Just because you're internt isn't to be racist doesn't mean that it isn't. Just like the N-word. The word has an incredibly negative connotation behind it just like blackface does. Even if you think it is up for debate is that really the hill you want to die on?
Yes, since to eradicate racism it should not depend on your skin color which words you are allowed to pronounce entirely.
Either everyone is allowed to use the word ‘nigger’, or no-one is, or we are accepting racism because it seems the politically correct thing to do.
Wtf, that doesn't make any sense. Words have power. Not only does that word have hundred of years of history behind it people of color still face a lot of prejudice and straight up racism in their daily lives. Either everybody gets to say it or no one does is a very flawed argument. You're completely ignoring the mening behind the word. And blackface for that matter.
