He has so many blind fans that love him just like Justin Bieber But at least Justin said "Sorry" and wanted to be "Friends". I love the double standards though. If a female star said the "n" y'all would drag her to hell and back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just tell him to be more careful about using the word, no need to jump on him and try to 'end his career' over this. It's not like he's a neo-nazi or KKK member saying this word as a racist remark. this everyone loses his **** when he does something wrong but when he raises literally MILLIONS for charity, everything is silent Life has a hopeful undertone |-/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morphine Prince 96,178 Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 As someone with a large platform he should be more careful. Sure, cultural differences exist but things that are this highly sensitive should be avoided. It's like saying "Gypsy" in the US, which is not offensive. If you go to Europe you won't say it because it won't be met with the same response. As a public figure you should know when to say and not say things and as an audience we need to learn context to assess if the person was or wasn't trying to be offensive. My two cents.

The N word does not just mean black. What an ignorant thing to say. The N-word isn't "NEGRO" btw. It's Ni**er which takes on a different context.

I have heard many people from Greece call others gypsy with no regard. I was watching a live stream and this girl kept referring to her 'gypsy friend' and the guy didn't mind at all.

The n-word is no longer an insult despite years of history. We're cured. It's an insult only because people want to see it like that,and find problems with everything. Of course watching black people and only thinking about their color is racist itself.But the word itself is really not a thing and the fact that black people use it more than any other word like "dude" etc. (especially in their songs that have IMPACT on both white and black people) shows that it's all bullshit Of course if you use it as an insult it's racist af.

As much as I don't want people to get SO offended by this word wich wasn't used in an especially insulting context, I don't think you can see it as just a word for "black" I wish it could be that easy and just get it's original meaning back, but that won't happen anytime soon.
