Facepalm

When a non-black person sings a rap song, they are supposed to omit the n-word.

Eh

It's not as cut and dry as it used to be.

Even a decade ago, Ice Cube made eye contact with me at a concert and said it's weird if we dont sing it when singing along. Like, he said it to the whole audience I'm just tall as fuck, was standing up front, and at peak tan look like a sheet of printer paper.

It stopped being a clear cut (black and white if you would) issue a long time ago.

I mean, if you're around Black people who use it frequently, eventually you're going to say it. You might feel bad the first time, there might be a discussion, but that's just how language works.

Picking up words/phrases/idioms isn't something that happens consciously. Especially when the people around you use it to refer to you too. Not like there's a milestone you hit and you get permission. But if people say it referring to you just like anyone else that's using it, eventually you're gonna say it.

It all depends on how someone says it, and how they handle themselves.

Like if you half ass every word and then scream the n word, people aren't gonna be happy. Bouncing your head and it comes out like every other word?

I'd be real surprised if anyone mentioned it
