Yeah it’s different down here. All the history down here, plus some of the older white folks still using that word… ugh.

And KRS One is one of the best MCs of all time imho!

This might sound dumb, so bear with me.

I grew up in a super poor city, predominantly black. All my friends from there listened to hip hop where it was used a lot, they said it, their families said it, etc…

What I did was sub that word with another when I was singing. It became a habit. I thought that was a better idea than getting into the habit of singing it, where I might slip up and say it around them (since it was commonly used around there).

It’s a lot easier to create a new habit than break an old one, you know?

Don’t say it. That’s the rule.

You get a pass from a black friend? Cool. Still don’t say it.

Come up in a black neighborhood, only white kid, they say “it’s cool” because y’all grew up together? Don’t say it.

It’s about respect. If you’re not black, don’t say it.

The Onion is essentially real news now in the USSA.

Okay, I laughed incredibly hard at this comment 😂

Jesus has been pretty silent since that whole “death” thing. Like every other human.

Holy dementia, wtf is he even talking about?

HOW IS THIS MAN PRESIDENT?!

Edit: He’s also lying (surprise).

Trump: “There should be no consequences for my actions.”

Some form of reincarnation. Maybe not the type that gets glorified in media, etc., but some kind.

Thankfully, there’s Lemmy. Makes me appreciate it even more when I read stuff like this.

Is the beta open?

“The Trump Administration has a zero tolerance policy for criminal behavior …”

Dude that’s your entire administration. Have some self-awareness, you orange, sagging, coffin dodging oxygen thief.

It’s a racist shithole.

I was actually just making a joke that I found funny. That was all.

I get where you’re coming from, but are you actively attacking the government right now?

I think those who are part of the government have a greater chance of effecting change.

Moreover, I live in a red state (currently), and although our TST congregation is small, we do quite a bit.

Or just bitching about how other people aren’t doing enough?

Why not both?

Good strategy. IIRC, this is how German citizens stopped the rise of Hitler.

😐 <— me, being totally surprised.

I wouldn’t even tell trump what time it was, let alone something this hugely important. Trump should feel snubbed, because he’s an untrustworthy piece of taco shit.

Good on Ukraine.

I’m so sorry 😔.
