Elon buys Twitter. Usage of the N-Word is up 500%.

Could get messy if he starts accidentally charging black people who are using their common parlance (dunno if you've ever heard or seen them talking to each other), black rappers or folks who identify as black.

The "reclaiming" argument doesn't sound like a very intelligent one. If you don't want it used you shouldn't be casually throwing it around.

From the article:

It is important to remember the complicated history that birthed the word into existence. It makes us all wonder if reclaiming a word with such volatile history can truly be accomplished. The constant debate around reclaiming the N-word suggests that we will always have complicated relationships with slurs no matter if they are reclaimed or not.

As audiences watch BLKS and other work that includes characters who are reclaiming this word, it is necessary for us to remember the context. This word does not belong to everyone, and we all need to respect its history and deeper meaning.

Nonsensical hard leftist stuff. Words don't "belong" to people or groups.
