“I could NEVER say the N-word to a black person”
“Even if they just savaged your family and murdered you? You would sit there, bleeding out for the last 7 seconds of your life and you STILL wouldn’t toss them one last curse to verbally wound them?”
“I dunno, it just seems too much, it wouldn’t even hurt them anyway”
“Do you wanna get real about it?”
“What, is there some secret there?”
“well, think about it. Why does being called the ‘n-word’ cause such a reaction? It reminds them of what they are.”
“well, not ALL -“
“yeah I don’t have the patience for you to hedge this and play the antiracism dance, I know what you’re saying, I’m speaking in generalities, save us the trouble.”
“Alright but I’m not really - “
“seriously this stays between us. ANYWAYS, the thing we don’t get is that their culture is different from ours. Much more status-aware, kinda like your wife looks at other people. To them, being called the N-word dredges up that fear, that they ARE all that is base, animalistic, and unbecoming. That no matter what they’ve done, they’ve reverted back to the lower state of evolution.”
“…….”
“Said it would be uncomfortable. That’s why you have old routines about how there’s a difference between blackpeople and n-words. Whatever word you give to blackness, however well intentioned, will eventually become a slur via the euphamism treadmill. Because a whole lot of black people are just awful, as anyone living among them knows.”
“well I know - “
“gary you make half a million a year, any black people in your circle are demographically hispanic, and they probably hate your guts anyways. I know, there are exceptions, keep up….the funny thing is that they think “cracker” wounds us as much as it does them.”
“doesn’t it though? Everyone’s always complaining about it”
“no, it’s not the barb that wounds, it’s the irritation that the supremely thin-skinned are allowed to live by such flagrant double standards. Nobody feels impugned to be called a cracker. There’s no shame in being white”
“well, there’s other stuff too, like wait what”
“even the term white trash basically has to preface the “trash” part with “treasure” to let you know that despite their whiteness they fail to meet that standard. Not much of a burn. And even then those kids have a lower crime rate than the black kids from 6-figure families.”
“ooof. Really?”
“yup, it’s not a fun topic but when you get it, everything makes a little more sense.”
“……can we talk about something uplifting instead?”
“You like cars?”
