Why do black people get upset when non-black rappers use the N-word?
I see. Is there any context where it's okay for non-black people to use the N-word?
Generally speaking, it's best for non-black people to avoid using the word altogether. Even if it's being used in a song or in a context that is not intended to be offensive, it can still be hurtful to members of the black community. While some black people may be more lenient in certain contexts, there is no way to know for sure unless you have explicit permission from them to use the word.
