Quick question, if a black person uses the n-word on Twitch, do they get banned?

Yes.  It's in the TOS.

One of the core examples of how the Regressive Left shoots themselves on the foot: "Let's work for a world which is equal and overcomes differences... but then let's keep stuff that reminds us that we are different and should back off because of the color of our skins!"

It's not about reminding us that we are different.  It's about the history, origination, intent and derogatory nature of that word.  You can't just wipe that away because you want to.

This is mostly a US thing I assume. When I say "whaddup my n*ggas?!" to my viewers in a funny way on stream, would I get banned?

Yes, it's mostly a US. Check out the words' history to understand this issue more.  And yes, you would be banned.  It's against the TOS.

outside of speaking that single word, how has he indicated that he doesn't like black people?

It's not about liking black people, it's about respecting black people.  If you cannot respect an oppressed group, a disparaged group, a subjugated group by not using the very term that was invented to denigrate said group...what kind of person does that make you?

Simply put...if you know the word is bad (and how can you really not know this) and use it anyway, even just jokingly, you are being exceptionally disrespectful.  If you say it with original intention, then you are both disrespectful and racist.

Such bullshit. White people enjoy black culture as well. Shocking, isn't it? It's pretty common, for white people as well, to use "nigger/nigga" in an amicable way. Someone texting "whaddap my nigga?" to his friend is racist now? Or only when it refers to white people?

What do you mean "now"?  It's always been wrong for white people to use the word.  Please inform me of a time when it was socially acceptable for white people to use the word without it ever having derogatory connotations.

lol at least there was a word.

I am banned for 3 months from YouTube because i used big bash in my title for a live stream event. Some dodgy Indian scammer company raised a copyright strike on it and YouTube basically said fuck you. Even when I challenged it, it has been under review for 2 months lol. The strike will expire quicker I think.

Was your video or title also using the word "League" in it?  If it did, they had a legal standing to claim infringement.  That's the name of an Indian Cricket league.

He actually leaves in Holocaust but takes out the N word from this

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKdV5FvXLuI (This Link is to a song which features the word Holocaust.... but not bad words like the N word)

Are you suggesting Holocaust has a similar connotation and derogatory nature as the N-word?

Not going to cut up this into pieces here but you seem to think that word was "invented" as a racial slur, please if you want to talk about a word at least know that it was in use as a descriptive term for 200 years before it was ever used in a derogatory manner or ethnic slur. The word is a corruption of the spanish for Black, but I'm not even talking about "negro" I'm talking about the word that got this lad banned from Twitch, that existed for 200 years before it was a racial slur.

As for your question to me? Sticks and stones may break my bones... ever hear that phrase? I'm fairly certain being called a name has never killed 6 million people....
