I protested for the glory of the empire?

Dunno about that tbh

Your sooooo confidential wrong my kid, the word is from European slavers before the US even existed as a state, go read some history books before you post.

-.-

Yeah sure you think the US is the reference for all of us, you dont even bother looking that my instance ending which is .de, you claim there are is not even a fraction of a percent not living in the US without any evidence, you falsely claim terms are from US which aren’t and you just fire only bad faith discussion and slurs, defending the use of words which are racial slurs nearly everywhere on the world because you obviously know nothing of history and colonialism yet you think the I am the ignorant one.

I really hope you are a troll or a minor, otherwise I would have to feel bad for someone so confidential wrong, as you just have to had no education and never read a book.

P.S: if you are not a troll and willing to learn, maybe read some spivak (can the subaltern speak) or Gramci (prison notebooks)

Then you maybe get of your high horse and see why people like me are trying to change hegemonial culture instead of boot licking like you

Or st least open Wikipedia once, and you will see the word was used to discriminate in the 16 hundreds while the US was founded in the 17. Hundreds.

The Information is no secret, you just choose to ignore it

German wiki, but I am sure your native language is available as well https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neger

Are you completely braindead?

Yes it comes from the european word you mentioned which just meant all blacks, WHICH WAS USED AS A SLUR AT THE TIME!

Thats exactly the point, it is a word from a time where people where just openly racist AF and a black skin color was sinonimous with “deserves to be enslaved, subhuman, animal” BECAUSE EUROPEANS AT THE TIME THOUGHT THAT ABOUT ALL BLACK PEOPLE!!

SO THE WORD MEANS BOTH: “ALL BLACKS” AND “SUBHUMAN PIECE OF SHIT”

THAT’S EXACTLY WHY DECENT PEOPLE DONT USE IT!!!

You are clearly a very mislead or purposely malicious person

Ofc facists around the world influence each other, but thinking Americans invented it? You ever heard of colonialism? Where the n word was invented? Yeah that’s a European invention not american.

Are you dumb or just uninformed?

At least here in germany the Nazis heavily used it and gassed blacks, no american influence need to make decent people avoid it.

True, but it would be nice to add that you dont want back to this ugly time if you choose to post such slurs, as this is sadly not a far Ben anymore in most parts of the world

Broo, is this a new strategy by Russian bots? second n-bomb in this community in one day, wtf.

I am not an advocate of trying to erease it from history either.

Doesn’t mean one needs to reproduce it though.

There is a middle ground, which is to contextualize/frame it.

Uncritically using the word in posts (even if its a repost of some old document) isn’t the way imho.

So reproducing racism is ok if someone else at a different time wrote the original?

I honestly dont see your point.

But dislike like ratio on my comment seems to indicate I am in a minority here

Cool n-bomb you got there, would be a shame if someone downvoted it
