    Slurs are socially constructed; opposing its use affirms its existence. I’m saying there’s no point in opposing it because that’s not how you get actual social change! The slur use exists insofar as oppression exists. The slur CAN’T exist without oppression. What you’re promoting is literal idealism that Engels critiqued.

    there’s a large difference between marginalized groups disempowering the word and non-marginalized groups perpetuating its power.

    There is something deeply racist about the idea that the only thing a white person can do by choosing to disregard a social construct is perpetuate oppression—and further that there be no nuance on the matter.
