I always find it weird as a "foreigner" to see them saying this word constantly for talking to each other, in rap lyrics, etc but threw a temper tantrum if some people of whatever group say it.
that's so childish. but you're right, it just shouldn't be said
Did Nameless say he’s leaving? I have great empathy for him getting dunked on all night…he could have spent it with his family and *snort* friends, maybe even *stifled chuckle* his girlfriend, but instead, he decided to be a fascist rectal opening on an anime forum for our pleasure
They absolutely have to do with the murders, they are direct comments about the subject made candidly on these ghouls’ own social media profiles…I don’t disagree with the notion that all politicians are vacuous and self-absorbed, but there was once a time where any of them saying anything remotely as awful as these comments would be immediate grounds for removal from office, and it’s extremely sad that we now live in a time where this shit is so normalized.
Well, to be fair. Musk was never in office, contrary to what some journalists would have you believe.
So it's hard to, at least in Musk's case, take him out from office in this case.
As for the others, I don't really have any afinity or relation to, so I couldn't care less if they were kicked out or not.
Though for me personally, I'd much rather have a dickhead in office than some pretentious prick thinking they're better than everyone.
But I'll apologize if I've been obtuse or difficult, not my intention. I'm just tired, and I can't stop yapping.
At the end of the day, my opinion is that career politicans are mankinds biggest mistake

Temper tantrum? You mean getting upset with people using it to dehumanize black people? It only shouldn't be used in that context. In some cases other minorities from around the world use the N word in the same context that we do because they don't understand the history of it. They didn't grow up in the US or South Africa, why would we get upset with them when they learned it from our culture? Those are the ones we educate and hopefully it clicks why its offensive for other people to use it. The ones who use it and know better though, like the majority of non black people use it? They can fuck themselves. Getting upset over dehumanization isn't a black exclusive problem. White people are hardly ever dehumanized but the snowflakes still get offended over everything.
Are we really going to go down this route? What do we stand to gain from this?
I'm obviously missing some context here since you're saying he's dehumanizing a whole race of people, which if he does - I do not support or condone in any way shape or form.

Now you did kind of say it yourself, but a word only has the meaning that you give it. If you use a word with the intent and purpose of discriminating, dehumanizing, belittling or otherwise malicious intentions - then obviously that is a problem that needs to be adressed
However, while I'm speaking with some conjectures due to my ignorance of the full picture, when you have a very prominent culture in an increasingly more popular genre of music propagating the usage og the word N*g*a - it is very hard to make the claim that this word bears any malicious or otherwise discriminatory intent or association.
Make no mistake, the hard R is without a doubt a word used with malicious intent in the vast majority of cases, so I'm not making an argument there.
But when rappers use the word synonymous with "brother", then it is in my eyes, illogical to then apply some archaic meaning and historical context to the word just to fabricate racism where there was none to begin with.
In my personal opinion, I think the demand for outrage against racism far outweights the actual amount of racists out there.
But honestly, it is silly in my opinion to even base a discussion around the color of someone's skin to begin with.
