Can other oppressed minorities use the N word/racial terms?
Legitimately curious as a non-Caucasoid myself seeing as its a term of endearment for Blacks to other blacks. If a Mexican, Hindu, or any non negro person uses it- are we oppressing them or practicing some undue form of cultural appropriation? As ancestors of said marginalized communities were oppressed on a much greater scale than enslavement, does it give people of non-White or non black ancestry the OK to use theword?
Thoughts?
As a Black man from the islands that knows and respect his culture, hates that word. Not because of the so called power it has over me, but because am simply too proud to affliate myself with such a useless word. So I don't care who uses it.
No one race has the power to tell you what words to use, and if anyone tell you otherwise, just tell them to go **** themsleves. Unless they approaches you with the proper respect.
Any Black man that tells you they've taken the N word back, are full of shit. Ice Cube, Jay Z for instance. If you pay attention, it's always the uneducated that says that.
One last, every damn race since the beginning of time have been slaves, Blacks need to shut the **** up and move on. If X and King had lived to see what Blacks have turned too in this day and age, they would have committed suicide. For the Black race, is the only race that haven't progress in the last 40 yrs.
Also, before some white knight comes on here and say you can't say that need to know one thing from me. Who appointed you to speak on anyone's behalf, and **** you!

Its okay until someone gets a bug up their ass and decides its not, most likely someone who was okay with it until that point, probably because you pissed them off somehow.
Best not to give anyone that type of leverage in a disagreement.
Not even going to get into your use of the term 'oppressed minority', as anyone in the US is free to be whatever they choose to make of themselves.

Ice Cube has a degree 🙂
Jay Z with no formal education has enough business-sense to amass a fortune of over 800million 🙂

The idea that any word is off-limits is stupid.
N*gger, c*nt, bla bla bla.
It's stupid to empower words so much.
Obviously, if you don't want to get fired, watch your mouth at work. And if you like your friends and they don't like those words, watch your mouth. But other than that, why oh why do people empower words so much? Stop being so sensitive.
If you're black and disapprove of the word N*gga because you believe the "legacy of slavery" is so toxic that it must be erased from public consciousness, it would behoove you to remember that the most prominent legacy of slavery is the very presence of millions of African-descended people (that would be you) in america to begin with. Therefore, all African-Americans who truly want to erase the legacy of slavery should immediately self-deport to Sub-Saharan Africa. Any takers? No? Didn't think so.

Looks like that magazine might be a hoax:
https://whyevolutionistrue.wordpress.com/2017/06/24/medusa-magazine-website-is-probably-a-hoax/
Let me explain my theory more carefully. There was a Medusa. It was a radical feminist magazine, of the type many would wish to satirize. It had a FB page. In 2012 the wind went out of its sails. In 2013, on April 1, someone with the FB password put up a post linking to the this new site, which is a satire site, in an act of magazinal identity theft.Note the sly comment about rebranding, and the lack of any further link to Syracuse. I think the satirical nature of the site is evident, having read a bunch of its articles.
On the side of “hoax” is also the fact that none of the authors’ names link to real people. And there’s also this comment by reader “Bortwell”:
Hi, Jerry.
It’s easy to prove that this website is fake. For example, take this article: https://medusamagazine.com/are-military-combat-roles-really-best-suited-to-men
The author is “Hailey Altmigi”, who supposedly has a journalism degree, but whose name appears nowhere else on the Internet. Also, “migi” is the Japanese word for “right”. So her family name translates to “Alt-right”.
Definitely a fake website, although Poe’s law makes it very difficult to tell.
Finally, reader Chakravarthy commented:
This website is satire, PCC.
The site is registered in the name of one Elijah Adiasany. This is the guy who runs the website Age of shitlords. Looking further: https://www.sockt.com/php/ageofshitlords.com or here: http://whois.easycounter.com/ageofshitlords.com
Age of shitlords is a website that is dedicated to criticizing these “SJW” types.
To me, all of this has the piscine odor of a hoax, though Chakravarthy hasn’t yet told me how he/she figured out that the site was registered in the name of Elijah Adiasany (exactly the same claim appears on another site).
If the last finding proves to be true, then I come down on the side of “big hoax”. But I’m not sufficiently convinced of that that I’d bet on it now. But if it is a hoax, is it a good one? Well, since to some of us it’s indistinguishable in the main from other sites that are Control-Left, yes, it fooled me—and others. In that sense it’s a “success” in the same way that Alan Sokal’s piece, or the “conceptual penis” article of Boghossian and Lindsay, fooled journal editors. And that shows something: that you can make up really outrageous and extreme stuff, and yet it’s indistiguishable from extreme true stuff from the Regressive Left. That says something about the Regressive Left. But we knew that already.
But if it’s a good hoax, it’s not good satire for two reasons: most of the pieces aren’t in the least amusing, and good satire is not only amusing but detectable as satire. So I’ll say to the readers that while I may well have wasted my time criticizing “Beyond pro-choice: The solution to white supremacy is white abortion”, I await further information before I’m fully embarrassed.

This. Thin skin, butt hurt, aka bleeding jayjay, transcends race, religion and political affiliation.
