Are Albino Black Dudes Allowed To Say The N Word?
The other day I was out on Newbury and saw an albino black person working in one of the stores, first one I’ve seen in my entire life and I’ve been mystified by it ever since. I basically dropped all my plans and just people watched this guy for like 45 minutes. Typing it out now/in the moment when I actually did it, it sounds weird, but I had no choice. I mean this dude was definitely black, but he was white as shit. He talked like a black dude, walked like a black dude, pointed like a black dude (I don’t even know what that means but I saw him point to someone for something and thought, “Total black guy point”) but had skin like my brother, no A. I kept such a close eye on him this guy probably thought I was a stop/loss officer watching him in his own store. Or maybe he didn’t? I don’t know. Maybe albino black dudes aren’t used to being followed around thinking they’re gonna steal something so he didn’t even notice me.
But what I’ve been wondering ever since is can he say the N word? Or does he have to say it like I say it, rapping in the shower but still kind of whispering those parts, just in case some black person you don’t know has let themselves into your apartment… wouldn’t want to insult a guest. I mean he’s black, right, so of course he should be able to say it? But he’s not, so no way should he be able to? Such a conundrum. I’ve been racking my brain about it for days and I think what I’ve come to decide is that his friends let him say it, but he’s not allowed to in public. His friends are like cool high school parents who let you party in the house just to protect you from doing it outside. Yeah man, scream the N word when you’re with us, but when we go in public shut your fucking mouth.
Must eat him up every day though. I mean being African-American and not being able to say the N word is the ultimate version of being unable to cash a winning lottery ticket. Fuck all the blind health problems that come with albinoism, fuck the pros of being white and not getting pulled over all the time, not getting to drop N bombs whenever you want SUCKS.
PS – With all the school protests I’ve seen people asking “Why do white people care about the N word so much and want to say it so badly?” Isn’t that obvious? 1. Because it’s funny, 2. same reason I wanted to fuck my girlfriend in the ass: I’m not allowed to.
