This is not a healthy dynamic to support. It's just a way to flip the historical power structure, so that black people have something white people are denied.
I get why it is the way it is, and I even think it's an unavoidable consequence of trying to fix the problem, which is undeniably still a problem. I have no desire to sing or say the word, which is part of the reason I don't listen to music with it in it. But the healthy end goal needs to be that the word isn't something that serves to divide us anymore. It needs to lose it's power to separate us.
And we don't reach that goal by bringing a white girl up on stage and then criticizing her for singing the song you brought her up there to sing. That makes the problem worse, not better.
This is all a tangent, not at all the point of discussing what OP did with the AI, but if you're going to insist on perpetuating structures of division as a sort of tit for tat and believe that's a healthy way to move us to a place of unity, I'm gonna tell you you're very, very wrong.
The structures of division exist, on both sides, and we can't just pretend they don't, but we don't need to applaud them, we need to see them as symptoms of an illness.
And, anticipating the response, I'm not saying this particular prohibition needs to change now, or first, or soon, or whatever. N word is off limits for white people, I'm on board, there's still a lot of issues to resolve before that one. Just don't put someone just trying to sing a song of an artist they like in a position to fail. It sets us back.

Uh… i’m not looking into it that far.. Neither is anyone else.
It boils down to common sense, not some racial hierarchy or whatever you’re trying to describe (i’ma be honest i didn’t read it)
Edit; i mean this as respectfully as possible. I’m not on reddit to read race ramblings

So fuck off, then, if you're just gonna claim that it's a shallow issue not worth your time or attention then why engage in the tangent from the main point in the first place?
