BuzzFeed: Question Black People Have for other Black People and a Writer Response

BuzzFeed God bless their soul used to be one of my favorites sites to get news and entertainment but in the words of a friend, "They done f**ked up now". You might be wondering what BuzzFeed has done well, i'll let you watch for yourself and see messed up the whole situation is.


At first it was funny, then it got downright offensive, like really as a black person you don't understand why our race is allowed to say the N word and not other races. Do I need to explain the historical implications and oppression that has haunted black people since way back and that is especially tied to that word. Do I need to explain how the N word was used as a derogatory term to refer to black people how it is still used to refer to black people and we are only beginning to reclaim that word for ourselves and change the meaning into something positive. As a black person do you really need an answer to that question. This is really disappointing, especially since it is coming from BuzzFeed. Seriously Buzzfeed could have done better, there are legitimate questions that you all could have asked but you all chose to ask all the wrong ones.
