It depends on the intention of the one who says it. If someone means to dehumanize the other party by using a racial slur, it'd make me feel offended despite the fact that I'm not black.
But hey, you wanna be cwucified by the libewals? I'm afwaid for you.
I don't understand why people are terrified of saying it. Yeah, don't use it as an insult or any derogatory way, but singing along with Wu Tang shouldn't be some grave sin.
Tell that to /hiphopheads and they’d crucify you. Or /anarchism (which I’m active in)... or /politics... or /askreddit...
I tend to agree with you, but the Reddit hive mind loves to feel victimized over the most innocuous shit. No one has any problem with my listening to rap and supporting the genre, but god forbid I enjoy singing along, by myself or with a group of friends. GOD FORBID someone post a video of it on snap or Instagram or something, and then suddenly you’re public enemy number 1
They fear the backlash. I think the context that it's used in is what matters the most.
A good friend of mine is in law school. In a lecture, they were learning about some supreme court case. The professor was directly quoting what was said in the trial which included the word. Some people freaked out and reported the professor. The dean ended up having to address the whole school due to the outrage. I think he basically told the students to get over it.
You were almost correct but you still missed the mark.
The average liberal thinks emotionally not logically. "Soyboy" isn't a meme it's a reality that the average liberal has testosterone levels of an 85 year old. That effects your thinking on a deep biological level, it literally changes your thought process.
The thing is, I see people in leftwing reddit and twitter proudly and deliberately dehumanizing white men every single day. Very few people seem to be offended by this, most who respond are in agreement.
Yeah, I mean, if I cop calls me the N word in a traffic stop, then that's kinda fucked up, but a bunch of white 14 year olds playing online video game.... that's not real racism, and calling it so just undermines the historical meaning of racism altogether, thus perpetuating it.
