Hello, I would like to explain why I bielive I was unjustly banned.
Apparently i was banned for saying "GET THE WATER NIGGA, IT'S GOING DOWN".
Ban request thread: https://forum.nordinvasion.com/showthread.php?tid=71205
This phrase was a reference to this video (0:47):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QeHlF_cXVCY
This video is in no way racist, it is a viral video known for man's funny, overly expressive reaction to fireworks.
Moreover, I think there is a misunderstanding about the word itself. "nigga" and "nigger" are different words. The first one originates from the second one, however over the years it lost its original pejorative meaning. The word is widely used by blacks and it means nothing more than "man", "dude" or "bro". It would be hypocritical to ban black players for casually talking to each other.
Here's Eazy E confirming my opinion about the word:

And here's 2pac confirming that there is a difference (3:25):

Wikipedia also does a good job of explaining:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigga
In conclusion:
- the video i quoted is not racist
- the word itself is not racist either, it may be, depending on the context
Thank you for reading
