No and most other men so far saying yes reminds me why I tend to have more women friends than men

Literally never used it outside of one time while we were reading a book in class and I really didn’t like it. Idk ab yall but I don’t find enjoyment in saying slurs. (White F from the south)

The fact that it’s like half of non-black men on here are saying the n word semi regularly is actually so concerning 💀why would anyone non black be saying it at all besides an accident or something?

I have used it 3 times in my life. Once I was little and didn’t understand it, the second time was when I was dating a black guy and he gave me a one time pass, and I said it out of anger once. I felt disgusted especially the second two times. I hate the word and plan to never say it again. White girl

I’ve said it twice. Once in middle school when reading aloud “to kill a mockingbird” for English class (very nervous and uncomfortable) and again in high school when my friend gave me a one time pass (I used it immediately as a joke and we all laughed). Also I’m a guy.

I said it once when I was reading out loud because I didn’t realize what I was reading and wasn’t paying attention💀

I *am* a man and I’m shocked to see how many men picked yes. I’m honestly disappointed in us.

this is why i don’t understand why black men give their yt gfs the pass cs then y’all use it against them out of anger lol there isn’t even no such thing as “the pass” if they want sb who can say the n word why not date a blk woman?! but i’m glad u have learned from ur mistakes that’s all that matters

The one time pass was to say it as a joke. When I said it out of anger I didn’t even say it to him. I was sobbing to my best friend (another white gurl) about how abusive he was and she was shocked to hear me say it.

by calling it "edgy" or "shock value" you are contributing to the minimization that makes people comfortable saying it. it's not "edgy", it's racist. it's not "shock value", it's bigotry. they are not children, they are adults; and even if they weren't it's no excuse because plenty of kids know better
