AnnTakamaki 6,871 Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 7 minutes ago, Easy said: I have friends who are not fluent in English but when they do Karaoke they sing the N word without knowing the meaning but when I told them they just thought “it’s just a song” “I’m just singing the lyrics written on screeen”. Can any African american enlighten me with your insights? Do you find an Asian singing a The Weeknd song uncensored offensive? Coz it’s so strange to self censor when I do Karaoke as an asian myself i dont use N word or any word that insult to other cultrure if it self censored when singing yes i do it all the time & i do feel a bit weird but still i dont want to use it even if it's just a song i know it's gonna influence people around me to feel ok to use it too. Cause there is a big FB page in our country that poke fun at many popstars, one time they use the N word & many people start to use it to make fun of each other they even feel it's ok to use it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I for instance think it's extremely unnecessary for you to voice your opinion on what it does not concern you at all. you don't have an issue with the N word because it's irrelevant to your caucasian rear. and nor does it matter if you actually had one because your opinion is TOTALLY IRRELEVANT WHEN IT COMES TO THIS. and if you ask yourself.

If you are offended by the word, yet use the word in your vocabulary, then you are a ****ing hypocrite. I don’t give a damn how people want to twist it. IF you are offended by the “f” word, and you are gay, and use it in your regular vocabulary, you are a hypocrite. Same with the n-word. SO yeah, be sensitive about it, be offended by it, but also accept the fact that you are a hypocrite, if you think its ok to use the word, just because you are black. Get the **** outta here.

Second of all, ER is a slur, A is very much slang for said term. Didn't you say you use both? Lol 12 hours ago, Cruzifix said: I’m American. I live in the Midwest. The friendships that I have with other people of color (I’m Hispanic) includes the casual use of words such as N****, N*****, and F*****. We have a philosophy that by using such terms. in a comedic form, we are, in turn, ridding said words of their power. Not only that, but a huge majority of the POC I know use the term N**** with their non-POC friends. I honestly feel everyone’s become too sensitive.

Exactly! Preach!! That's what Tina Fey also said in my last post here. Same with girls calling each other sluts and whores, using that language towards each other makes it okay for guys to use that language towards girls.

I hope you understand that slavery was very prominent in other races and culture, and not just specific to black ancestry.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its silly of you to say that you cannot voice your opinion just because you're not black yourself. Everyone and anyone is entitled to their own opinion on a subject, and to be able to voice said opinion. Otherwise, there would be no real discource happening.

The modern use for said word is not rotted to the original meaning. It’s essentially slang for “homie”. I think it’s extremely unnecessary to dictate who can say what. It's the last word that some black people heard before they were strung up on trees and hanged for being black. It is absolutely rooted to its original meaning. Black people may have claimed the word to weaken its power over them, but that doesn't mean white people can use it. The fact white people use it at all is just another example of cultural appropriation at its worst: taking from other cultures because it seems cool, normalising it, claiming ownership of it, and erasing the true meaning of it. Our race has a lot to answer for. I think we can live without using the n word. It's the least we can do. I love judas SO MUCH but I canʹt look like a copycat of JLO!!!!
