Why is there such big debate? I notice white Americans will bend and twist to find any excuse to use use the word but let someone say the r word or even use gay or queer as a slur they’ll flip their shit. Let’s stop lying here. They don’t care that it’s in a song they just wanna say it because black people make them uncomfortable and such a hurtful word would let them reassert their dominance in the racial hierarchy. And that’s just the truth of it. People want to do and say racist shit without being called to the carpet for their racism.
Yeah, no. I don’t want to do and say racist shit. I want to sing along to some of my favorite music, which only very occasionally contains racial slurs, typically not used as a slur.
Have you ever thought about not supporting an “artist” that would degrade their own by using that word in their work? Perhaps that’s a bigger part of the problem. Why listen to or buy the music of someone like that? That being said if you just want to say it no one is stopping you. Is that yeah it’s racist for you to say it song or not. And you literally proved my point by making the excuse of it’s in a song. Being in song does not excuse that you said a sickening slur. How is that hard to compute?
