TonyAndonuts 2,877 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 So I very very very briefly worked for this sales company. During my time there, I was teamed up with these young and energetic guys. One was Black (like me) and the other was Arab. They were both really friendly, I guess, but...well they both really liked shit talking White people and they both said the N word a lot...including the Arab guy. The Black guy seemed totally fine with it though and since I'm a wimp who hates confrontation, I just shrugged it off. But at one point when it was just me and the other Black guy, I asked if he's okay with it and he said: "It's cool. I consider anyone who isn't White to be Black. As long as they aren't White, know what I mean?" ...I...I uh...hmm. I...I dunno, I dunno about that. I actually see this happen quite often where a non-Black person has a bunch of Black friends so they say the N word just as much as they do. Like, I get it if it's just between them and their Black friends who're okay with it, but it becomes a problem when they think that gives them permission to say it in front of anybody. "Relax, I have Black friends and they're okay with me saying it." Okay, cool, but I'm not... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hormones 1,612 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 I agree with you. Non-blacks should not be saying it. In fact no one should and move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueNose 2,767 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 I’m black and I don’t agree with that. I don’t let anyone say the N word around me. It makes me uncomfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss.Miss 8,896 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Just ignorance. A lot of ignorance prevails because it's reinforced by people the ignorant person assumes should know better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyAndonuts 2,877 Posted August 22, 2018 Author Share Posted August 22, 2018 I agree with you. Non-blacks should not be saying it. In fact no one should and move on. I personally really don't like the word no matter who says it. But since I've grown up hearing my peers saying it like 100 times a day everyday, I've kinda just grown numb to it now. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
