    Make em think their tax money is paying for “Ni–er food” and they’ll burn down the entire education system.

    Hell, replace Nword with F-word or Kword honestly doesn’t matter.

        I believe they referring to “kike”, a slur for jewish people.

        With the degree of self censoring and the love acronyms and shortening words, it’s becoming a challenge to follow written text.

        Is the fword “faggot”?

          Thank you, I was also confused by what the fuck the “K-word” could be. I think we could asterisk out a letter, so meaning is still conveyed, and the impact of the word might still be felt and understood.

            I understand your reasoning but I can’t subacribe it.

            A word is a word. A word becomes an insult if it is used against someone, with that specific intent.

            I specifically used the quotation marks because I wanted to convey the understanding that I was putting the words out with no connection to anything.

            Writing on a social media outlet feels more and more like walking through a trap field. Cryptic acronyms, forbidden and self censored words and redacted sentences.

            This is the worst kind of censorship I can think of. It blocks the person and others from fully expressing ideas and thoughts and preassigns a default judgement towards who is trying to convey an argument.

            The best way to void a word - especially if an insult - is to ignore it. Don’t use it, ignore it in others speech, attack the use of it as an insult.

            Self censoring is not a good thing.

              Honestly I wanted to be edgy but been trained that I’ll get auto moderated if I just type it out.

              Also people really do be thinking you are racist if you type out a word (or recite a song lyric) from a different point of view.

              In other words, it’s a no win scenario.
