New Miss Teen USA from Texas will keep crown after using racial slurs online

43. I think you're actually responding to a different thread?

The one about people using it at work? This thread has nothing to do with using it in the workplace. I am not defending it's usage at all and particularly anywhere outside the black community. What I am doing is not getting outraged that a white future beauty pageant winner used the word as a term of affection in her social media posts when she was 15. She also called a friend 'bitch' in one of the posts. Teenagers post stupid stuff like that online and regret it years later when they mature . If you've never seen it on facebook I guess you've either not seen too many teenagers facebook feeds or you run with a higher socio-economic class than I do.

Donald Drumpf is well outside the age group that uses it non-pejoratively. I don't know any one who would be ok with him using it for any reason.

But even using your description where in the world is this kind of language popular than among close friends or in the black community?!!?

Not sure if you're asking where it's popular outside of or inside of the black community, but St Pete , Florida, with the younger crowd, it was common with both a couple of years ago, and I still overhear it being used fairly often.

I have to get off the laptop, so don't take it as an offense (or victory) when I don't respond if you reply. Have a good day and thanks for your replies.
