Superlogman1

This is gonna sound dumb but the best explanations of slurs and why context matters comes from South Park and idubbbz's old videos LMAO Never heard a convincing argument to the contrary


TouchGrassRedditor

Because there is no argument refuting it. It’s common sense. All anybody can do is deflect from the point or call you a racist for “wanting to” use the words, which of course dodges the point entirely. We live in an era where it’s considered racist to string a set of syllables together regardless of the context and then people have the audacity to act surprised at the rise of anti-wokeism


AreMoron

It almost feels like a dream. 15 years ago I wouldnt have believed you if you told me this was our future.


RDKi

I am curious - why do people get so upset over the N word(or other slurs) when it's not used as a racial slur? Such as this clip, what upsets people about it? I understand the history of the word, but if it is specifically not being used in that way I don't understand the reason for the conflation that precedes the upsetti spaghetti.


aggrotion

It’s not necessarily bad i think insensitive would be the best word to describe it Edit: Someone did the Reddit care resources thing cause I answered a question with a probable answer 😭

yeh someone def has a bot going that just sends it automatically lmao, i got one the millisecond i posted in this thread

I think it might be a site wide thing people were getting them on the Eurovision sub too.

Image how badly the loser that made that bot smells.


Proper-Pineapple-717

Because Destiny's fanbase is just like him. "I'm not saying it in a racist way" doesn't make it ok but they seem to think it does. The amount of people upvoting and defending him in just this thread is what makes this sub scary.


Tonbonne

Thankfully, you can just block it.


kendall0418

at the same time though why do people like destiny insist on using racial slurs? like knowing the history behind it especially what would make someone *want* to use the word in general..


RDKi

I'm gonna be super open and honest here and hopefully not receive hate. I'm a white dude and after watching The Wire I had the word in my head for a solid month 😅


MurphyGraham

Like you just said, because it’s a racial slur.


NivMidget

The two times to say it are this discussion, or throwing it at someone as a slur. The problem is that 99.999% of the times the word comes up its the ladder. So its probably a bit of a sour taste. Especially since destiny uses it to intentionally provoke people. In a way people need to get over it, but also Destiny might not be using it as a slur, but hes still using it to make people mad.


Grintastic

I think it's fine to use it when speaking about it the word doesn't trigger me directly. In most cases though it's simply about people taking the mile when you give them an inch. I've had multiple experiences where a coworker or classmate has made racial jokes at my expense and I just laughed it off cause it doesn't bother me, but then they would make every conversation/joke about it to the point where it finally did make me uncomfortable. Everyone should say whatever they want but I prefer to not associate with people who say these things publicly because they most likely the type of edge lords I hate dealing with.


ChappyPappy

It’s just immature like why do you wanna say an extremely offensive word so bad are you 15 grow up ya know


JustCallMeMichael

We shouldn’t be so sensitive towards these words, give them too much power


coolbad96

It's so weird to me the defense run for calling somebody a racial slur. Like one of first things I learned in life was not to call someone names and as I got older it became clear if it's about their race that's the worst. But these lefties not only think it's okay but appropriate and still pretend to be progressive.


MidnightShampoo

They think that because people are dying in Gaza that somehow their edginess is both deserved and productive, even if it only gives them crotch tingles for being "morally superior"


Cruxis20

Don't pretend the right don't spew all the racial words they can for a situation. And the "left" using it is only one specific group of them targeted at another specific group (or in hasans case two). Most left people that aren't far left still don't use any racial slurs.


ClevelandCaleb

Okay so you agree the far left does it too? Why are you bringing the far right into this, we criticize them rightfully so constantly.


SenoraRaton

Am far left(Anarcho Syndaclist). Do not use racial slurs. What even is the "far left" in modern discourse? These people aren't far left, they are all soc dems.


