Y'all talking bout some "I can reclaim [insert derogatory slur] because I'm [insert group of people]"

Y'all do realize most of those slurs y'all THINK y'all can reclaim... Actually can't be reclaimed at all... If you can't use a derogatory word in a non derogatory way.. joking or not it can't be reclaimed.

Any-knee-ways

Mhm. Like LGBTQIA people thinking they can reclaim every slur in the community😐like no just because you’re lesbian doesn’t mean you can say the f or t slur

The only successfully reclaimed slur in the lgbtq community is queer tbh. The others cannot be used in a non derogatory way.

I’ve never thought of that before tbh🤔I’d always thought that if a slur is directed at you, you yourself can “reclaim it” and say yourself, but it makes sense that you’d better not.
Is there any possibility that over time, queer people could start using it among themselves as endearment? And then it can be actually reclaimed in a non-derogatory way? Just a thought 💭

I'm not really sure. The most successful slur I've ever seen reclaimed is the n-slur which is almost always used as a term of endearment. And is always casually used (by the BLK community) but in my opinion i can't really see any of those slurs being re-used. I just can't see anyway they can be used positively or with endearment.

It's like the aborigines in Australia.
A lot of people make fun of them,

They had the stolen generation.
So they should be mad at white people, not all just the minority

Trying to mix blacks with white people, as a conversion.
Makes me sick, knowing I have aboriginal in me
and they were 'raped' etc.
