You can't avoid the word in that culture. Maybe avoid the culture?
Then you will still be labeled as a racist. The victim mentality is the biggest pandemic.

My kids (grade school) have no clue what that word is or means, and likely have never heard it.
They must be pretty young and/or go to a school with a homogenous population. Send your kids to school (public or private) in South La and that word is known them quickly.

You know, i was thinking about that word the other day.

But I’m guessing that whoever wrote and sang the lyrics is celebrated for it. Great times we are living in.
Exactly…he didn’t say a racial slur like they are claiming….he QUOTED someone else who used a racial slur. The person who originally used ,and published, the slur should be punished, not the quotee.

It’s a fricking song lyric, if you aren’t directing it to someone there is no malice and no reason to be in an uproar about it.

Who wrote the song? Have they been fired (or cancelled)?
Oh wait, they aren't required to follow the same rules, right?

When I hear that word it is normally preceded by the word “fricking”
Posted on 5/4/23 at 8:21 am to eljefe85
Why apologize? Frick that. Either don't say stupid stuff when you know you don't get a pass. Or you own it and say "Take it out from the song".

I think that dude is a little naive. From a very young age, kids know that word, not just in the south, the the country.

To me murder in cold blood is unforgivable… making a mistake by reading the N word off a lyric sheet is just a bad mistake and a boo boo

We have sick perverted psychos that are allowed to biologically appropriate themselves to be females and go wave their cock in balls in front of your daughter in a public dressing room yet a white guy can not culturally appropriate themselves for one second reciting a word that is used daily by black people in both disparaging and affection meanings because all of a sudden "MUH RACISM" and Black entitlement syndromes.

They have absolutely heard it, they just know not to say it.

Wait....he just read the "slur" and he got fired? SO he didn't call anyone this? So dumb

He didn't "use" it at anybody or call someone the N word. He literally read it from a song lyric. And regardless of the dude himself or if you like him or not, that is absolutely a ludicrous reason for him to be fired IMO.
I think it's a ridiculous policy but when it is a known policy and you break it I think it's a little different.
Kind of like working for a company that doesnt allow ANY DRUG usage whatsoever from their employees. At night a guy goes home and eats a piece of an edible he has a prescription for and is well within all legal guidelines to do so but fails a drug test the next day.
Stupid, ridiculous policy IMO but I (reluctantly) understand understand it's enforcement

there was a thread on here yesterday about a car blocking a bike lane in DC, black dude and his bitch in the car, if I wasn't so lazy I'd dig it up and count how many times they said the n word in just a short video

This country is under minority rule now.
