    Why do you “have” to address it? I’ll quote you from another post

    Finally a safe n-word to use

    Why is being able to use a slur without repercussion so important to you?

    Edited to add the words “without repercussion” as of course you’re free to use the word, it’s the repercussion that’s the issue.

      Because sometimes you want to address a group of people by their specific attributes and would find a word for that handy.

      That means a word which is not used in a derogate sense but a neutral way.

      I am not looking for a slur word here. Someone else said there is a word besides the N-word which is used by rappers, without specifyng this word. So I lookes up a group I know (PRT) that is pro-black, pro-left and see which word they would use themselves and it turns out it’s that other word; which I personally would also not use to address this group.
