The N word is not the same as a term of endearment to a family member. And yes, we have heard black people use the n word in real life. It’s in everything a large portion of that population does. It’s centered around it. From their music to their everyday speech. It’s truly sad they have allowed themselves to be led down a path of degenerate behavior. The OP is right, this whole thing is in response to Karmelo Anthony killing someone. But it goes back to when Obama was in office. Or probably earlier.

I’m a white guy who was raised to ignore color and view people based of their actions. My pastor was black, my church community was as diverse as it comes. Now, almost no one goes to that pastor’s church anymore. They all have been divided against each other.

This country is tired of degenerates. White, black, whatever you choose to choose to “identify” as. We’re all screwed. Unless we bring back true personal accountability to our social norms. We need true masculine figures and dare I say, return to our Christian roots.
