Update

I saw him when we all went to the club he apologized many times so imma let just let it “slide” but take a mental note of the s***

I need to experience this

This guy is weird

Like i think it’s one of those things where he thinks he’s black cus he looks ethnically ambiguous lol

But again where still relatively new friends so I think he thought i wouldn’t care but i called him out immediately

Maartins had that mf outside the club pleadin for his life on his knees, GANGLAND style

He prolly had his nice cologne & best dress shirt on, then he went in that club all teary-eyed

As a non black person that isnt white you should def check them cause a lot of these mfs really think they got the pass to say it and its extremely cringe

bra niggas rly b thinkin s*** sweet u gotta flex on em keep ur foot on they neck word is bond

deadass these niggas is all hoes n u gotta treat em as such

honestly should’ve made it clear when u seen him in the club that u can and will bed his w**** n if he tries that s*** again u gon physically harm his b**** ass

I dont even know why anyone non-black would want to say that (ofc if a racist then yeah obv they want to use that)

Why he even said that @op ?
He racist or just dumb/ignorant as shyte?

Black culture is unanimous

These kids listen to rap and think its cool

It’s insensitive/disrespectful at best and straight up racist at worst

You gotta call it out because it will wake that person up to their ignorance and bullshit statement of “well I didn’t mean it like that.” The meaning doesn’t change just because you aren’t using it derogatorily.

It is up to us to call it out EVERY TIME no matter who it is or where it is because it has become too desensitized. That is NOT OKAY for someone to feel comfortable saying that or any other slurs against a specific community, even if they “don’t mean it like that.”
Do not feel awkward for challenging someone’s ignorance. They will ALWAYS look like a fool and you are not overreacting. F*** them if they think that

“new generation of blacks” ok buddy

black people as a collective rarely use nigga in a negative connotation. it’s no reason black youths or black people in general shouldn’t be able to use a word they took back and gave a new energy too, specifically Americans.

but I can understand some of our people feeling away about it, which is why I still support the idea of not using it and anybody going that route.

I’m not black, but I also have non black friends that say it around black friends and it’s never been an issue. (They don’t say it around strangers only this friend group)

I haven’t said it in years personally but I grew up in a very diverse part of Brooklyn where it was normalized.

I stopped saying it because I have a really strong love for the black community and everything they did for me.

When I was younger, I didn’t care when it was people who grew up around the environment. General rule of thumb was suburban white boys/girls were the only ones who go checked or anyone who used it in a racist way. When I say younger I’m talking ignorant teenager. Around 20 I started realizing how problematic giving people a “pass” is. Anyone I know who uses the word and isn’t black period gets checked. If they still use it then we aren’t cool anymore plain and simple.

Don’t let Twitter fingers fool you though. None of them are knocking anyone out for casually saying nigga. They just get on Twitter to complain about people using the N word casually. It’s not much you can do about it that won’t land you in a jail cell except cutting people out of your life who don’t see a problem with it

tbh i don’t remember if i’ve ever heard hard r in the wild outside of an educational setting (which even then would be pretty annoying)

but esp being in nyc u hear mad ppl say it that it’s kinda desensitized like

feel like the standards got higher past decade tbh

my policy is if it feels right it feels right if it don’t it don’t

i dont gotta clown a white boy using it because he lookin stupid himself

but idk, others may disagree with this approach

I hate this argument because y’all make it seem as if it’s impossible for people to multitask and focus on more than one thing lol. You can talk about all of that and still speak on nonblacks not saying nigga lol. This ain’t the argument y’all be thinking it is.

this the same in east coast tbh i think it’s generally the same all over

the differences comes in whose considered “black” or have some stake in “blackness” in whatever state / area you’re in

lmao i hate this rhetoric that you can’t be upset over passive racism but this second half got me like

Honestly the story behind it ain't special, it's pretty anticlimactic (I had to snitch ) Also I'm bad at telling stories but I'll give context as to why I did that.

So this white b**** was one of those white people who thought she was down with black people because she dated a Dominican dude (who wasn't even black but that's beside the point.

It's just me, the white b****, and this white guy Paul working one night. She's telling Paul some story and she says something like "nigga please". Paul (who has seen me go off on other people over smaller s***) just looks at me with the face. So as I get up out my seat and turn to her to say something he quickly rushes over to me and tells me to go to lunch because he doesn't want me to say something and end up getting in trouble. I end up biting my tongue.

So I go out to sit in my car and think on how I'm gon handle this. I can't go off on her and risk getting fired because I needed the money. I felt like I couldn't talk to coworkers or supervisors about it cuz they're all white and I assumed they'd be on some "well you say it so why can't we say it" type s***.

So I calm down go back in and did something I've never done at any job I ever had, I left a note for the manager
The note basically said that this white b**** been saying nigga and if I hear her say it again, I'm gonna go off on her.

Fast forward to the next day the manager comes in and pulls me aside. He tells me "hey I got your note you left for me and I just wanna let you know, she's done, she's never coming back here again." He then goes on to apologize that I had to hear her say that and the whole time he's talking I just got the look on my face not even hiding it lol.

I really thought he was just gonna talk to her, I didn't know he was gonna flat out fire her but I ain't mad, nobody there really liked her so it was for the best.

he should say it fr

Do you think it would have worked for any worker there or just because she was already unpopular?

i feel like if he said it in a song or something itd be so smooth that id prolly not even notice it first couple times

If anyone reads that and wonders why I just didn't calmly confront her and tell her to stop, it's cuz when it comes to stuff like that I don't know how to keep calm and couldn't risk getting fired.

Also apparently a white coworker already told her to stop so and she wouldn't so I have no problem with how I handled it. It's not how I like to do s*** but people like her have no respect for my people so I don't care about having any type of honor or respect when it comes to them

Honestly yeah I think it would have worked no matter who it was. The supervisors and manager seem to agree that if you're not black you shouldn't be saying that word. Two of them literally said that to me which, surprised me lol. Also I think she was still on her 90 day probation which made it easy for them to fire her.

they wasn’t tryna see that discrimination lawsuit fr

Black people call other races extremely derogatory names and get away with. We make jokes about them on the daily and get away with it.

if he apologized he good for it op
