Racism is sociopathy in the extreme. You probably don’t see that because...well, you know why.
Let’s use some actual logic here. I know some of you aren’t deep thinkers but bear with me. This man says a racial slur on his Live and defends his “right” to do so. He feels so strongly about it that he directs his followers to attack the people telling him not to say it. His defense is that it’s a term of endearment he uses to describe his friends, many of whom are black and allow him to do so. Ergo, he uses it often. One of you fools favorite excuses is that black rappers have made the word so prevalent that your pretend boyfriend here can’t help but use it. Now it’s just “one instance”? You don’t need receipts, you need to use all that idle gray matter in your cranium.
Oh please, now you are accusing anyone who disagrees with you of being a racist?
If you’d stopped your high-horse from galloping so hard and done your homework in this thread, you’d’ve seen I said
from the start that it is never okay for any white guy to say the n-word any way at any time; I was merely explaining Owen’s actions from his live IG story, not excusing them.
In following posts I was merely presenting rebuttles of common rhetorical logic, not advocating them. I even attacked my own reference of the Kobe Bryant example - but no, that’s not convenient for your argument that I need to be a racist now.
As for “directing his followers to attack the people telling him not to say [the n-word]” - uh no, that is not at all what I saw while watching Owen’s IG story. What I saw was one of the viewers in the feed hearing
my niggas and very quickly threatening to write a letter to Owen’s modeling agency demanding that he be fired from his contract. No debate or attempt to educate: just an immediate job-firing and tearing down of Owen’s life was this guy’s unilateral solution. Owen, young and dumb, naturally got really scared, and he asked his longtime followers to assure the new guy that he’s not a racist and to convince him not to send that letter and get him fired. Not once did I hear Owen Lindberg
“direct his followers to attack the people telling him not to say [the n-word].” I watched that story to the end, when nervous and flustered Owen abruptly cut the feed. Never heard him order anyone “to attack” anyone. If I had,
I’d be attacking
him for it.
One problem with hasty and uninformed authoritarians like you (if not haters looking for any opportunity to trash people) is that you’ll allow absolutely no difference between a good-hearted dumb kid making a common important mistake and a drooling “
sociopath” starving to hurt people. Instead of turning the mistake into a real teaching moment - an opportunity not only to help Owen to see why no white guy should ever say the n-word, and maybe also teach the countless young people following him - you prefer to wield easy accusations of
racist! like a cudgel, battering down anyone whom you don’t like and striving to intimidate others to quickly stop talking and to quickly stop thinking, and to bow down to your own personal judgments.
Well, sorry.
Your account of what really happened - along with your underinformed/ overemotional attempt to lash out at Owen and to anyone who disagrees with you - are all wrong.
