Probably depends on where you liveNorthern Cali
It's just jarring. You go on sites like this or twitter or reddit and people on there declare that anyone who says the N word is basically human scum. Yet the younger generation seems to have adopted it into their everyday vocabulary.

Northern Caliyea, it's really racially integrated in NorCal, especially in places like Sacramento, and it's common here.

I've not heard it used any more frequently by black people, and white people use it way less.I think the R word is fine because no one medically refers to disabled or mentally handicapped people as the R word anymore. So who is it being offensive to when we use it?
Although I have noticed the R word is being used a lot more frequently for some reason.

Jesus fucking Christ.It's fine to disagree. Was merely stating an opinion.
Jesus fucking Christ.
I've had the misfortune of being around a younger crowd lately and it's always "N-word what!" or "N-word you crazy" or "N-word please"
and its a bunch of white and hispanic people, in their late teens or early twenties.
at first I thought maybe this group was just the exception, but I started watching streamers on those omegle-like sites and almost every person they meet on there just casually drops the N word in casual conversation.
I finally feel like I don't understand youth anymore.
Here we go again. So how many years do I have to wait before I can actually have a conversation in here without everyone accusing me of being a troll/alt/falseflagger?
Same stupid shit is why I left this place last time. I post an opinion and you all lose your fucking minds.
Your "opinion" is that you want to be able to call people the R word.Way to put words in my mouth. Quote me where I said I want to call people the R word.
Should've stayed gone.

Like I said in my reply, it's the younger generation growing up. As they often do, they're against the established order of things and are reversing course on a lot of PC, cancel culture, sensitivity conditioning and so forth. Anti corporate, hustle culture, blah blah blah.I was actually thinking about this earlier. Everything always seems to come full circle.

We go through an offensive era which created a politically correct era, and the people who grew up in the PC era are now desiring more risky/offensive things again.

Exactly. You're seeing a rise in popularity for violent/extreme rap again with lyrics that read as straight confessions for murder, assault, etc. Like how it was decades ago before it tampered off. A disregard for corporate mindsets or the work grind -- calling out all the time, taking classes off to focus on mental health or just to hang with friends.Do you think this societal shift will cause major changes in our political climate one of these days? If people are becoming more inwardly focused and against burnout culture maybe it'll give rise to some political figures who actually want to change things for the better.
I could list a dozen more examples of the societal shift I've seen the youth of today advocating for. They tend to be more pragmatic, inwardly focused, and are vehemently against burnout culture to just survive. They also thrive in decentralized jobs or creative endeavors. A group of their closest friends or family has infinitely more value to their morals than what their boss says, and they'd quit a job at the drop of a hat for stuff more aged generations would roll over for. Stay late? No chance. Close and then open tomorrow? Isn't happening. Etc.

Or maybe corporations and their money will keep politicians corrupt no matter what generation takes hold.
