they should have never brought threads to twitter. is this all there is now, just shaming off of likes and trying to be internet doctor phil with a thought you got from sitting on the toilet

i think these conversations are worth having. seeing if this community thinks something is racist or trivial holds some value

yes exactly. just look at "ratioing" someone. it's really hivelike. people will post s*** they don't even really believe for likes all the time

in some contexts it can be really sus, all depends on the persons intentions and the message of the tweet

It’s corny and it’s only giving that woman more attention which I honestly think we shouldn’t do.

True but I also really need the media to stop using Twitter so much

yeah i agree with this. personally i don’t normally like or retweet things with the word in it, normally because the tweet contains things that don’t pertain to me lol

but if one of my friends tweet something with the word in it and it’s about something we just did or i can relate to it or some s*** i will

tf it's not your voice so it's fine lol

Eh ill just continue to do what i want on Twitter and let you post eye roll gifs over it.

Thinking that black people make good jokes and supporting them with a like/retweet is racist

This is peak 2020

Notice how these people complaining are always white, self-righteous, holier-than-thou, self-declared ‘activists’.

Can the aliens watching us blow the planet up already

It’s the internet bro. You not gon control these niggas from doing it lmao

The gatekeeping of the N word is always hilarious. Like, I am fully behind white people not using it, but we are now reaching a point where people are just creating arguments to attack whites over it. Whites will not be able to listen to the word in music next. White people need to listen to the censored version or not listen at all.

It's hilarious because there are p**** white people out there who will all go along with it knowing it is complete and utter nonsense because they want to appear as progressive.

I don't say it out respect.

When it comes to liking/ RT I do it. I see the context.

I don’t have a problem with them liking or quote retweeting but it depends on what they’re retweeting. I’ve had tweets where I would say some like niggas dirty asl or you can’t trust these niggas etc. those style tweets and non blacks would interact with it like it was cool or some. The problem is a lot of them think nigga mean “person”. They don’t know the history of the word and a lot of them don’t even care to learn.

Wait what does the 'as' version of the word mean? I thought it just means black people

Yeah it’s a term of endearment for us, we took the er version and reclaimed it and gave it a new meaning.

When I see nonblacks arguing for their right to say it they usually just minimize it to being “just a word” or they just use as a placeholder for person or something.