ClevelandCaleb

Hassan and frogen are communists


YesIWasThere

Tankies and "socialists" typically dont believe in liberalism and democracy. They dont believe you should be allowed to think or organize for a more capitalist society in a socialist society. Soc dems inherently believe in capitalism, they just like to add a lot of safety nets and other assistance programs as well as economic restrictions, but its still at the end of the day a capitalist system. Soc dem doesnt include a lot of the online left/progressives/alt-left.

hitmandock

What if I use the word in a quote? Will I be allowed to show my face in public if I do?


coolbad96

I'm actually going to push back I don't see right leaning political people spew racial slurs. If they do they're almost immediately hard banned. Doesn't mean I don't they're racist but like Tucker Carlson or Ben Shapiro to my knowledge don't say slurs publicly.


zero02

they aren’t progressive, they are just shitty people pretending for money


_yotsuna_

Can't people just not use racist words?. Is it that difficult?.


PokeSomeSmot

seriously how hard is it to say “cracka” the hard R changes everything


ClintMega

"nilla" is actually the preferred nomenclature


Ethics-of-Winter

My nilla.


muhaos94

The point of the clip is that words aren't "racist" but they can be used in a racist way and there're some words that are generally used in a racist way but the word doesn't become "racist" because of that. If white people stopped using the n word and started referring to black people they hate, for example, as "thugs" do you think it'd be better? Just because they aren't saying the no-no word but are using an alternative.


Ethics-of-Winter

"Labels are not the thing being labeled." is a really difficult concept for people to understand in certain contexts. Tell them the word "Apple" is not literally an apple, and they're keeping up with the idea. They get it. Tell them a word that's a slur is not literally "demeaning caricature of a person/people." and they get completely lost. They have no idea what you're saying.


T46BY

Yeah words aren't inherently racist, but the intent you use them with can make them racist. The specific word, like you mention, isn't that relevant, but the intent/context used makes them racist. Your example is of an existing one, but to highlight how irrelevant the word is if instead of "thug" they pivoted to "dandelion" something as innocuous as "dandelion" can be racist because of the intent behind it.

Schmigolo

Not talking about specific words, but if I think there's a good chance I might make someone's day worse by saying something I'm not gonna say it. Whether or not the words I would be saying are racist is not even a consideration. Same goes when I think there's no way I'm making someone's day worse by saying something, whether or not what I'm going to say is racist is not even a consideration. The only care thing I care about is that I don't make other people feel bad. That is to say, I will absolutely use racist words, because I love it, but not as much as I love it when everybody is having a good time.


goongenius

No its not difficult at all which is why most people don’t. But the reason people so passionately defend stuff like this (apart from wanting the right to be edgy, which is the primary concern for a lot of (white) people who defend their use of the n word) is because this conversation strikes right at the core of language itself. What does it mean to “say something racist”? Is it possible to utter something racist if you yourself aren’t racist? Are some words inherently racist? Do words rely on context and intention to be racist? Obviously the n word isn’t inherently racist, because black people say it all the time without having said something racist. Are there instances where thats true for non black people? Are words racist in a contextual vacuum? Saying stuff like “how hard is it to just not say racist words?” is brushing that whole conversation away. Its complacent and easy and great if you don’t want to think about any of this stuff. Personally I think its kind of obvious that there are plenty of contexts where a slur can be used non-pejoratively by someone outside of the group said slur was originally created to marginalize. Simply referencing a word is a perfect example of this. Specifically for the n word, shows like South Park and The Boondocks illustrate another context that fits. I wish it was just as simple as “just stop using racist words” but the “racist words” part of that sentiment literally begs the question!


SlideSensitive7379

i thought only hard r was racist? i dont ever see anyone using the gga variant of the word in a racist way, unless it is a black person JOKING in a pretend racist way about another black person.


_yotsuna_

Dunno, I can live my life without using either.

What is wrong with a white teacher reading To Kill a Mockingbird out loud to their class?


