Nonblacks have never had an n-word pass. It's never ok.
Actually my cousin's friend Jeremy gave me a one-time pass as long as I don't tell his mom he threw rocks into Ms. Jones's garden, but aside from that I agree.
Did your cousin's friend Jeremy offer it unprompted or did you ask for that?
It was unprompted, though technically you could describe it as "under duress", your honor.
Fun Fact: The n-word was used against anyone with dark enough skin, including Latinos, Indians, Native Americans, and Pacific Islanders.
It's kind of wild as a modern American reading people like Rudyard Kipling and having him just drop a casual n-word about Indians, honestly.
I've heard it said in person more by hispanics and pacific islanders than I've heard it from black or white people.
People saying it does not mean they have a pass.
They sure seem to think they have one.
What they think is irrelevant and you know it.
Yeah, and? I'm not saying it's right or wrong. I'm just saying that it happens. No one ever seems to call out non-whites for saying it, so they'll continue to.
I'm given to understand that Quentin Tarantino was given one by Samuel L Jackson, personally.
