No.

The N word disparaged an entire group. It is not okay to use to describe any individual or the group with that word.

You can use words like "deranged murderer" to describe the kid killer. No need to use a racial term.

Capping on the other hand just means to lie. It shows the racism and intolerance of the left for people to demand she apologize for using it.

I thought capping was like putting a hit on someone, mob slang.

Has been used for decades for lying......?

No one uses is.

You are whining over a word that no one uses. As a matter of fact I thought it meant to shoot a gun: 'I'll bust a cap in your ass'. Heard it in the movies.......

Or bottling. Nurses have capping ceremonies when they complete their degrees. The word has multiple definitions.

Genius, if no one uses the term why did I find 5 different links defining the term capping as lying?

If no one uses the term why did woke-racist-leftists attack her for - wait for it - actually using the term and tell her it is a black person word so only blacks can say it?

Super Genius, words can have multiple meanings.

You are fine with the woke-mob making people apologize for using inoffensive words based on their race?

Why?

Because she is white. Apparently it is woke to be a Verbal SEGREGATIONIST by limiting what slang people can say due to the color of their skin.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/entertainm...?ocid=msedgntp

https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Capping

The urban dictionary does not show it has any racial undertones...it is just apparently cultural appropriation for a white person to use the term.

She has apologized and deleted the tweet.



I can understand why white people shouldn't use the N word and I don't use it, but white people can't say "capping" which isn't derogatory towards any group. It is merely slang for lying.


If this is the route that leftists are going, are there words that only white people can say? Or is that racist?

This whole woke PC mess is nothing but bull crap

Black people use the word a lot.

My rapist is definitely one. He deserves no respect from me.

How about answer #5. "I don't care and I am white and I will say what I want to say!"

Capping? Seriously? Well, in my world that means I'm dead ending a pipe either for future use or for termination of current use. Capping off.

So, now we're going to put up a language as well as a skin color line twixt ourselves? Only the languages involved are off limits for use by opposing camps?

At least certain words anyway because...why? There are so frigging many dialects of English in the US it boggles the mind and they all have their own slang.

Minus some well known universal terms that are specific as to skin color and coined to be purposefully demeaning ( this list includes ALL races of people) theres absolutely ZERO cause to limit what words we use.

Sheesh not every word in Websters is specific to what skin tone we have.
