    Not really to your comment, but adjacent to it.

    Here’s something that most people need to know. Not all black people feel the same way about that word.

    Some called me an “N-word” in a positive way and were okay with me using it around them (I wasn’t). Some only want other black people to use it. Some don’t want anybody saying it.

      A lot of white men with a lot of black friends very often make one crucial error:

      That N-pass is only good for your friends.

        As a white person in a committed relationship with a black person, no. It’s always a trap! Never say it! (Jk I know everyone is different, but I will never)

        As is any reclaimed slur when you’re not part of said social minority. (e.g. removed, dyke…)
