Side note: I say nigga and calll niggas bitchass niggas all the timeThis shouldn't be a referendum on black people using the n word
Although I have made a personal choice not to and in my circle we don't do it. Obviously jokes etc it's gonna slip but it's felt good to take it out of my casual vocabulary.
Also now when i do hear it?
It stings
For a second there it didn't and that wasn't good for me and mines.
I used to check folk for using it but now? I don't. I noticed black folk would die to defend using the n word but NEVER address a white person using it.
And find EVERY excuse to justify them doing so.
And we see the result
We so f**king lost.
And I don't tell people not to use the word or care if people use it but...
There are times when I'm hearing it lately where it's cringey. And not the way that Drake says it cringey.
But it not being used as a term of endearment but negatively and it just doesn't sound right.
