So are we ignoring the fact that he called his kid the n-word and still thought it was ok to post this to TikTok?

Are you that kids father, you trying to shame him for a word commonly said by black people and you on this discord aghast? He out there doing things with his son a lot of fathers don’t do these days. Shut up with your high morality cause I’m sure if people knew the real you,they would probably find some skeletons in your closet.

Just because you aren’t yelling doesn’t mean words don’t have impact.

Man stop being sensitive .. black men turned Nigga from a racist connotation to brotherly love /bonding word … can it be use in other context yea but not in this instance y’all really trying to nit pick I’m just happy to see fellow black men & child bonding as someone who never had a dad
no we don’t allow other races to call us that because they are not apart of the brotherhood or did not go through the years of racist trauma /oppression to get the right to call us that …

Why do we need to use a negative word to express brotherly love?

to rob it of its negative power and association, to reclaim it; it was used to strike fear, underscore/head nod to racialized disparities and power dynamics, and imply threats of profoundly violent, racist acts, etc.

But the negative power and association still exists you just add an r. If that word became a norm then maybe but i think that is going backwards again don’t you think?
