and the best would be not to use a loop, because the string will be analyzed at each message

string root = "your text here";
if(root.Contains("your"))
{
  //your logic here
}
string root = "your text here";
if(root.Contains("your"))
{
  //your logic here
}
so in an array it would look like 
string root = "this thing is the input of the otherthing's thing";
string[] stringArr = { "thing", "otherthing" };
foreach(string word in stringArr)
{
  if(root.Contains(word))
  {
    //your logic here
  }
}
string root = "this thing is the input of the otherthing's thing";
string[] stringArr = { "thing", "otherthing" };
foreach(string word in stringArr)
{
  if(root.Contains(word))
  {
    //your logic here
  }
}

you can also simplified it using LINQ like the following 
            string root = "this thing is the input of the otherthing's thing";
            string[] stringArr = { "thing", "otherthing" };
            
            bool result = stringArr.Any(x=>root.Contains(x));
            string root = "this thing is the input of the otherthing's thing";
            string[] stringArr = { "thing", "otherthing" };
            
            bool result = stringArr.Any(x=>root.Contains(x));
but the question itself is not clear I still not understand what he want to do exactly

ok look 
string[] blacklistedWords = new string[]
{
  "world"
}

string message = "hello world"
string[] blacklistedWords = new string[]
{
  "world"
}

string message = "hello world"
I would like to make a condition so as to have if the message contains the word of the array
