      One more attempt to persuade white people not to say the n-word. Thread:

      1. The n-word is not just a word: it's a word associated with an extreme history of slavery, murder, discrimination, and hate.

      2. You feel like being told not to say it is a gross and unjust limitation of freedom. But consider the restrictions society places on PoC.

      3. A lot of black people can't even wear natural hairstyles, or talk in AAVE (African-American Vernacular English) at work.

      Why? Because they live in a world where whiteness has more power, where they have to cater to the whims and tastes of white people.

      4. By contrast, the request that you not say a word associated with an extreme history of racist hate and violence is pretty small.

      5. So no, it is not unfair that "only black people get to say it." 6. Do not say it.

          I disagree with #5. Not in that it's wrong white people are disallowed to say it, but that black people can say it with impunity...

          ...How can it be a good thing to 'take back' the right to call yourself and your peers the worst slur possible for yourself and your peers?

          You know the answer to both of those questions, you're pretending to be ignorant.

          It is pretty funny how as soon as contra brings up 5 people come out of the woodwork to complain about it. Like clockwork

          The desperate need folks have to find exceptions & counterexamples & excuses to say it would be kind of amazing if it wasn't so gross & sad.

          This shallow rules-lawyer mentality shows why we need better humanities education.
