apparently it was used by slaves to describe other slaves

^ Speaking of words. Ever hear the terms zipperhead, gook, slant?

yes

Yellow

Idk who to believe anymore; I've been using this term to describe snobby white people my entire life

I spend more time than I would care to admit on wikipedia pages on racial slurs.

There's a bunch of other racist terms for other people that have far worse history than the N word

ok so it turns out that the word "uppity" was first used in songs written in "slave dialect"

Most of that would much rather not be said. 🎃

this is just what I needed to learn after writing an essay that I honestly feel is unintentionally condescending

isn't the n-word just the word for black in another language?

no

I believe words only have as much power as you give them. The asians (myself included by half) didn't care. And the power of the words died out. And now they're rarely heard. And no one cares. You call a korean a gook and they've never heard it. You call a japanese person a zipperhead (as offensive as that is) and they've never heard it. Because Asians never let the word have power over them. I believe even the n-word should be said until it has no power.

It's spelled different but it actually has a meaning to it

hard r and soft a aren't directly from those languages

the spanish word for black is

Just a quick reminder: If you say the n-word or something close to the n-word, you will be warned.

hard R and all, I believe the word should be said until everyone is freed from the power it's been given. A word shouldn't have that much command over people.

A word basically loses all power once it's used way too much

wow you can't say the word for black in spanish here

It's basically if you say the word fuck on a daily basis

That word you were taught not to say back in the day just becomes another word in your daily vocabulary

Discord may ban this server if the word is used.

PFFT

But really, let's look at asian culture in America for a sec. They the most successful, no one can say a racist thing about them that would bother them enough to cause an uproar, they have very tight families, it's exactly opposite of everything our politics are fighting about today.

I'm really starting to believe these movements are fighting to change anything but instead are just looking to get attention
