It’s not that he can’t say it but I think it’s about context. Us growing us in the West have to live with the history of that word and having it thrown at us by the people who created it. I think using it casually when you didn’t grow up somewhere where the word has direct context takes the meaning out of it. I’m British and while the word does affect us as it does Americans, I find it ‘corny’ that we started using it in our music and speech. So for people born and raised in Japan, it’s even more detached because unlike the US or the UK, it’s not a white country built by the Trans-Atlantic slave trade. But your Blackness isn’t defined by your ability to use the N Word, there’s so much more than that. There’s plenty of Black people who choose not to use the word.

I understand that feeling but a bit differently. I grew up in America as a Japanese American. I learned English and reading/writing Japanese growing up. However didn't really speak too much Japanese growing up. I spoke to my dad in English. I live in Japan currently and while I am Japanese and an American, it's hard to feel like you truly belong either place.
My thing is , they better not tell Fredrick Douglas to not say it. Even if we hate to acknowledge our certain history , (African Americans besides the 18-900’s generation ) are not 100% sub saharan African with 15-25% caucasian dna. There are a-lot of some mixed ancestral black dna historians who fought hard for us that aren’t full blooded african people that are known but, aren’t accepted by modern day black historians for much . I pray for many of our black biracials as well

You right. I guess the discussion would be that if any black person could use the "n-word" or only those have ancestors who were slaves could use the word. But growing up in a racially monolith country like Japan is different type of experiences which others couldn't relate fully either is what I am guessing. It's a topic worth the discussion

@@GOLDNRUSHPODCAST I appreciate that ya’ll give different perspectives, not a lot of people can see different perspectives from both different backgrounds and will acknowledge the work we all put in. We are human at the end of the day and should work towards understanding and integrating each others culture.💯 I applaud you guys for sharing different cultures with a monolith ethnic group🙏🏽✨

@@GOLDNRUSHPODCAST you’re the voices to alot of mixed race children and are making a change step by step, culturally and mentally. I’ll say this tho, it’s more socially acceptable if you’re African American to say the n-word than other African diaspora and mixed black ones because of history and context.
