I mean maybe if you're quoting someone
Yes
lol
I don't use the word myself I'm just curious
Because done find it offensive
It's not about whether or not an individual person finds it offensive
That is literally irrelevant.
How so?
It's creation, and usage is inseparably tied to the dehumanization of Sub-Saharan Africans. You or another person might not take particular offense to it, but that doesn't change it's etymology and history.
Like you might not care if I say shit, and I might not care if I say shit, but shit still means shit.
Sure
It's still an explicative, and it means a particular thing which you probably don't want to mean unless you're a racist.
But just because it was made for a certain purpose doesn't mean it must be used that way
And that's what you're missing
How do you say nigga(er) in a way which isn't explicative and dehumanizing to black people?
I'm just asking if I say the word do I instantly become racist to Africans or whatever
And furthermore who actually does that
It doesn't matter
Nah you don't instantly become a racist, that's not really how racism works
But you're perpetuating the language of racism
Any usage of the word which isn't somehow insulting is in reference to the word as an insult
The essential part to me is that it's principally and essentially a racial slur
Which it is and we know this
I already got my answer so thanks for answering
