I like "bffr" (be fucking for real). I have often had need of it

[–] [email protected] 28 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I would have guessed "bro for fucking real" or something like that ... But whatever I came up with would have just been a guess.

How does saying "the N word" mean someone is "not white"?

But yes, nice if real.

[–] [email protected] 149 points 2 weeks ago (28 children)

The N word is used by 3 demographics - black people, racist people and 12 year olds playing COD

  1. You aren't allowed to / really shouldn't be say it if you aren't Black.

  2. Presumably under this notion someone anonymous who says it should be abiding that cultural norm.

  3. Meaning that if an anonymous person is saying it and you expect them to abide that norm it'd be reasonable to assume they're Black.

It's less that "white people never say the N word" and more that you absolutely should not be following someone if you believe they're as racist as that.

Replying to check for updates on this.

Begs the question.

In the USA, are there more black people using the N-word, or racists using the N-word?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

hmmm, as a percentage of the population and when considering frequency? probably black people. in plain numbers, probably the racists.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

When discussing frequency of an action, it's usually helpful to focus on per capita. This is one of those rare times where both raw numbers and per capita tell interesting stories.

Yikes... So they followed someone they thought was racist? I get the feeling they, too, might be racist.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

They followed someone they thought was "just racist"

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago

Well I mean in America, so "not actively murdering people" can, for some, be enough.

You both follow one another. If they just followed but weren't followed back, then they aren't mutuals.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 weeks ago

Ahh. Learned something! Thanks.

Average twitter conversation

Shades of Clayton Bigsby.

Doesn't actively research their mutuals' races and being so shocked someone isn't white that you have to make a post about it... does not go quite together for me.

If that's too complicated for a sentence, dude's a racist.

[–] [email protected] 66 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

He clearly assumed OP was a white racist and didn't have a problem following them, that pretty much tells me all I need to know

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 weeks ago

Well, he did call the person he thought was racist a mutual...
