As you can see, I had a field day annotating this chunk. This chunk is very corrupted and dishonest because the author decides to play the victim and pretty much blame black “rappers” for the use of the N word. The author’s immature way of saying basically that black rappers need to stop saying the N word first in order for “change” is putting complete responsibility for white people saying the N word on black people. If it makes it easier to understand, I’ll put the author’s claim- with my input as the “black people”- into a meme sort of format:
WP: “But you said it first! I was just singing the song with you..”
BP: “Even if I said it first, you are capable of knowing what is and isn’t okay for you to say. Also, even if you say you aren’t racist, the history of white people using the word is racist. That being said, stop saying nigga.”
WP: “...uh you first! You started it, after all! I would’ve never said it, had it not been for you so.. YOU stop saying nigga”
Along with blaming black people, the author also uses corrupt terms like “complain” and “white girl”. When most people hear the word “complain” they think of nagging, typically over petty and irrelevant things. The author’s use of that word is meant to describe when people speak against racism, and “complain” seems like an inappropriate word for that. In addition, when most people hear the term “white girl” they get an image of an innocent woman who couldn’t possibly purposely do anything wrong. When the author uses the term, she (a “white girl”) is using it to imply that they’ve simply been duped into saying a racial slur, because it was in a song.
