Don't preach to Black people about using the word. Preach to non-Black people about using the word. School the confused white people.

I don't think this girl was a "confused white person". I really think it's a generational thing. The word brings different connotations to a 17yr old and 55yr old. I actually have met true racists in my time, and they are pretty discrete about their viewpoints. Her posting her cake on IG leads me to believe that this girl really didn't think that cake was offensive, which doesn't surprise me much because of her age. She grew up with the N word being all over the place due to hip hop culture, not from it being all over the place due to racism (as other people have lived through).
