    You serious? The word has been used for a loooong time to demean and dehumanize a hroup of people. It’s only recently been reclaimed by that group of people. The thing is, I a white person saying the word with or without the hard R. Is very different than a black person saying it.

    There is no pass, there is no saying it in private or because it’s a lyric in a song. I had a significant black influence on my life through my step dad and his family and later my wife and her family. I’ve seen amd heard the words used against them amd them saying it amongst eachother. I was even given a talk when I was very young explaining it when I said it.

    Stucks and stones they say, well that’s just not true. Words havr power including that one. I can’t really tell if the person in the video is a black person but the context changes.
