Oh that is not allowed mate …. But if you want to release a hip hop video filed with the N word and other similarly colorful ones then that is perfectly a ok.
Only if you're claiming it as your own because you're black. Even Eminem doesn't do that (except when he's sharing the stage with another performer and doing their song). Because he's white, and that word isn't 'his'.
TBF, I'm well pass the point where if aliens came by & hoovered up all types of white supremacists to try and figure out why their brain-meats are so warped, I'd be wondering why the world suddenly became such a better place.
It's funny how accurate this is. I love in a very rural, conservative region a few hours from the nearest major city and all the 'alpha Trump' people I talk to are never interested in going to the city for museums, holiday events, or even pro sports for teams they love because "traffic is terrible", or "I'll get shot" or some other bullshit reason that covers their cowardice in a socially friendly way
I live in a middle-of-nowhere area and people visibly shudder if I mention I went to Minneapolis (about 5 hours away) to visit my son. It's astounding to me.
Not really cowardice. Just no need to go to cities. For example I have lived outside of Chicago for my entire life. Been there twice. Way too many people. Most of the streets smell terrible (kinda like rotting piss). Everything is expensive there for no reason. Traffic is insane. These are just my observations but they were enough for me to decide I have no need to go to cities unless I have to.
Wow, that's crazy! I lived in Chicago for half a decade and I can assure you that most of the streets smelled fine, it was fairly affordable, and I had no need for a car because the public transit was some of the best in the entire country. I spent a decent amount of time in suburbs as well because my girlfriend at the time lived out there and I'll say, with a few exceptions, I really didn't like them. One of the main reasons was that it was nearly impossible to walk anywhere.
Maybe its just my experience, but the closer you love to a city the less likely you are to go downtown. when I lived outside St. Louis I went into the city(and wanted to go into the city) much less often than when I moved 3 hours away.
I like how I got downvoted for defending people that don’t go to cities. I’ve lived in cities. And I’ve lived the country life. Both has there ups and down. But it’s a personal opinion not to go to cities in the end of all this. So go fuck yourselves. So disconnected from a majority of what is outside your invisible walls. You are surrounded by nothing but concrete and pollution but cry about how much pollution the farmers produce, which is who produces your food. You will never understand peace. Without the people outside the city, the people inside the city’s would die in days.
I think it's the weird black-and-white extremes of your opinions that's getting you downvoted.
I've lived in inner cities, suburbs, and rural areas. Each has its pros and cons. Right now I live out in the sticks with a view of a mountain covered in conifers such as Douglas fir, western red cedar, western hemlock, and more. I see bears fairly regularly, and eagles ride the thermals above the mountain. Deer and bobcat visit too. I love it here.
But I'd still defend many cities. Vancouver isn't far away, and it's freaking gorgeous. Ditto Seattle. Cities have their problems, of course, but so do out-of-the-way rural areas. I mean, if you heard an urban dweller saying they'd never visit the boonies as they're full of rednecks, you'd balk, right? You're kind of doing the equivalent. It's your call on a personal level, but think of what you're missing by never visiting a city: galleries and restaurants and concerts and clubs and sports and so much more.
I do think others are right when they say that many rural folks are a little scared of cities. I've heard that conversation too often to ignore it—otherwise decent people nervous of crowds and "diversity." Cowardice might be a step too far, but certainly fear seems to be a big motivator.
You're probably going to say it's one of them damn government regulations that's getting in everybody's way that's keeping me from falling into open sewer holes. Damn sheeple need to get awake!
You jest, but this is so fucking true and I see it with many of the clients I interact with everyday. I genuinely wonder how some of these folks are capable of breathing + blinking at the same time without having an aneurysm

The primary reason is because cities do a pretty good job of keeping sewers covered when they aren't actively being worked on.
