If you wanna argue with me:

1.) Check your privilege

2.) Educate yourself on the historical and contemporary harms of cultural appropriation in this country, particularly within the Black community

3.) Assess whether your ability to say a word is as important as the dehumanization, oppression, and appropriation of an entire culture.

If you still wanna argue:

1.) Don’t even say nun just unfollow me

2.) Piss off
