Sometimes I’ll say it when I’m alone. Not in a racist way, I’ll just repeat the word a couple of times.
Honestly I just think I hate being told what to do lol
And Russia has no racism, right? But yeah, ur right. The racists probably do.
No where has no racism, but you can not deny that there is a very, very, loud race war in the United States. Americans are obsessed with race. On both ends of it. I believe Europe also is battling this.
There is no Russian word for Racist or Racism. The early Soviet Union’s ideals were very loudly anti-racist as they considered racism to be a “direct result of capitalism and bourgeois immoral”. There was a time in the USSR when using a racial slur would get you thrown in the drunk tank or fined.
Many black Americans traveled to the Soviet Union during the 30’s, the Black Panthers were a Marxist-Leninist organization, even prominent American black figures like Tupac, Mike Tyson, Benjamin Davis, Fred Hampton, and Paul Robeson, were communist-affiliated. As well as Marxist-Leninist revolutions in Africa and the global South.
There is a lot of carry-over into Russia of Soviet ideals and attitudes. Modern Russians attribute the word “racism” to be strictly “discrimination against African Americans”.
I do think though that modern Russia has a larger discrimination problem now than we used to have, but we aren’t as racially diverse as some of the West. It would be pretty stupid for some dude in a Siberian village surrounded only by ethnic Russians to have a problem with Black people
Personally I just fuckin hate racists
Something went wrong in society when a word or a couple of words if you take into account the woke, and LGBTQ + communities have actually force of law behind them, to prevent them from being used. Yet, you can walk in to any school or large gathering place and hear every cuss word in the book being used loudly and without thought of who may be offended.
Words that probably 50% or more of the population (anyone over 35) has either been corrected or gotten in trouble for using as they were growing up.
You can tell someone to f off, call them an sob, refer to them as parts of the body (ck,cnt,dk,psy,...), But use the n word, f, or q words and you may find yourself being charged or fired for use of hate language. In my experience if you told certain people they couldn't use cuss words they would not be able to talk. Their vocabulary is not big enough to form a single sentence without them.
I hate how instead of growing out of it, a huge portion of the black community hang on to one stupid word and make a huge fuss over it.
You weren't the only people that had slavery. And you probably won't be the last either.
Let it go, it's trashy. Nigga this, nigga that. Shut the fuck up and evolve past it! Same with ghetto/ gangsta culture. Go to school, work, get out of the ghetto, be someone your future children will be proud of!
Selling drugs, abusing women, holding weapons the wrong way and having gold teeth, because your original teeth got knocked out isn't cool, or commendable! It's something that should be locked in the halls of history and no longer emulated.
I don't want to sound nice but what is the problem with saying the word 'reggin' (I spelt it backwards so no one who has little to worry about gets offended).
But after doing that I can see that the word spelt backwards actually forms a word that is easy to say and also looks like it may be an English word, maybe I have started something.

Are there enough black people in Bulgaria for this observation to be based on anything other than what you’re told on the internet or see on tv ?
Also gold teeth and grills are usually caps on top of your real teeth, not replacements
I think I've met enough black people to come to this conclusion. The thing is that it's just African americans that do this. Black people that come to Europe don't become 90s crime rejects, they don't live in ghettos. They don't sound like GTA characters. They came to Europe for a better life, so they try their best to be somebody. And that is commendable!
I know black folks who drive delivery vans and trucks, I also know ones that study to become doctors, or have become bankers. And again, well done! For being a productive member of society. Because that's what every one of us should be. So we can build a better future.

It's most likely a psychological thing. You want to do it because you "can't" do it. When I looked it up I got something called the "scarcity effect", or essentially wanting something you can't have. Maybe another version is you were told you *can't* do it, so you *want* to do it that much more.
Technically you "can", it's just very socially undesirable in most situations to do so and you may be shunned for using it.
Just because something is illegal I would want it. A kilo of cocaine? Makes a great paperweight. The holy grail? So what if I want to drink 7 up out of a cup that touched the blood of christ?
Yeah you're the one who got mad at me because I told you that you didn't face discrimination on the same level as LGBT people.
Being made fun of for being a weirdo =/= being sentenced to death by your government. And you're still privileged. We literally had that former conversation after I read an article about two gay rights activists being sentenced to death in the Middle East, and from what I can tell you are still alive.
You don't know. Plenty of people have WISHED ME DEAD for my attractions. So yes, I AM more oppressed than gays in THE WEST. I am not talking about the middle east. And quit hiding my comments, I literally said nothing offensive in that comment, you do know people can just click "show" right?
I dont hide your comments, they're hidden when people dislike them. I don't have that ability.
And no, still not oppressed more. My ten year old lesbian niece was threatened with murder by her classmates when she went public with it and we live in the "liberal" state of California. A bunch of little kids are bullying her with homicidal threats and the school isn't doing anything about it because it happened over the summer. They even put the main kid in her class this year.
People still take casual attitudes about the severe harassment of LGBT people. Once you pop the bubble of what you see in the media and see the actual reality of society it's not the same.
My little niece was constantly sent pictures and messages saying, "kill the f**got" and similar things and the school will not do anything. She's 10. She was being sent those things by kids *the same age as her*.
Stop wanting to be a victim. Sometimes people have it worse than you.
Yeah, and I've been told to BLOW MY FUCKING HEAD OFF and had a hate group made about me because of MY attractions, and it's one that NOBODY ACCEPTS!!!! SHE DOES NOT HAVE IT WORSE THAN ME!!! I WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO BE WITH THE PERSON I LIKE AND I'M NOT HURTING AHYONE AND EVERYONE STILL WANTS ME TO SUFFER!!!
And for the record, there is NO dislike button on isitnormal comments
Honestly, I don't know how 13% of the population managed to control the mouths of over 70%. And they're not the only group now either.
We're living in an Orwellian nightmare that hasn't yet reached its peak.
Just listen to the rap and other music that people of darker color tend to enjoy. There is absolutely no restriction on the N word for them.
Which raises a point. Either the word is so offensive that it virtually never should be used (and only used in a historical context when discussing certain parts of history); or its a word that can be used regularly.
You cannot have it both ways. Yet, many people of dark colored skin seem to think that they can have it both ways.
I have been shouting it out now since I read this post. Also each time I see a bunny today I will say something derogatory about them in my head "just because I can't"...
The OP says "not allowed to say ('reggin') " who doesn't 'allow' it? Is saying it illegal? What is the punishment? How is it proved?
Also I'm pretty sure 99% of people on here are crackers so all these comments, or the vast majority, are written by no backbone virtue signallers:(
Many white people say it to their black friends all the time.. it's normal to say it it's no different than saying the word dude. It's weird because if you think about it, it's just a word and today it's used in music often like "my N" to say "my friend". So if it is no longer bad it's weird it's still seen as bad.
