    It's always nonblack people who wanna say it, and always comes with this same kind of stupid ass whiny attitude whenever they know they shouldn't be and people call them out on it.

      A lot of the time they don’t even “want” to say it. Back in high school I’ve seen black guys tell people “ok go ahead you can say it” the other guy just get uncomfortable and don’t want to say anything lol. More often than not, white people just get upset at the idea of being restricted in any way even if they have no real intention of engaging with whatever the restriction is

        It's part of the reason why I only say it around other Black folks cause I'm not tryna be the one Black friend that white people have that "gives them permission". Ain't no passes on reclaimed slurs for those with no reason to claim it. Most especially for those who are part of the same group who used it as a slur.

        This is the real reason lol. Their biggest fear is being excluded from things that have nothing to do with them anyway.
