    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…)
