In reply to the discussion: my friend said, "it is never, ever okay for white people to say (n-word)." [View all]nofurylike
(8,775 posts)but this one seems more genuine, yes?
okay, so, "Let's say you" call a friend. your friend would understand, hopefully even admire, your prefacing your reproduction of Chris Rock's routine with, "when i reach a certain offensive word beginning with N, i will, instead, say 'bleep,' but you'll get the rest, completely!"
not a bit detracting, though clear use of that word would diminish it.
"the very act of enjoying racially explicit black comedy" does not make a white person a racist - most could learn a lot from it.
repeating it, leaving in that word? i bet it would be spoken with relish, don't you think?
but it would also cause many black people to look at each other with a pitying look for the white person doing it; and many to be disgusted, or angered.
thank you, again, more, Fool Count!
