How do you feel about the n word?

Question

I think that any race using the n word is just wrong.  No shade towards black people but why would you want to use a word meant to bring your race down? It actually is very stupid when you think about it. If a white person uses the word a black person is ready to fight but if a black person says it's ok because black people turned it into something good.  I'm confused on how you change the definition and meaning if a word for only one race. To me that is racism that the word is bad for white people but good for black people.  That is discrimination of the meaning of the word based in the skin color it is coming from. RACISM. 
Sorry for the long rant but I honestly want to know what people think.  So please be open minded but state your opinion. Be mature.

Accepted Answer

Black people don't care about your opinion on our use of that word.  Mind your business and post about issues that affect your people.

Answer

I feel that only black people’s opinions on this word matter since they’re the ones who suffered the harm it inflicted. Everyone else’s opinion means squat. Case closed.

Answer

Non-black folks don’t get a say in this conversation. It’s not our word to use period.

Answer

POC RECLAIMED the word. They are taking a word back that oppressed them and has so many negative meanings behind to them and them only. If your not a POC simply don’t say it or question it. It’s literally not your problem and not going to kill you.

Answer

You are just mad cause u wanna use it too.. Please grow up 😂😂😂

Answer

I’m not black so I don’t get a say in who gets to say the n word. I don’t say it and it’s very easy to avoid saying it. I have no desire to say it. I don’t know why some people are so obsessed about whether or not they can say it. (I’m specifically referring to other people who aren’t black). If black people want to reclaim the word, they are more than welcome to.

Answer

I’m not black so my opinion on who uses it or not is irrelevant, BUT I will say if I hear another non black person say it I tell them not to.

Answer

There are countless articles about why black people say the n-word. Just google it if you are actually curious. 
My very simple view it that it makes more sense to reclaim the word to mean “brother” than to retire and sweep it under the rug as a derogatory term for a black person. I don’t know why that is so difficult for so many to understand. 
...Ultimately it is not your choice and not your place to comment if you are not black - if you are curious about rationale, that is one thing but to continue on to call it racist is just blissful ignorance.

Answer

Mexicans say it to other Mexicans.

Answer

I feel as though no one should use the n word because there is no point for using it anymore. As a POC I’m disappointed when I see other POC using the word. The word was used to dehumanize African Americans and for African Americans to use the word, all buddy buddy, doesn’t make sense to me.
