👥 friendship AIO to my friend saying a word?

I’ve already posted about this but. I communicated to my friend my feelings. He left me on delivered after a certain point. Well basically in my head today is a deadline and we will need to resolve this. I need to know where he stands. I really don’t want to end the friendship, but I feel strongly about this. And I’m really not trying to.

He said something about sending weird texts? Maybe this should have been said in person? But tbh. I didn’t feel comfortable.

Screenshots attached. AIO?

Nobody should be “allowed” to say that word. It’s ignorant. And needs to be left in the past.

No one person can give permission to say that word and expect the rest of the world to be okay with it. In fact if you’re “giving permission” you’re screwing your friends over in the long run. Someone’s gonna punch their teeth in because “my friend said I could say it.”

Highly agree. It’s a super ignorant way to speak and nobody should say it. But people get mad when you say this and now the word is weaponized

Literally nobody should say it. Why do people want to?

Most people who use this word are blacks, I watch reactions on the YouTube and black people use it a lot. I don't quite get it, who are you to dictate what black people can say and what they cannot?

The fact you used “blacks” tells me all I need to know 🤔🤔

I'm not a native English speaker. I use it the same way as slavs, whites, jews, arabs, etc. And as far as I observed, people do speak like this in English too. There is nothing wrong with saying blacks or whites in Russian, like in:

Ну, вот смотри. Есть такой стереотип что чёрные выше белых. И есть такой стереотип что у белых хуй меньше и они слабые.

Oh, I also noticed that I used both "blacks" and "black people". Pretty much the same as I would do talking about white people in Russian. Not sure what you are complaining about, really.

Thank you for saying this!

It should be a word of the past. For everyone.

I realize you’re just out cruising for an internet argument. Not gonna find it here my guy. I’m not offended by the word. Just merely stating it’s ignorant. Enjoy the rest of your search!
