The N word is no different from any other bad word or slur: Depending on who you're talking to or how it's used, you're bound to offend someone. It's not complicated.

And yes, we use the word casually amongst ourselves in the black community, but that's our decision, our thing, we don't need to explain it to you and we don't care if you don't get it.

 

so... black people are highly offended by a word ( that is supposedly inherently racist ) that they themselves use casually and that makes sense?

 

i'm sorry but it can't work that way for someone that's being logical - you either aren't offended by the word or you are and therefore wouldn't use it

 

its like if its automatically assumed that a black person cannot use the word with malicious intent while a white person must always do so, which is dumb

 

i'd also like to mention the racism that goes the other way in stating that a particular race cannot do something while another one can
