White people have been telling black people what they should or shouldn't be doing for decades. They can fall back on this one.
Not every conversation is for everyone.
As a white person, what would you add to a conversation about whether or not black people should say nigga? You know that's what my post was about, correct?
Dunno, I'm not really white. I used it myself when hanging out with some friends when I was younger and later I thought about how black people used the deragotry term and formed it into something entirely else, taking it away from the racists.
Same thing with Turks in Germany and the word "Kanacke." And whether that's a good thing or if it helps said racists (most of all in America) keeping up their stereotypes in some ways and what good it does identifiying with such words.
If you would see me in real life you would tell me to stfu tho, and thats sad. maybe you'll do here as well, who knows.
No one other than black folk should tell black folk how to handle the N word.
How are you making yourself a victim of a post that wasn't even directed at you?
Not in my chain of conversation to which you replied to.
And white privilege is a thing so
I never said anyone should tell black folk how to handle the word. Discussing something isn't the same thing as telling someone to do something.
And I'm not making myself a victim, just trying to convey how that mindset isn't benefiting anyone and used myself as an example.
It is a thing no doubt. It's also the reason that helped developing instiutionalized racism and minorities, especially black folks suffering on a daily basis and having to work twice as hard as white people.
Which leads to black folk looking at white people as either racists, people who are ok with racists or people who somehow proved they actively do something against the shit. Which is a pretty hard thing to do when you don't know people personally.
That was explicitly about the use of a word that no-one other than black people have any right to decide on its usage. Full stop
I doubt black people actively decide on it's usage anyway, except when some idiot wants to discuss whether he can use it or not, which , at least as far I'm concerned, rarely happens.
