Words shouldn’t be offensive regardless.
@TakingBackMidgard yeah but its where it comes from and what it originally ment. If a white person uses it its like they are dismissing slavery & that it ever happened. It wasn't long enough ago for it to not be thing. I'm not even American and I know that

@MushroomFaerie So many people dismiss history as a whole. The term Seletecive Outrage strike well lately. Not one nation, society, and or culture is innocent.

If someone is outraged by one persons words they should reflect on their own past before trying to preach about being just.

There’s a book called Atrocities by Matthew White that talks about the worlds top 100 deadliest episodes caused by man and it points out that nobody is innocent.
@TakingBackMidgard yeah totally but many people get emotionally triggered. Yes we all need to become better stronger people uneffected by others words but that's not the world we live in. With most words I would just say that I'm sorry your offended by my words but with the N word I feel even as a white girl on the other side of the world I totally get it
