Huh. I'm not sure you've been replying to the right person. I've never talked about the n word.
I don't have inside info on how they tackle these issues, but I imagine it's an especially tricky problem when a word isn't hateful when used by a minority group, so they probably can't ban all uses of a word, otherwise you'd risk silencing a whole group of people that are "allowed" to say the word.
Anyway, in the US "free speech" is primarily important to us in reference to being allowed to criticize the US government and it's officials.
If your take is “gosh, I don’t quite know what you mean about the racism (and more) problem on the free speech site X fka Twitter” you’re either very sheltered or you’re one of the people comfortable with the whole thing and it’s an act.
I’m going to choose to assume you’re just a bit sheltered and leave this comment thread, since you’ve already stated you’d rather not discuss anything with me
Do you use Twitter often and see it for yourself?
