    It’s 4chan speak, I’ve seen it before.

    While I can understand his syntax, I fail to understand the substance of that sentence.

    Now I'm curious how wealth can be utilized in a manner that pertains to African-Americans. Funding sickle cell anemia research?

    I think he is basically saying "I think that black people are bad. I also think that some billionaires are bad, but it's #notallbillionaires . The innate badness that black people have and the bad billionaires have are the same, so I am going to call the bad billionaires black". In other words, racist bullshit

    His "exceptions" are clearly the guy who can't get through a press conference without rolling on molly (and has dozens of illegitimate children) the guy who talks with a vocal fry and practices "concerned face" in the mirror because he thinks it fools people into thinking he isn't Patrick Bateman, and the guy who injects the blood of young people and gets stumped when the interviewer asks him if the human race should survive.

    I don't think that's a neologism. It's just the adjective to 'negro'.

    Basically he thinks billionaires are 'behaving black'.

    no, it's not even a word. that wouldn't even be the adjective to that word.

    no, it’s not even a word.

    It is though.

    that wouldn’t even be the adjective to that word.

    You are right there though. I'm not a native English speaker and thought that would be it. (Sounds like if I'd try to build that adjective in my native language though).

    that's not the word I'm talking about. I'm saying the supposed adjective is not a word. it's not your fault that you were confused as i said "word" twice referring to different things the Spanish word and the supposed adjective. it's just that i really don't want to type any of it so i said "that word" instead not thinking it would be confusing.

    A n*gger is a race neutral term nowadays

    no. no it's not. people know its origins and who it's referring to. to deny this is a form of sealioning. fuck off with that

    It essentially means someone that takes far more than they will ever contribute, and in that respect, he's absolutely correct

    attaching this meaning to it is a form of dog whistle to get people to associate these traits with Black people. you are doing the propaganda work of white supremacy right now.

    supremaCISM

    "White supremacy" is what they think is the case. "White supremacism" is what they practice by thinking it.

    Sorry for pedantry but this is one of those things that drives me nuts, similar to "my grandpa is on Facebook with all his conspiracies". NO. A conspiracy is real. A conspiracy THEORY is when a bunch of idiots think there's a conspiracy.

    Dunno, I once got told that you can use the word if you're black, LOL =\

    And if I'd use it to address a bunch of friends whose ancestors weren't slaves and who are not black, I think this wouldn't be an insult. If there's a black person nearby, I won't risk it having a different effect though.

    No it doesn't. People have all kinds of perceptions of words. Get used to it, nobody is going to follow your whim.

    Buddy, you're not a normal person and nothing in this conversation says I'm a racist.

    You're an idiot.

    I don't know what racist town you're from, but that is not reality no matter how much racists wish it was. As for a name for people who take more than anyone could ever deserve, we simply call them billionaires.

    Woof, you realize that the episode of South Park you morons use to justify this "change in meaning" was satire, and was not meant to be a guide for how to use cognitive dissonance to change words' meanings to your own liking.
