Do You Feel Like It’s Never Proper To Use The “N” Word?
Many fear saying it, do you?
At a very young age, I was taught that the N-word was a bad word. My parents would say it all the time! I thought, “why can you say it, but when I say it, the playing field changes?” Man, I would get in all kinds of trouble when I’d drop the “N” word!
As I grew older, I started to say it a little, but people would get upset with me. In return, it caused me to retreat a little and not say it as much as I’d like.
The N-word is a fun word when used correctly. Hell, I have read it is a beautiful way to communicate if used at the right time for the right reasons.
Many hate this word. They feel it’s disrespectful, but disrespect is when someone gets upset when you say it. It’s a word with a lot of meaning and is used everywhere. It’s a word with a lot of power as you get older. It’s a universal word among all races, but most don’t know how to use it properly.
How do you use the N-word?
Is it in your vocabulary?
“No” is liberating when used correctly but can have a whole different meaning to many people.
If someone doesn’t respect you, when you use it to set a boundary, they are showing you who they are.
Believe them.
