The word "N-word" has a long and intricate background in America. It has been used as an insult against African Americans for centuries, and its use remains highly debated today. However, in recent years there has been a increase in the usage of n word pass card- the card that is believed to grant people who are not black the ability to use the term without facing consequences. What is the source of this idea? originate? How does it connect to engineering? In this blog post we will explore the precise engineering behind the N-word passcard and it's social implications.
The N-word passcard isn't a new concept. It has been around for decades but gained more recognition with the advent of social media sites like Twitter and Instagram. The cards are usually made by non-black people who feel entitled to use the word "N-word" because their black acquaintances or they listen to the music of rap. They argue that if black people can speak it, then why can't they?
However, what a lot of people fail to recognize is that language carries the power and significance that go beyond dictionary definitions. The word "N-word" has been used for centuries to justify brutality and oppression against people of color in America. The word was once used to be a weapon to make them feel less human and continues to be used as an insult in the present.
What role does engineering play in all this? Let's look at the process of the creation of an N-word pass card.
Firstly, there is precision forging, which is the process of creating things with extreme precision and detail. In this case it is the creation of the physical or digital version of an "N-word" card with a specific phrase like "This person has permission to say the N-word." This precise language implies that there are rules or guidelines to the use of this word, but it is not the case that there will be any exclusions.
Secondly, there is socially designing, which is the process of shaping something to be able to fit in a particular social context. N-word pass cards are often made and distributed via social media platforms where they are able to quickly go viral and be read by thousands of people. This allows for the normalization of using the N-word, as it is described as a normal and casual way to express yourself.
Conclusion: In conclusion, the N-word pass card may appear to be a harmless gag or trend on social media, but they carry deeper implications about the race relationship in America. The precise design behind these cards perpetuates harmful ideas about language ownership and entitlement as well as socially constructing them to normalize the use of a word that has so much history of violence against black people.
Engineers must be aware of the ways in which our creations can impact society beyond just their intended function. We must also recognize our privilege and try to create a welcoming environment that is open to all, no matter their race, ethnicity or religion. Let's use our skills to benefit society instead of being a part of the harmful system of oppression.
