They dated, he had her on a pod after they broke up and they lightheartedly spoke on the subject lol

I never imagined it would be so hard for people to be on the same page when it comes to racial slurs

thought the left leaning and very progressive youth of America would reach a general consensus of "you shouldn't do that"

I know the word has historical context, the historical context is white people whipcracking slaves lol. Like the actual historical context of the word signifies the oppressive role of white people, whereas other racial slurs that people find genuinely find offensive are used to dehumanize people from said race. That's why it's different.

Theres levels to slurs

Cracker has no real weight behind , how do you not get that 😭

I think we all know you can't say it just openly but the punishment will be different depending on who says it. Everyone should get a permanent ban if we're being equal but the top people that buddy up with Twitch get off easy

Love this website

just kidding f*** this bumfuck website it sucks i'm only here cuz i'm bored

You don’t think insulting a white person by calling them the intended definition of the word isn’t dehumanizing and speaking something reprehensible and unforgivable of their character?

Wonder if these ppl are calling people out for using the word "stupid" while being against saying the r word since technically both are ableist lol

I just explained to you. You don't decide what weight words hold to another person.

The word has no weight TO YOU. If someone is offended by what you said then that is their right. That's what society has been saying this past decade.

Why wouldn't it apply to white people as well?

WHITE ARENT OPRESSED or ever was

Sry ran out of caplock

Generalizing the left as all being on the same page is just as bad as saying the right are all racists for the most part. There's millions of people with complex opinions and nuance

Lock it up

No it's not dehumanizing, being called an oppressor is not a nice experience I'm sure, but it's not that. Dehumanization is not "being mean", it's not something abstract, Africans were LITERALLY dehumanized in order to justify slavery, you know the whole 3/5 of a man thing

that's sad that an issue like the use of racial slurs has complex opinions and nuance amongst the left, or any party for that matter

think it's just a pretty obvious human response to agree that it isn't acceptable

I would say both are dehumanizing as f***, one being far worse (n word) the other

but one of these words implying something truly disgusting about their character

And thats the issue.

People generalize everything. So when people are acting like Hasan has a valid point when he is a literal Young Turks reject? Now everyone thinks left leaning people online believe that s***. Man is doing streams with AOC

Unless your goal is just to piss off white people online, you aren't arguing about something like this.

Like if I wanna piss someone off, you think a word being a slur is gonna stop me? F***, I don't even call white people crackers, I call them cacs and make mayo jokes among friends.

But thats behind the doors s***. Imagine pretending to be a twitch political commentator and fueling this right wing insanity by just needlessly arguing that you should antagonize white people to your audience of 30k???

People like Hasan are just running the outrage counter for clicks and Bezos bucks.

Again dehumanization is not an abstract thing, it's not dehumanizing to be called an oppressor, it is dehumanizing to literally not be seen as a human or equal to what you deem to be the "superior race"

But anyway when somebody is being racist, that's totally justified bc I would say that's pretty reprehensible no?

Is it a d*** move to call random people cracker for no reason? Yeah id say so

u really got ppl itt saying both words are bad but one is just worse itt its so over man

Yeah the only time I found cracker as a racial slur appropriate was watching the Madagascar film with Donald Trump in it. That was done for art purposes and was historically accurate

is one not worse
