A million times this. How do people not know this?!

LOL he doesn’t do it in front of you is what you mean.

+1. My 14 years old DS and his friends never talk that way, and we're around them a lot! Travel baseball team - so we're around them day and night when it comes to out-of-town tournaments. Their coaches would have an absolute fit if they ever heard them talking that way.

It never stops. Nor should it.

Are you around him 24/7? I bet he does.

God I hope it calms down. My kid is only 12 and he comes home talking about hos and more. He gets called gay all the time at school and knows it’s not bad to be gay, but it hurts nonetheless.

I talk and talk until I’m blue in the face about how certain terms and conversations degrade women and how nobody who isn’t black can use the n_word; I don’t care if your buddy gave you the black card.

It’s neverending. I hope some sense sinks in.

Have you see this president?

Both types of talk should be shut down imo. There’s no need to speak disrespectfully about anything, ever. The feelings of disrespect that are allowed on the first kind of talk that lead to the feelings that start the second type of talk. Shut it all down from the start.

Meant to write: “It’s the feelings of disrespect that are allowed in the first kind of talk that lead to the feelings that start the second type of talk.”

I get so tired of seeing this. We are black, we hate the word. It's ok to tell your son that the word is offensive and inappropriate and that it's unacceptable. Tell him some black people think it's ok to use it but many do not.
