G’morning people.

I was scrolling through the threads yesterday and saw a comment that made me go back a couple of threads and scroll through more comments. Just thought I’d share.

White. People. Don’t. Get. To. Use. n*****.

White people also don’t get to tell other people not to worry about a white person’s use of the word n*****.

The fact that *this* community needs to be reminded of that in 2018 is quite literally appalling. There are 3 black people who comment regularly on this site, and I haven’t seen one of them in a couple of months. That bullshit where someone uses it, and everyone ignores, cosigns, or downplays the concerns of the *one person* who had the courage to stick her neck out to mention it…made this a much less safe place for us. The joking around afterward where someone said ‘they rarely use it’, and that seemed to be fine, is actually the point where I stop paying to be here.

This is why we don’t trust you.
