Should white people be able to rap lyrics with the N word in them?

I disagree. Afro Americans are clearly very talented in music making, and rap or hop is another example of that. They have produced tunes with creative rhymes, beats and samples. Some of the lyrics are offensive, however.

Growing up in an African Carribean household my parents told my sister and I to never say that word. Mainly because my father didn't find it to be ladylike and even though we are a black family the word has alot of hardships associated with it.
Have I ever said the N word even with my black relatives nope and I tell those around me not to use the word lightly. I know people say it because of music nowadays but sometimes people forget the struggle behind it
Atleast in my honest opinion

Interesting that your response to a term originally intended to oppress black people to tell black people what they can say.
Except the actual events were the local government decided to get rid of one but a racist mob showed up...
Black people shouldn't be able too, nevermind white people. Retire the word already.
Interesting that you fail to see the point I made that if that word is offensive, no-one should be using it.
Here’s a fucking concept; maybe if we stopped encouraging people to see themselves as black people, or white people and just to see themselves as people, we’d have a lot less divisive bullshit and we could all focus on what’s important: getting rich and getting laid.
I find it a vile word designed to class a race of people as subhuman. Even in it's present use by white people it is used with venom to degrade someone as socially beneath you because of their skin colour, They maybe better educated, richer or dress better but the racist will drag up this term as a desperate 'yeah but I'm white so you are still under me.' Any time a black person hears the term from a white person, it always to remind them of their social standing.
My own perception of the frequent use among black people is not an acceptance of the white venom but this term has the common collective membership applied to a black brotherhood. This term for the brotherhood has defined them from times of slavery to to present day. They are joined by this one word of suppression that only applies to blacks. Whites not only don't belong but they are the ones who put them there.. Suggesting that they are part of the group is gross.
Just my perception.

Yes? Is there something you wish to say to me? Jut try not to cut into my mirror time...
Well right on, brother. It's still just a word, though. Around the world there are still millions of POC who would need a translation to attach any meaning at all to the six letters. Where does the line get drawn? UN resolution to get the Nation of Niger to change it's name? There has already been a highly senseless tempest over the Oxford Dictionary word "niggardly" Maybe the first instance of "cancel culture" that I can recall. Some poor professor lost his job for being erudite
. (Maybe Al Franken was before that, dark day for the Dems) Lots of the people I went to HS with would still call me "nigger lover", many to my face ( I wouldn't go back to Alabama now on a bet!!). Illigitimati non Carborundum...
