Some people in my complex say I called someone the N word last July while I was out of my mind.
I don't recall it but am convinced that they are telling the truth. Finally I got the guy to give me an elbow pump and say "We're cool".
Why must a word have so much power to enrage people. I have been called ugly racial slurs and my attitude is "Sticks and stones can break my bones but words shall not hurt me."
See, my hope is that we can somehow change the meaning of the N word. I tell people I am the most illest N ever.
I have a criminal record, dropped out of college, was homeless and often unemployed, been a welfare and free handout parasite, and lack common sense and prudence and have drug history. Why can't the N word apply to me and such people of any ethnicity??? It would make so much more sense if the word didn't apply to educated, law abiding, compassionate, and wise people of any ethnicity.
6 billion people could call me any racial slur at the same time, including the media, congress, and president (lol), and I'd find it amusing to be honest.
My ethnicity is demonized all the time. I just wonder why people forget how many hundreds of thousands of Caucasians sacrificed their lives and shed their blood to stop slavery and white privilege. Oh well! Life isn't fair and I've come to terms with it.
Why can't the N word become cross cultural?
The word "gay" used to mean happy. Now it is rarely used in that context. The word has simply changed in meaning or we have grown in our understanding of what the word actually means. LOL! Why can't we do that with the N word so people are less enraged by it?
