if you're talking about history of course it's gonna show up

@Dear Mason Yeah you can use it in a context where you're not insulting anyone

But like

if you're talking quintin tarrentino

that's just a reference to the slur

Indeed

he gives out more N word passes then Obama

It cannot be divorced from its history as an insult

Sure

Which is why niggas get so made when white niggas say nigga

But you can use it in a different way than an insult

Like any word

Using it to refer to it historically is fine

Or discussing it with someone in my opinion

How could you "discuss" it outside of it's historical usage in a non-insulting way?

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

I already gave you an example of how to say it without making it an insult so

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

Black man bad
