A person reclaiming their power should never be up for debate anyway. I also think the fact that a single black person in the US even entertains white people’s thoughts on the word is crazy. I don’t care if they are the biggest fake ally on earth or not one at all. They don’t even get a say and that should be final.
Also, I would like to propose that anytime a white person says nigg — r with a hard R black people should always respond by calling them that back with a hard R. I wish we could normalize this. Because most white people expect a reaction. If you call them an N word they will not be expecting it thus fully reclaiming both forms of the word.
