She's lucky she isn't in the UK as she would probably end up doing jail time for inciting hatred/hate speech.

As a policy update, we'd like to clarify a moderation stance on people who police a minority on reclamation of the n-word. This also applies to comments that everyone should be able to use the n-word as well. To be clear, these kind of comments are unacceptable. Going forward, such comments will be actioned appropriately. Please report such posts that violate the above policy.
We're rebooting this thread to try again with this policy clearly stated. If you have questions or concerns, please PM a mod captain, Hecht or Selina, directly. Thanks.

"Man down
Where you from, nigga?"
"Fuck who you know, where you from, my nigga?"
"Where your grandma stay, huh, my nigga?"
"This m.A.A.d city I run, my nigga"
what's a nonblack person supposed to say here if they're rapping along. like bleep or pause or what

lets get this out of the way now, this is not a publicity stunt, Kendrick pulls people on stage for his popular songs pretty frequently:
there are dozens of similar videos on YouTube throughout his career of him doing this. Calling this a stunt is just a shitty deflection.

pause and don't say anything that or my friends always stated say brotha instead of the N word, both are two syllables and can flow properly
friend, buddy, brother, matey, broseph
there are lots of options. english is not a niggardly language

Don't fucking invite a white fan to the stage then. That song is full of that word, feels like he did that shit on purpose.

So the acceptable useage is not to sing the song but listen to it only ? I don't listen to rap and r&b at all but want to know how a brown man like me should approach engaging with the music
Hey guess what that non-black person could do, shut the fuck up. Don't sing along.
He's had fans on stage before and they didn't say it.
"On purpose"....
Usage? Just don't sing the word, either replace it or pause. It's not rocket science.

He invited her on stage to sing though?
I never knew people had an ungodly need to sing every lyric to every song they listen to.
This is very important to white rap fans. The utmost importance
I feel like pausing is good because if you can pause and not break the flow it's impressive.
You don't say anything. It's simple. As a kid, I'd blank out all curse words as I'd rap along. Guess what, I can still do it. It must be magic.
Brotha
Playa
Just blank it with a beat pause as you rap it
etc.
This ain't hard
Stop being obtuse
He should assume that white people don't know better and/or have no self-control?
It's easy af, I refuse to believe that this is a problem for you guys.
You can't just pause and hype with the music for a bit before you sing along?
You can't just replace it with another word?
Really man?
It's not hard. It's called entitlement and a massive load of disrespect for others.

She shouldn't have said it, and he shouldn't have invited some drunk white girl on stage to sing a song with him that uses the word 28 times.
I think your options are don't say the word, or ask the artist their permission and accept their decision.
Not very hard.
I think a more interesting question is "How hard it is to be a rap fan and not sing the word?". Because I think if anything can be discussed in the light of the mod post it's that. Is Kendrick writing that song thinking of white fans? Is it intellectually honest to assume this music and these lyrics are for "everybody"? Is a "white fan" an unwelcome guest of sort, basically wanted for his money but not really part of the moment?
Because other than that no, there's really nothing to discuss. White people should not say the N word. So what does that mean for Rap music and black artists who accept white people as fans?
Doesn't mean she gets to sing that word though. There are plenty of other words in the song that she can sing along with.
User Banned (3 Days): Attempt to assign equal blame despite Mod Post at OP.
Both of them made mistakes both of them said sorry. End of story
What is the downside to not saying the word? How does it negatively impact your life?
How about pausing because those lines still rhyme even without the n-word, in case another dumbshit wanna dredge up that excuse.
