PewDiePie's Response (Apology) - some food for thought

in pewdiepie •  7 years ago 

Found a controversial reddit comment on this one, which actually made me think about the severity of this drama.

What's your opinion?
Is "Nigger" just a common insult on the internet nowadays?
Or should the n-word be socially stigmatized still?

Why a word should be stigmatized? The problem is in the people´s mind.

tend to agree. words lose or change meaning over decades after all

Small examples how the english language had change ... very good lesson from master George :D

LOL this is gold :D

Yes it is!!! :D George Carlin was a very clever man ... you should look for more videos from him. Personal recomendation "Save the planet" gig :)

I'm from America, so most people don't say that word unless you're black or from some hood area where that's just a word you tag on to "What's up" or "Yo". To me it's all about context and demeanor. If you don't say it as a means to offend then whatever, but if you're saying as a way to instigate something, then that is a different story.

And, btw. I highly can recommend to listen to Louis C K about this topic:

Not sure if claiming to use the word only as an insult makes it any better?! Is it so hard to say just "sorry"?

actually some thing depended on people mind,that's why we can't nothing ..........

a very good post thanks for sharing my story I wanted to share a good story but I have not been able to! success is always friends

Too much political correctness in this world. And I've had enough of people rushing to appologize every time someone is offended... If you don't like the way a guy talks, just stop watching his videos.
By the way, I've seen on Twitter black people referring to themselves as POC.
'I, as a POC' or WOC. Come on, does it really sound better to you? POC?!

what's a POC?

Person Of Color and Woman Of Color.

sound pretty stupid to be honest. every human has a skin color

I wasn't sure about that so I've checked on the Internet and, in physics, black and white aren't even colors!

OMG! They used this kind of reference to black people in Cuba from the beginning of the 19s until the Revolution(1959) time when everybody start to be the same (kind of). It is so strange to read that some people still use it. Well maybe old people could use it sometime in Cuba at the moment, but in reality no one really cares about colors anymore, we are a very mixed population ... Me for example, I am not white, but also not black and I have a bit of chinesse and german in my family ... so no KKK or Black panthers for me :P

Yeah, went on Twitter earlier to check out this Pewdiepie conflict and it's literally full of PoC this and PoC that... Very interesting thing you say about Cuba...when will people everywhere stop caring about colors?

when will people everywhere stop caring about colors?

When they stop think about it like it is bad or good to have a different color, phisical things you can not change. In Cuba we are all cubans independent of the color of the skin, hair, eyes or whatever ....

But instead, for what I see in USA or places like that they insist in separate everybody in colors, races, sexual gender (full crazy this part) and so on... of course, "divide and conquer", "is more easy to control separated people" and so on. People tend to forget we are first of all humans!

Pd: my english is not the best today but I hope you can get the idea

Very nice of him

On some forums yeah, I see "nigga" word everyday lol.

depended on people mind , we aren't all equals ... I'm here thanks to @proctologic resteem . See on the next posts !
