How much you wanna bet it was a white person who reported him? ~If I can't say the word why can he?~

[nomoneyfun]

lol

I loathe when white people tell me how uncomfortable they are with the word and I shouldn't use it. This guy I dated a while back did that and it was one strike of many. My principal is that when she hears students use it amongst their friends in the hall I'm like sis....

I hate when people tell me how no one should be able to say it and I hate that I feel like I have to explain why it's okay for me to say it and not them. I say n___ because I know the other person is in on the joke. I'm reclaiming that word. If someone White says it, I don't know the context or I sure can't tell if they're doing it to be racist, edgy, dumb or a mix of all three.

M fucking T E

🙄 Disgusting. Someone cost this man a job because he used a word fully in his right in saying. Fucking stupid

[mimblexwimble]

He left of his own accord. HR didn't take any action against him.

The word 'quit' is literally in the title.
