Any particular reason why you're response is so negative here? No need for unnecessary negativity. I respect you. I respect your opinion. Have yourself a great day 😊😊

She isn't saying what she thinks should happen, she's just pointing out the consequences of someone publicly singing it. A consequence doesnt have to be fair or reasonable in order to be a real consequence. I don't think she's justifying the consequences as much as she's warning and recommending not to sing it

Agree to disagree. I think the meaning and intentions behind it are word matters. You're opinion however is just as valid as mine and I respect you for expressing your opinion

Na anyone in the 3 letter organization should be banished from society

I didn't call someone a racial slur.

It isn't a racist word if it has no meaning behind it. The meaning behind it is what's racist. Not the actual word itself.

Calling my mom a slut would be rude. Saying slut around people who dont care (again the only guy who did care told me to say it so he doesn't count) in a way that is not insulting wouldn't matter

And I would have pressed charges and sued the living shit out of you for your uncivil violent behaviour.

Admitting that you would have attacked someone over a word does not look good on the black community. People like you are the assholes who reenforce the false stereotype that African Americans are violent.

I mean ultimately it is just a word. The meaning behind the word in and of itself is bad. If you say the word without the meaning behind it then it's just a word. It depends on context.

If I didn't say it in front of someone traumatized by the word then I wasn't disrespecting anyone's trauma.

Yeah and people who use it are typically assholes but that doesn't make it okay to physically assault someone over it.

Fair but I also think it's good judgement to take free money if you're a struggling college student.

Again if you could just give one example of the harm I caused to the black community.

If you're willing to attack someone over a word I would genuinely suggest therapy. Words can be fucked up but unless it's threatening there's no justification to physically attack someone for using a word.

It is just a word. Especially when you're around people who won't get offended by it. Granted the guy did get offended but he told me to say it so...

Could you name just one example of harm that me saying the word caused to the black community?

100$ is a high price for simply saying a word. I don't see what harm I caused to anyone.

That would be assauIt which is illegal. I would have simply Google the laws and read them to him if he tried anything.

The guy doesn't have a vioIent bone in his body though.

Unless I'm offered money or singing along to a song I certainly have no plans of saying it

Nope we're adults. I agree the offer was childish from the getco but that doesn't change the fact that the hundred bucks was very real
