Yall, I heard my mom say the n word but she was explaining what it was to my younger brother and how it meant something else when she was younger. She explained how you should never say it and didnt mean any harm when it was said. Is that ok?

Answer:

It is never okay to say this, in any circumstance, if you are any race other than black. Different generations have had different educations, but that is no excuse. You do not explain to someone how it was "okay back in my day, which makes it okay now". No, it is was and still is never okay. She should take accountability for how it was wrong when she was younger and wrong now, and tell her children with no accomadations, how this is not okay.

I think its not ok, but maybe for educational purposes then maybe, but thats still no excuse to use it, maybe she could have shown it written out, but I whatever, im proud that ur brother now knows not to say it.