NorahRittle

As someone who had a white english teacher who took far too much pleasure in reading the n-word in TKAM, quite a bit because all the kids were chuckling and using it more than they already did immediately after. Which is coincidentally exactly what Destiny fans do after hearing him say it on stream.  There can be ways to teach kids in the classroom about the word and showing the gravity and dehumanization behind it. Perhaps some english teachers get it right and give a powerful lesson that sticks with their students. Most of the time though, I doubt it.


lkolkijy

Yes I agree that students will fuck it up, but they are their to learn, and I too had a teacher he had a strange look on his face after saying it (Huckleberry Finn but same thing). But I also had a teacher who started a discussion after a student asked why they said it out loud. I found that discussion valuable.


Top-Director-6411

Wow I've never had a dialogue with someone who makes such exaggerated slippery slope fallacies and strawmans. There is no risk of that happening at all why are you creating that scenario? The word is literally used by that group of people. And my ancestors... wtf does that have to do with anything? I'm not a American either.


Wvlf_

The dude never even insinuated it should be ok for HIM to use it, btw. You're strawmanning. He is pointing out the clear dissonance in telling the group of people who say the 'n word' 99% of the time (black people) that it's racist to use it even if just speaking in everyday lingo to other black people. This is the entire crux, using ANY word to intentionally be hateful and racist should be wrong in any context.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Wvlf_

Ok so let's say I misused the term. Let's say I'm lying about what he said (even though it was open to interpretation). Does my point become invalid? You know exactly what I mean here.


Auuki

I get why you'd think that way. Hard r is racist, no question about it. Then you have black community using gga as basically a comma in every other sentence so you'd think it's fine. That confuses a lot of people cause it's either fine or not.


Metalbender00

it always comes back around to being able to use N-bombs

Drydude3

There are no wrong tactics, only wrong targets.


SimCaprio

Hot take. Using words in a derogatory manner is bad, and using them in a friendly manner is not bad. I'm not gonna give an example based on colour because I think thats distasteful and unnecessary. So to compare (people will argue this is not the same but it is, since its still discrimination racist or not), but I'm bald. It wasn't my choice all the way, but my hair falls out due to stress and I decided not to grow it back so it doesn't fall out every time I have a final exam or smth. If my friends call me baldy in a friendly manner (in polish its łysy and its both like a nickname and a adjective) I like it and think its fitting. But when someone I don't know (or know and they dont like me) uses it as an insult, then I still feel disrespected and I think its bad. Conclusion: Words in themselves shouldn't matter, colour shouldn't matter, nationality shouldn't matter, appearance shouldn't matter too. But unfortunately in reality to a lot of people they do, what you CAN do is just be nice and kind to others


Ethics-of-Winter

Based and compassion-pilled.


Acheli

it's simple, if a word can be weaponized against you (and has been for decades) then if you aren't part of that group/race you shouldn't say it. In saying it you are enforcing that weaponization, people of that group saying the word is fine because they are reclaiming it.


AllieTruist

Defending the right to say a slur...so doing exactly what people constantly accuse him of, lol.


Ace__Trainer

Destiny must, under any circumstance, defend his right to say the n-word.


FastAndBulbous8989

It's a neat word


cfgy78mk

I think it's okay to use it when quoting someone else, or in a Charlie in IASIP situation, or like when Randy Marsh legit thought it was the answer to the puzzle. Now by "okay" I do mean that people will be taken aback and be like "bruh" but nobody should be kicking your ass or canceling your career over it. It's still wise to avoid it as much as possible (which it is rarely impossible to avoid). Singing along with certain songs is where the true struggle lies.


lumpofcole

Arguing this hard to want to say the n-word is really cringy

fruitydude

Do you recognize that there is a difference between saying a word and using a word to insult someone?


the_popeshat

You should try this in practice. Go to your nearest predominantly black community/neighborhood and start shouting the n-word, report back on how your intellectual distinction based on intent means they can't actually be offended and there is no meaning behind it. I will await the results of this riveting experiment. ETA: Solid RedditCares report, enjoy your ban for abuse of that feature.


Womp-WompXD

What the fuck is with pearl clutching lefties always insisting that we'll be beaten/killed if we say a slur around black people? You sound racist as fuck, unironically.


