I must've heard the N word over 100 times today in class.
Had a hella interesting class today in my Minorities in America class. Spent the last 40 minutes of class talking about everyone's opinion of the N word, both spelling types. All because some non black person made a scenario where he used the "er" version of the N word, and also said the "c" word about white people, and most of the black folks took offense, as well as some non blacks. He said something like how some racist people can say "Oh look at those N/gers on the corner with their 40s, and those C/ckers drinking moonshine out of the bathtub". That's not the problem though. The problem was when each person took their turn to speak about what they thought about the word and whether he went too far, they spit the word out like sunflower seeds. just one after another. Had I known they were gonna say it so much, I would tallied that shit. Each person was like saying shit like "yeah, I get offended when you say N. If I'm chillin' with my friends though and they say what's up my N, then I don't mind, cause it's like they my N. But you gotta be careful when saying N, cause if you say N around the wrong person, then might beat you down for saying N, so you saying N/ger or N/ga is something you should be saying". And a bunch of other bunch of varied opinions. And the folks who were mixed with Mexican threw in some "B" words as well, and I'm like damn. You guys can shut the fuck up. We get your point. It was really fuckin' annoying. It was a good conversation, and nobody got out of hand, but people were having a ball with that word today. I know it's a class about minorities, but damn, don't get too comfortable with dropping racial slurs, even if it's not in an offensive context. You still gotta limit yourself. Stupid mufuckas.
