After witnessing w/ dismay wyte ppl in the medievalist community discuss when it's ok to use the n-word, as a Black woman I thought I would do a thread on scenarios when wyte ppl can use it. This is not just for the academic community so pls share. 1/ #medievaltwitter #shakeracepic.twitter.com/521ITqvmZB