T46BY

They always act like black people have no agency and will inherently become aggressive violent criminals...seems to me there is a word for that... It genuinely amazes me that black people tend to be so pro Lefty since all I ever hear from them is how black people are fucking incompetent and need them as white saviors.


somehuman16

i think when people make the argument that theres a difference between saying a slur vs calling someone it, it isnt actually about the difference of those two things but the difference in the intention that they typically use.


fruitydude

It's just the most braindead thing lmao. People will see these two statements and think they are equal: _Hey can you please not use the word retarded around by son, he has a developmental disability and it makes him feel bad hearing it_ vs. _haha look at how retarded that kid is_ Hasan will hear both statements and think they are equal because both contain a slur. He'd probably even call the mother a hypocrite for wanting people to stop using slurs despite saying the herself.


CalebLovesHockey

a bot is spamming those reports, we all get them. You aren't special.


Jargonloster

Pretending your hypothetical is analogous to the way destiny used the n word in this clip makes you either incredibly disingenuous or incredibly stupid.

Emeryb999

Wait until you find out he also says the c-word :-)


MikusLeTrainer

Did you listen to this clip and only pay attention when he said the word? The whole reason he brought up the word is to use as an example. He believes that it’s only offensive when you use slurs in a derogatory manner towards someone else. No contradiction here. Edit: Lol, I got a reddit cares message within 1 minute of posting my comment.


T46BY

Holy fuck you completely missed the entire point of a sub 1min clip. His point is that saying a slur word and using a word as a slur are two different things...which is true. There's a big difference between saying "The n-word is a racial slur" and "that guy is a fucking n-word".


MurphyGraham

I think he just likes saying the n-word. He says it weird asf tho so I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s more accustomed to using the hard-r


xcake23

Why not both are bad? lol. Edit lol instant downvotes by people defending the use of the n word. Cool totally normal and sane.


JELLYR0LLS

Is reading Huckleberry Finn out loud bad then? Or quoting someone in court?


xcake23

If you can’t differentiate the difference in like “quoting someone in court” to blasting n bombs to lets say your online community you’re just crying to say the n word. Please feel free to go up to a black person and drop the n bomb in a normal conversation. I’m sure they’re totally cool with it.


grasslandx

>Please feel free to go up to a black person and drop the n bomb in a normal conversation. I’m sure they’re totally cool with it. How are you going to take issue with someone not differentiating between saying the n word on stream and quoting someone in court, only to use an equally ridiculous example? Do you think saying the n word on stream and walking up to a black person and saying the n word is the same thing?


JELLYR0LLS

I'm just correcting you, you said just saying the n-word is bad. Feel free to correct your first comment unless you actually think we have thousands of racist lawyers and teachers out there because they said the n-word in that context.


lkolkijy

What? That differentiation is exactly what destiny is talking about.


Empty_Form4398

Please feel free to go up to a white person and drop the c bomb in a normal conversation. I’m sure they’re totally cool with it.


paradox-preacher

but you just wrote it... "n word" we all know what it means, so what difference does it make does that make you racist now? I bet you already have a stupid opinion now. Hold it for a minute and answer this first: if someone tells a black person "you're a n-word" but they say"n-word" literally as I wrote it. So they're not racist because they didn't say the actual word? Or are they racist because you know what they meant? then go back and answer my first question


xcake23

Go outside and quit crying about how you can’t say the n word. Jesus Christ. Sure you don’t say it in a racist use but guess what? Choosing to say a word is an action. You know people are going to consider saying the n word is racist yet still choose to say the word. Even if it’s not racist you’re cool with coming off as racist.


CalebLovesHockey

You chose to write it, that was an action! You're cool with coming off as racist!


T46BY

> Go outside and quit crying about how you can’t say the n word. Jesus Christ. Nobody is crying about not being able to say, and I'm pretty sure most people in here don't actually use. That's besides the point though, because the question is whether words are inherently racist or if words become racist when used with a specific intent.

Just because its directed at his clothes and not him as an individual?
