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

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 40 points 3 days 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.

Best Friends Forever, Racist.

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago

I forgot I had made this post and was ... Thoroughly confused by this response.

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

But yes, nice if real.

[–] darthsid@lemmy.world 169 points 3 days ago (28 children)

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

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.

[–] FireTower@lemmy.world 16 points 3 days ago (5 children)
  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.

Begs the question.

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

[–] thedirtyknapkin@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

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

[–] DokPsy@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days 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.

Replying to check for updates on this.

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 30 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

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

[–] finn_der_mensch@discuss.tchncs.de 14 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

They followed someone they thought was "just racist"

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago

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

[–] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 45 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] Soup@lemmy.cafe 11 points 3 days ago

Ahh. Learned something! Thanks.

Average twitter conversation

Double standards.
