I think United in Grief in my favorite song atm. Maybe because I been having a feeling of a black cloud over me, for the last week or so. The song really resonates with me.

Sorry. It was a lot to unpack, and a thoughtful response requires a lot of mental energy. I know that sounds like a weak ass excuse. I didn’t know how to respond to it. You were talking about how racist people are. Particularly seemingly progressive people who fetishize and stereotype you. And how black people are more impacted by their race, on the whole, than gay people on their sexuality. I have no problem believing that that is true, and that’s awful. But I don’t think it contradicts the points I’ve been making.

I think saying the n word is harsher cause that’s the value we put on it. Everyone collectively thinks of the n word as the worst thing you could possibly say. A lot of factors have made that so, but that’s how it is today. So in order to call someone the n word, you’d have to have so much hate that you break this incredibly dire social contract. That’s the only difference. It’s a difference of how they hit. But that doesn’t change the fact that both slurs are saying, I hate the thing you are. For Kendrick, we allow him the out of context. “It’s a past perspective. Your intention is good.” But for Jack Harlow, we wouldn’t allow him that out. It wouldn’t matter what context Jack used, people would find the word offensive anyways. That’s hypocritical.

There's levels to this s***

The history of the n word literally wrappe in slavery and blood and we still see the legacy and currency of that today

That's way the word is as toxic as it is

In terms of hypocrisy

What about the slurs that get tossed around that refer to women? Is it hyoocritical there's outrage about the f word but there's never any about b**** ?

Misogyny is so accepted in rap that we don't even bat an eyelid and women prolly can't even be bothered to summon up the fight

Everyone entitled to opinions and they should voice em if they feel them but people who try make equivalents of things that aren't the same and will never be the same . I don't agree. It's just not as toxic a word with the same impact . Just the same way other ethnic curse words don't have the same impact as that particular one . It don't mean it's right to use em but it's just not the same. and all you need to do is look at history or the news today to see why

It’s a response to what you just said. It’s not just society placing a value on one word over the other. It’s just the fact that one group can still have oppressors as opposed to the other lol

Like the n word is referring to a people who virtually have no rights in society as a whole and s***.

The f bomb is still wrong to say but there’s people in that group who can still benefit from whiteness and their proximity to it.

You even see it in certain industries like the fashion industry which has a lot of white gay men who find success as opposed to black men and women

Ok. I’m going to think on what you said. If you think of me and my comments as being insensitive, I apologize, this is a tricky convo to have.

I really think Terrance Martin and Kendrick had some sort of fallout

You telling me Kendrick went from giving him the only recent feature of his aside from Keem and then he just doesn’t appear on the album at all? Something ain’t right y’all.

Nah I don't think so Terrace posted the album on his story
