    I’ve never once dropped the hard n and I can’t think of anyone who has even my late racist dad. That term comes from a place of bigotry against black people.

      Dude, who are you fooling, you expect me to Believe you never dropped an N bomb? What are u getting out of pretending you never said or engaged in racist behavior when we know profiling in the very least is a very ingrained primitive behavior. Keep living in your fantasy land.

        Yes. Millions of people can say the same.

        Sounds like maybe you are surrounded and raised by racists? That sucks man.

        On the other hand, our whole culture has been steeped in racism, ever since Europeans first set foot on the continent. So probably not a lot of people can truly say they’ve never had a racist thought or held some racial bias or did some racist thing, whether unknowingly or not. Because there are lots of manifestations of racist ideas and if one is white, one is probably blind to at least some of it.

        It’s a lot easier to never say a specific, disgusting slur.
