it’s okay if you didn’t know this too, but the important thing is that you’re willing to put an effort into learning why it is how it is if that makes sense. like a white person saying the n word is very different from a black person saying the n word. same goes for a straight person saying the f word vs a non-straight person saying it.

What if I’m not saying it as a slur but as part of a song

Anonymous OP 16h

we all know you’re talking about a song, you said that in the first place; it does not change anything. the word is a slur, regardless of your intentions. it does not matter if you do not intend to harm someone by saying it, the impact is more important. see this is why I mentioned the important thing being whether you’re willing to learn and change or not; because it seems like this post is just an attempt for you to justify your bad behavior, rather than an attempt to educate yourself.

Forgot to mention but I’m mixed and white passing. But even if I get pressed I shouldn’t have to apologize. Nobody alive today was a slave back then. Nobody experienced what they went through today

you can be mixed or not white and still inevitably support white supremacy. the n word is not solely about being a slave, it’s about the entire nature of white supremacy and the demonization of non-white people; hence why racists still use that word till this day in a derogatory manner. lastly, what the fuck is the point of this post if you’re able to say the word on question? dumbass running propaganda for white supremacists for free.

Saying that is like saying that saying cracker is black supremacy. So why do black people say it each other if it means that

For a sec I thought u meant they were actually in the klan. Connections don’t mean klan. The Klan endorsed Biden that doesn’t mean he’s part of it

Anonymous OP 16h

yeah that was my fault for saying klansmen instead of white supremacists, I misspoke in my earlier comment. regarding those two, I’m not even sure if they’re directly associated with the klan; it’s more so a matter of them espousing the same exact ideology and acting to destabilize the state of civil rights within our nation. and dude fuck biden lol, who gives a fuck ab that old sack of shit. We’re talking about the ppl who have power right now

What do that have to do w white ppl being able to say a slur when it’s in a song tho

1

Anonymous OP 15h

because the slur in question is one created out of white supremacy and the use of that slur inevitably reinforces white supremacy with or without that intent being there, except for in the instances of reclaiming that word in an attempt to deconstruct the harm it does. the fact that white supremacy is on the rise once again, especially in the government, has everything to do with this topic

If a white dude is in his car by himself, listening to a song by a Black artist, and he says the word in the lyrics as its written just because he likes the song, and doesn’t ever say it around other people or use it as a slur, then how exactly does that reinforce white supremacy?

1

Anonymous #2 15h

look, if they’re in the car by themselves and no one hears them say it, AND them saying it has no ill intentions behind it, then it’s *somewhat* harmless in that very specific instance however, the reason I say that any use of the word that isn’t a form of reclamation serves to reinforce white supremacy, is due to a couple reasons:

Anonymous #1 15h

1. For those of us raised in the US, we are all conditioned with forms of white supremacy as we grow up, most of the times we don’t even realize it occurred until adulthood. In those cases, which is the majority of cases, using that word despite its historical origins (and current uses, we can’t forget how racists still weaponize that word), subliminally normalizes that word for the person who uses it, which serves to reinforce how normalized white supremacy already is

I’m sure a guy saying the n word in a song isn’t going to put anyone back in chains gng

2. that word does have the ability to cause harm to others solely through hearing it said, whether it’s directed to them or not; so imagine someone is driving by and they hear you say that word, especially with no context aside from apparently singing; we don’t know whether them hearing that word is going to invoke subconscious (or conscious) fears due to our overall society, and therefore we don’t know if we’re going to accidentally cause harm to others by using it even as a part of a song.

3. while my second point may not stand in a scenario such as “singing a song in the privacy of your own home”, I still worry about my first point, being the normalizing effect it has on the person using it. basically I try to operate out of a framework along the lines of “try to do the best I can; and cause the least amount of harm towards others as possible”. That’s kinda why I hold those beliefs about the use of a slur even when no one hears it.

Anonymous OP 15h

and I’m not saying it is; my point is about the impact it has on the person using that word, as well as whether anyone hearing them use it will be harmed by it.
