          It’s good to lurk and keep an eye on extremist spaces imho. Not good for the mental health, but helpful in intervening/deradicalizing teenagers following down those rabbit holes. Good to also prep counters and debunks to narratives before they take hold.

      While I can understand his syntax, I fail to understand the substance of that sentence.

      Now I’m curious how wealth can be utilized in a manner that pertains to African-Americans. Funding sickle cell anemia research?

        I think he is basically saying “I think that black people are bad. I also think that some billionaires are bad, but it’s #notallbillionaires . The innate badness that black people have and the bad billionaires have are the same, so I am going to call the bad billionaires black”. In other words, racist bullshit

        N*gga rich is a term used by racists, and co-opted by rappers, to mean getting a small fortune and spending it on flashy ostentatious things.

      I don’t think that’s a neologism. It’s just the adjective to ‘negro’.

      Basically he thinks billionaires are ‘behaving black’.

      Not really. A n*gger is a race neutral term nowadays. It essentially means someone that takes far more than they will ever contribute, and in that respect, he’s absolutely correct

        no. no it’s not. people know its origins and who it’s referring to. to deny this is a form of sealioning. fuck off with that

        It essentially means someone that takes far more than they will ever contribute, and in that respect, he’s absolutely correct

        attaching this meaning to it is a form of dog whistle to get people to associate these traits with Black people. you are doing the propaganda work of white supremacy right now.

          supremaCISM

          “White supremacy” is what they think is the case. “White supremacism” is what they practice by thinking it.

          Sorry for pedantry but this is one of those things that drives me nuts, similar to “my grandpa is on Facebook with all his conspiracies”. NO. A conspiracy is real. A conspiracy THEORY is when a bunch of idiots think there’s a conspiracy.

            Mine is the word entitlement vs false sense of entitlement.

            Me: “You are entitled to your social security money.”

            Other guy: “I’m not fucking entitled, that money is mine and I want it back.”

            Lol

        I don’t know what racist town you’re from, but that is not reality no matter how much racists wish it was. As for a name for people who take more than anyone could ever deserve, we simply call them billionaires.

        Woof, you realize that the episode of South Park you morons use to justify this “change in meaning” was satire, and was not meant to be a guide for how to use cognitive dissonance to change words’ meanings to your own liking.

        Lmao this chode is really over here trying to ignore all of the cultural context and redefine the n-word, to be able to use it without getting punched in the mouth.
