While it is a vile slur, hate speech IS free speech (so long as it's not used in inciting people towards violence or criminal acts).

You can't have it both ways LeBron.

The group use the word the most is Blacks themselves. Maybe they should stop using it.

Leftists just trying to create something out of nothing AGAIN.

Anyone who's played Xbox live or similar online fps shooters and GTA knows that anyone and everyone will splash that word and many to troll or express anger at 'noobs'.

I don't doubt it is used on twitter as well. A mix of 14 yr old edgelords thinking they down or genuine racists.

People talking about not hearing it in the real world, other than rap songs, is true. Though, I am guessing when rap songs use it, they are using it in a different context and intention.

But this is twitter, the internet, the wild wild west.

Just go to any youtube or yahoo comment section. It'll get filtered but you know it's there.

I think the article is a bit hyperbolic, a surge? I'd think it is business as usual.
Just another slur in a sea of slurs.

Here's your big bag of angry cats, E. Musk. Good luck with that "technology".

LeBron queen James needs to shut up and stick to basketball.

Hmm, celebrities and sports figures...why anyone would care what they think or say is a mystery.

Did LeBron ever give the video to the cops of the people who wrote the n word on his garage doors a few years ago ?

He probably paid someone to do it.

I haven't notice it yet, but I mostly follow conservative posters. I suppose liberals are using it more.

For those who don't see anyone except black people use the N word, congratulations.

And I mean that. That must mean somehow you haven't been sucked down to the lowest pit of the soft moist underbelly of the internet.

Which is what Twitter will become, if it's not moderated.

That's funny! ^^^ And accurate.

I have hopes he can return it to a fairly moderated free speech platform where every reasonable persons thoughts and interests are welcome.
