      You merely adopted the N-word. I was born in it. Molded by it. I didn’t leave the Xbox live CS lobby until I was already a man.

      This is at the very least a shitpost. Most of them are thinly veiled political discussions.

      They would be very humorous Russian bots. If Russia’s going to influence us using funny jokes I’m all for it

      I geniuenly think that this big censorship of n-word around the world is result of american cultural imperialism. Only americans should think it is offensive word and maybe other english-natives, but not like the entire world.

        Not only is this not censorship, it is functionally a different word entirely. The spelling matters here.

        You serious? The word has been used for a loooong time to demean and dehumanize a hroup of people. It’s only recently been reclaimed by that group of people. The thing is, I a white person saying the word with or without the hard R. Is very different than a black person saying it.

        There is no pass, there is no saying it in private or because it’s a lyric in a song. I had a significant black influence on my life through my step dad and his family and later my wife and her family. I’ve seen amd heard the words used against them amd them saying it amongst eachother. I was even given a talk when I was very young explaining it when I said it.

        Stucks and stones they say, well that’s just not true. Words havr power including that one. I can’t really tell if the person in the video is a black person but the context changes.

        Are you dumb or just uninformed?

        At least here in germany the Nazis heavily used it and gassed blacks, no american influence need to make decent people avoid it.

          no American influence

          Well, yes and no. Hitler did love all the racism we were so good at, so he did copy our notes pretty extensively. But yes, no American exceptionalism was exported for this crime against humanity, just imported.

        At this point, I am just content not saying the bad word even endearingly in any context, even if I get the pass.

        Or many other bad words. It is just better safe than sorry.
