They need to make the word uncool. Black people and everyone should just stop using the word. Words disappear overtime, and languages change. Or have you ever heard people using words like these in normal conversation?

I'm sure black people really give a fuck what a dude from a country with almost no black people thinks.

So if someone who lives in a country with more black people and say the same thing they would be right?

No, the only people whose opinions matter on the issue are black people.

So, my opinion, even if i'm right, doesn't matter because i'm white? That's pretty strong argument lol.

You have no grasp on the black experience in America or elsewhere, so yes, your opinion is irrelevant, invalid, and wrong.

Talk about? No. Determine what Jews can say or find offensive/acceptable within their communities? Yeah.

We are asking if banning the N word is racist, not saying we should ban the privilege of a race being able to say it.

Yeah, not banning, just stopping using the word by choice. Thing is i meant that people should take the "power" away from the N word, and let it be forgotten. Its racist word, and its weird to me that black people call themselves and other black people N word , yet they get offended when white people uses it. Therefore it is toxic and hurtful word, right? Its reminder of the horrible past as well.

I never meant that i know how black people feel in US, or that i'm expert in anything. I'm just strictly talking about one word.

Just needed to explain this to someone because the person i kept replying to failed to give me any counter argument over what i said earlier.

The power *is* gone when used between black people. Again, you clearly have no grasp of the history or the situation here.

If I'm not mistaken, Kings case is a little murkier (him claiming his mother put a white mans name on the birth certificate due to interracial relationships being frowned upon)

Dolezal has two confirmed white parents and simply pretended she was black.

Dolezal is a white woman. King is, as far as literally anyone knows, light-skinned multiracial. The only thing saying otherwise is a conspiracy theory from fucking Breitbart.

Her skin may be white however she does identify as a black woman.

Obviously, you can ban anything from a message board because its in the TOS. You can't post nude pics here, but you can't ban nude pics in real life.

I'm sure its banned now for everyone from saying at work. Now, I think it would be illegal to say black people could say it and white people couldn't say it.

It was banned several years ago in the NFL. I clicked the article thinking it was about racism, but it was about casual use.
