Please tell me in what context, the N word is appropriate? Please.

Its about as appropriate as saying the F word. When directing it at a person with the intent to cause emotional harm, then its far less appropriate. But in the end its just a sound without the specific context.

What in the world is wrong with you people? F word is a curse word. N word is a racist slur. They are not the same.

Let me explain.

If i trip and fall and yell the F word, that context is very different then telling someone to go F themselves or they are an F'er. Agree? Context matters. Context is everything in language!

If you say a word and it accidentally is recorded, so freaking what? What was the intent there?

DP. Uh, no, not remotely the same. Context matters - but so does the word you use. If you have slurs in your vocabulary at all, that's very telling.

What do you think of rappers using the word comstantly?

Generally gross, but as a person who is not black it's not up to me.

There is a difference with "in-groups" and "out-groups" using slurs, especially as a form of taking power back. For example: women using the word "b***h" positively to their group of female friends ("my b****es"), and men using the term, when they have no personal experience having had that term used pejoratively against them. Virtually every woman HAS had that word used pejoratively against them.

OMG you just explained why context matters! Thank you I rest my case. A word has no meaning without context!

Right. Context matters. Non-black persons should not be using the n-word in their vocabulary. And non-women should not be using the b-word in their vocabulary.

This is insane. Of all of the taboos, all the actual racism around us every day, all of the horribly offensive things people call each other, why is this single word everyone’s hill to die on?

It all feels so superficial and performative.

And you are white, of course

I would bet you are white also! Only white women seem to care about this political correctness stuff so much

Can't hide behind "political correctness" complaints anymore MAGA. We know how far you will go.

This B is trying to act like she hasn't said THAT before? That's not a common term AT ALL. But it must be to her!

Is that the context? She shouldn’t have said that bottom line. But she wasn’t maliciously directing that to a person on set, a person behind their back, or towards a people or gender at all in general.

You are gross.

So. F—king. What.

Black people use this word more than ANYONE. If it’s a banned word it should be banned for everyone.

She didn’t call anyone that. i.e. she didn’t intend to use it as a slur.

Again, your outrage is 100% performative.

You are talking like it's 2024

No one cares to debate this with you. It's out loud and proud with the white outrage these days, MAGA

We all can smell you. Why don't you boycott them?

Yes that’s a really weird curse phrase
Yes she said it
Yes she regretted it
No she didn’t direct it to someone particular No she didn’t have a practice of going around and calling people this in public on the regular.
Yes the faux outrage is over the top

It’s a f—king weird thing to say, but she didn’t call anyone a slur. It doesn’t even sound like it was used as anything other than gibberish.

It is not okay to say the word, period. Whether or not you are directing it at someone. If you use it in private around your house, that's not okay.

You don’t get to decide that. Period.

Okay. But you are a horrible person. I hope you don't have kids.
