ok i wanna say sth about this...
i, as a black person, didn’t know about this. i didn’t know that it was considered racist to say these words. &yes i agree, many of the words listed below have become slang and most of us use them on a daily basis +

+ i don’t think you should get hated for it. however, it’s not anyone’s place to tell the people who are affected by it that they can’t get offended by it. you don’t know what they’ve been through or what it’s like to be them and to say it’s overreacting is just ignorant.

my personal opinion about this is that now that you know some people will be offended by these words, try to not use them. +

+ and to the people who will get offended by these words: just unfollow and/or block people using these words. don’t hate on them. while you may have gone through some shit, you also have to acknowledge that these words, for better or worse, are part of internet slang nowadays. +

+ 90% of the people using these words probably have no bad intentions.

thank you for coming to my ted talk.
