“The N-word was historically used by white people during slavery, segregation, lynchings, and racism to degrade Black people. Because of that history, many Black people see it as a slur tied to oppression when non-Black people say it, Some Black communities later reclaimed the word — changing how it’s used among themselves. Reclaiming a slur is something many marginalized groups have done”

It’s reclaiming that trauma and making it lose the power it held over black people. That’s why it’s accepted for black people to address each other using that word and why it’s a heavier and weirder connotation for non-blacks using it.

The difference is the second is calling someone a slur and the other is not? If your friend tells you “this stranger told me ‘fuck you’” are you going to be offended at your friend for repeating it. Obviously not, you’re offended by the person who directed the word at your friend

I agree that if someone like a CHILD said the first one, yes itd be different. But otherwise, you know the history of the word and even if some people arent offended (though i dont think white people count), some people are offended so why use it? Why spread unnecessary harm ya know?

The best example I can think of to describe the impact of the word is this. Imagine you have a daughter and she is kidnapped and tortured for years along with 12 other girls. Their attackers would call the girls “pig-lard.” After 17 years of searching you find her and the other girls and set them free. You quickly learn she doesn’t like that word. You tell others. Despite that the 13 girls still use the word among each other bcs of comfort/community relations.

Anonymous #53 7w

Eventually someone who is not part of the 13 picks on your daughter. They say the word. Your daughter gets upset and retaliates. Is she wrong to get upset? You can be the judge of that. It’s very similar for black people, except the stuff happened to all of their great grandparents. Additionally, their parents and themselves often grew up with their bullies using the word. Additionally, they are still disadvantaged because of the bullies.

Anonymous #53 7w

Yeah it is a word, but everyone knows what took place for that word to hold the weight that it does. Just because the people who use the word most often have allowed the meaning to evolve (for themselves), doesn’t mean that overrides the original reason they call themselves that to begin with. The lack in people’s ability to comprehend nuances frustrates me. But again, I’m not worried anymore. I’ve witnessed karma work in real time on these people, so it’s truly whatever atp.

I guess I’m asking, In your ideal world: would you rather have it not used at all or have it be used by only black people?

Unfortunately, in my experience, it’s the other way around. Generally I see people far more hesitant to say the n word than the g slur. Probably just our social circles I suppose, though it’s really only ever older relatives I have to worry about in that regard since I don’t make a habit of making friends with people who say slurs targeting groups outside their own (I’m a trans person & often hear f*g & tr***y thrown around in a lighthearted way among fellow trans friends, but that’s about it).-

Anonymous #49 7w

-Regardless, I think the point of what I’m saying is that it depends on how the person was raised and what words ended up being stressed as more and less harmful, whether intentionally on accidentally over time. There are more factors that go into it I’m realizing, but I’m not the person to dissect that, at least not atm

The r slur is one that feels rotten to the core imo, never seen it actually reclaimed as opposed to just being reweaponized. When used genuinely as reclamation and only by the people it’s targeted against though, I see no issue. Personally I prefer not to use slurs generally, though as I said I respect any marginalized people who choose to do so as reclamation

No absolutely, I get you

Anonymous OP 7w

True, but the comparison made is to other phrases or words used by people only in the derogatory sense. Why compare a word that has that negative history and now has been reclaimed by that community to other phrases that have not been reclaimed and exist only as a disrespectful statement? Horrible comparison.

Anonymous #20 7w

I think you need to review the term, “cherry picking,” just because something exists that challenges definitions or your understanding of what you previously held true doesn’t mean I cherry picked lol. Contingencies exist. Moving on, I’ve never heard of that term, but if it is derogatory then it’s bad. I’m not excusing slurs? Using cracker in a derogatory context is also bad. But since the word still exists to define other things we don’t go “c-word.” Additionally, it’s not regarded as profane.

Ofc there are, but they are socially shunned for doing so. Whether it be cursing out God or their mothers or yelling Heil Hitler to Jewish people. People who permit the use of or saying of slurs (especially in person) also face sometimes severe social consequences. Especially if the other group has expressed discomfort in the past. One group’s unwillingness to compromise doesn’t eradicate that basic fact

1

Yeah, I think you are right. The use by people within the community is the way it should be and them use it as they see fit. Weather is reclaiming or getting rid of. It was a bit naive to say other groups don’t use slurs meant to harm them with each other in different ways. Thanks for the insight

You guys can say the n-word all you want. However, when you meet the love of your life and she happens to be black, or you discover that your boss’s boss is black, or you have black people who support you, or you interact with people who are black in anyway (inevitably) who dislike the slur then you will face consequences for saying it in the past or currently.

If your parents thought about the bigger picture or cared about your ability to navigate society, they would teach you these basic principles. PR training wouldn’t even be necessary if parents established social navigation skills early on. The ability to be respectful, have integrity, and move with empathy not only makes you likable and respected, but also helps you in the long run with career and relationships. But again, people will learn these lessons in due time.

The most important thing I always go back to is the consideration of what will happen when we’re all dead and gone. Would you rather have people cursing your grave, or be fondly remembered as a good person. In the end, youthful entitlement towards doing whatever you want without consequences will be worthless. All that will really matter is how we impacted people while we were here. Personally, I’d like to be remembered with love, but whether others do or not is up to them.
