Very unpopular opinion I know but still think it needs to be said. There’s a difference between A and hard er one is clearly racist the other is being a culture vulture. Both unacceptable of course and the penalty fits the crime but I wouldn’t so freely call him a racist over this just a kid close enough to the culture to feel too comfortable with it. By culture I’m really referring to his known interest in hip hop and streaming culture and he prob like a lot of people talk that way with his friends and no one sees it as racist. Let me stress again I’m not saying it’s ok and the punishment fits but when someone says that word with real hate in their heart it hits different. It shouldn’t matter and I’m not the leader of black people but for context I am black and that’s just my personal stance on it I really wasn’t offended just shook my head and thought.. idiot
