn't somehow change properties depending on how its last syllable is pronounced. It's not some sort of racial language alchemy being performed.
The "a" vs. "er" split is artificial, a post-facto explanation built on the notion that "black people talk like this, and white people talk like this" is a matter of biological fact.

Idk what kind of rap you're listening to but I don't hear white guys like post Malone, Eminem, riff raff, action Bronson, etc throwing around the n word in an industry dominated by blacks.Neither of those are necessarily true. The poster you're replying to has no real interest in the more complex answer though

because the biggest interaction we had with africa was during world war 2 and they kicked our asses and made us go back to Italy really fast.
nowadays it's mainly immigrants, but they are still a way smaller minority than in the US,
basically,it's still considered a racist at worst and not politically correct term at best here too...but it wil never generate the "sounds all alarms, burn him/her at the stake" reaction that it receives in the US..so it is possible for an european,depending of course of where in europe he/she is,since europe it's a pretty big and diverse place, to use the world (or the regional equivalent) lightly, especially when you consider the fact that he/she is talking in another language, and that adds even more distance between the term and what it actually historically meant of people of color

Yeah guys. How will this multi-millionaire make ends meet if he gets fired?
I would actually contest that the pejorative aspect of the word is that well-known in European countries. The slavery association definitely was not common knowledge where I went to school in the north of the Netherlands. But even then, it still doesn't make the use of the word the way Pewdiepie does it anywhere near justifiable: his use is pejorative no matter the understanding of the full context: it was just racist.
Edit: To clarify a bit more, what I want to say is that in my experience, people from where I'm from are not at all always aware of the slavery association, and furthermore the extent to which the word is a denigrating slur is also not fully understood, at least in my generation (I'm 21 fyi), although it is often understood that the term itself refers to black people. People I've been to school with often didn't seem aware of the gravity of the term, and used it among each other (among white people to be specific) as a joking insult as well. Still a terrible case of (hardly ever excusable) ignorance and often worse, at least in the way Pewdiepie used it.
