Really, it's racist to say that only black people can use it. /s

Real talk, every time I go home, my parents throw the word around everywhere (In their home. They suck, but aren't stupid). They justify it by saying "it's just a trashy person of any color". So I tell them to go ahead use it in public to see what the response is. I still don't think they've tried it. At least not in any circles that will get them in an ass whooping situation

Father in-law was throwing it around like it was nothing last Thanksgiving and we haven't been over since.

I don't play that shit.

Every time he used it, "I'm not racist" was said soon after. Sure Dan-o, interesting word choice considering.

the venn diagram of people who say "I'm not racist" and actual racists is a circle

"There's no right to free speech anymore. Damn wokeism."

That's a fantastic response/challenge.

Essentially: put your money where your mouth is.

Narrator: they didn't.

they aren't stupid

They are stupid as fuck. Your rich ass parents are racist idiots.

[–] EABOD25@lemm.ee 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

They aren't rich. And tone it down

I will not. Your parents are racist idiots. You are rewarding them with a visit. So they put money directly in your account or do they press cash into your palm?

Now then: People have different definitions of rich/middle class. Depending on the person, let's use me as an example. I will buy a house with a loan soon. I'm not even close to middle class. In fact I think our parents were the last of the middle class.

Dude, chill the fuck out. You are directing a weird level of anger at SOMEONE ELSE'S PARENTS. Calm your ass down.

How exactly did you get to this from ‘visiting parents’?

Are you that transactional?

I hear that insane take from the same people that say BLM was Antifa’s terrorist movement.

[–] wetsoggybread@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago

Honestly they stole the word from white men, its just time for them to take back what rightfully belongs! /s
