What's your opinion about white people using the n-word? Would it make you feel uncomfortable if a white friend said it & what would you do/say to them about it? What did you think about the bill maher situation and the discussion he had with ice cube?
people can say whatever words they want. but i think it should be pretty obvious by now to any reasonable human that using the n word is a racially charged and shitty thing to do. it's just not necessary in any context i can think of, other than to flip the bird at the perceived elitism of PC culture or to poc. there's this element of "HEE HEE I SAID IT!" wow how edgy. it's idiotic. this is one of the backlash effects of pc language in general unfortunately. the n word is one of my personal hard lines because it is extremely loaded historically and degrading. just an ugly word all round. i have had friends who used it and we've talked about it. some stopped using it.
i havent seen the maher segment.
