    Isn’t she using the word in the familiar sense, not as a pejorative? I don’t care much either way, it’s just a beauty pageant after all, but this doesn’t seem like racism to me.


    In one December 2019 post she wrote: “N*gga I’m toxic asf…i dont care lol”

    Other posts from the same account include:

    “this n*gga has me 50 shades of fucked up…” (April 2017)

    “if my n*gga don’t like you i don’t like you .” (March 2017)

    “your girl don’t like me but yo n*gga doesssss” (February 2017)

    “not yo n*gga” (April 2017)

    A lengthy post accusing another woman’s “WCW” of “flashing random n*ggas and letting em take shots off her all spring break while u was at home working being loyal.”

      Is she black? I feel like you don’t get to say it ever, if you’re not black.

      The other thing is that even if it wasn’t racist, it doesn’t follow their standard of conduct.

        This is why I try to avoid listening to any music that has the N word in it. If I’m not allowed to say it, I don’t want it running through my subconscious. I don’t want to place landmines in my vocabulary. That rule kinda sucks though because there are some great songs that use it. I want to be able to sing along with songs that I’m grooving on without having to self censor.
