I went to the Kendrick Lamar subreddit the other day in anticipation for the new album. Someone created a thread "For the non-POC Kendrick fans, what do you say when singing along to a song that features the n-word?"
It started out pretty innocent seeing that a lot of them either replaced the word with fella, or skip the word completely. One person said they use "hitta", one said "brotha" etc. Wasn't long until many of them came out the woodwork admitting they rap the word freely with no fukks given. One breh said in Europe where he`s from it`s vastly accepted, even by the POC. People then started bringing up this:
Long story short, there`s currently a race war going on in Kendrick`s subreddit. Shyt went from album theories, to "YT people in this subreddit should be ashamed of themselves" every other thread.
If anyone wants to see the thread just google "for the non-poc kendrick fans reddit". It should be the first link.
EDIT: I think mods cleaned up, and removed all the race related threads, and a small amount of the comments in the og thread.
