Except "well now Morgan wallen will make n worrd music" isn't a valid excuse for a black man speaking on his experiences. You don't control what I post or what Kendrick raps about and never will. Take the fake outrage elsewhere, I'm not buying that fake trash.

Just like you can’t stop the criticism of gay people about man's usage of f-slur and you never will. 

But by your own words, you can *keep crying* about their criticism and add few more posts to your already +50 count in the thread. 

 

And the posts i quouted were response to Cutthroat and he didn't mention Morgan anywhere in his posts so you are the only one with fake trash excuses here.

I’m not going to engage with people who are defending a straight man using a gay slur, but I do want to just generally apologize to any gay people reading this who have to, on a forum comprised primarily of LGBTQ+ people, defend being offended by it. Y’all are being gaslit and it’s really sad. I honestly didn’t expect people would be grasping at straws to defend this pretending that “context” is ok.

 

We all know that other marginalized communities get extended far more empathy when people use slurs against them in any “context”, and despite the exact same logic, people want to gaslit LGBTQ+ people into thinking it’s “not the same.” It’s the exact same logic whether people want to admit it or not. It’s so disheartening to read people grasping at straws to defend this, as well as people having to defend why they’re offended by the use of a slur used seven times.

@Planet Mars Don't know what we're qualifying as trending on Twitter, but outside Twitter it all seems pretty positive so far

 

It's very clearly pro-LGBT but still, the overuse of the word was a bit much and gays have a right to feel a certain way about it. Even the white gays too

The day I chose humanity over religion
The family got closer, it was all forgiven
I said them F-bombs, I ain't know any better
Mistakenly I didn't think you'd know any different
See, I was taught words was nothing more than a sound
If everything was pronounced without any intentions
The very second you challenge the **** I was kicking
Reminded me about a show I did out the city
That time I brung a fan on stage to rap
But disapproved the word that she couldn't say with me
You said "Kendrick, ain't no room for contradiction
To truly understand love, switch position
'******, ******, ******,' we can say it together
But only if you let a white girl say '*****'"

Powerful.

SO powerful.

The ending of the song where it says "let's say the eff-word (idk why its censored) together" and brings up the hypocrisy of him not letting that white girl rap the n-word is kinda awks cause isn't him using the eff-word repeatedly throughout the song implicitly giving permission for whites to use the n-word then? It muddles whatever point he was trying to make. I'm not really sure what his stance is. Is it supposed to be ambiguous?

 

Overall I really don't care because the song is good and I like its overall narrative/story but others have the right to be offended.

N-word =/= ***… Damn some white people are so stupid. It’s disgusting at this point.

[Into The Void]

Idk about this situation but if a white person repeated the n word in a song and then said why it was not ok to say it would get blasted. Its not the same if course but does the f slur need to be said to make the pt come across. Idk.

Neither term should be used by anyone outside of their respective communities. This is a simple point and I'm not sure why many are struggling to grasp it.

What does this have to do with white people? He is literally the one comparing both words in HIS song

 

The song misses its whole point if he actually ends up saying it. I don't know why some are acting dense on purpose, if some people aren't offended that's fine, but some of you aren't going to gaslight us into being ok with it. He isn't going to face any repercusions, not that I am asking for them, but yeah it's simply pointless if he actually says it and that's my opinion as well as many others in the thread, including poc.

He should’ve just omitted the word. Any purpose it serves in the song is nullified by the word’s understood meaning regardless of context. That being said, I don’t see any reason to burn him at the stake for an attempt at a positive gesture

[CBC]

He's DL we once hooked up

[selena_lavigne]

so, i think the song has good moments but littering it with that slur was unnecessary and i am just left puzzled.

[Death On Two Legs]

I don’t understand why he had to rap the slur three times?? The message is positive, however.

He’s a true poet, and we love a male rapper who is acknowledging his own previous ignorance and for a creating/releasing a pro-LGBT anthem in the making. 
 

Yep   

 

thankfully the gays melting down on here are irrelevant

bUt hE sAiD tHe *** 

 

This debate is really bringing out the complete lack of critical thinking skills on the internet smh 

[Darkgalord]

Yikes.

He should apologize tbh...

[Ferret]

This drama over a word. Kim theres people that are dying

[BobBertran1992]

Yeah, even though his intentions are good, his usage of THAT slur and his wrong use of pronouns ruin the purpose of the song. Also, the narrative ''My auntie is a man now'' is kinda tiresome (he was always a man).

If you're straight, just don't say the f-slur. It's not difficult, I swear.

 

[Sesame]

Why is Kendrick, a straight man allowed to say it, when on ATRL gay people aren’t allowed to say it to reclaim the word?

- Both often the last thing these people heard before they were hate crimed/killed

 

- Used to discriminate and dehumanise a minority

 

- Both used on people for something they can't change or control

 

- Both reclaimed

 

Plus show me a country where it's illegal to be black and punished with death (legally! Not through a ****** up prison system aka the United States)
