that is becauase they are straight out ignorant people. any person that says that word is more ignorant then can actually be put intrds. that is really all there is to it.

SN Art has the best description except that all of the words and derivitives are ignorant.

Iam black and Nigger is offensive...Nigga isnt offensive...we can say it...You cant unless your black or Eminem,End of Discussion

and thinking that isnt racist in its own right? you're saying that white people cant say something or do something because we're white? isnt that racist? yes.

No its not racist because iam not bashing you for anything...Just simply limiting your rights and telling you what you can and cant say haha

so wait, our rights are limited because of our race? how is that not racist? that sounds like epitomy of what racism actually is? from everything that this thread is about it seems like it is racist to say we cant say something based on our race. im not for the word, but saying that a specific race cant do something is racism. think.

Thats exactly what iam saying bro...not trynna be racist or anything

Honestly these days, it's like the black community if living to the term rather than shying away from it.

I mean, you hear of black people doing dumb shit on the news, and it's like, what did we devote 20 years to promoting peace? Now it's people getting shot for jewlery, robbing banks, appearing as a contribution to the concept of materialistic in the media. I'm really starting to wish I was white myself, because at least then I know that I am not apart of a deteriorating society that is slowly loosing all morals and judgement.

Watch a video on BET, and go read "Lord of the Flies", it's makes you wonder, if we gave those kids in that 1954 novel diamonds, women and alcohol, would there really be something to compare the point of that book too?

Ohoho, I'm going to subscribe to my first thread.

So that makes it right? You only believe the word isn't offensive because those around you use it.

It really doesnt matter if a black person says Nigger to another black. I say it to my brother and my other black friends There cool with it, but i hate how white ppl at my school are like ur racist, like WTF how am i racist to my own kind? i can say it but u cant cause it is considered racist.

I believe they are saying "Nigga" or "Nigguh", not "Nigger".
Also, a quote from Urban Dictionary:

Urban Dictionary wrote:

Nigga is a word which evolved from the derogative term "nigger". Tupac best defined the distinction between the two.

NIGGER- a black man with a slavery chain around his neck.

NIGGA- a black man with a gold chain on his neck.
Tupac defined the word

Just sayin~

I dont think any of the words "Nigger" or "Nigga" is rascist because im Vietnamese and black and In oregon we use that alot. BOTH OF THEM. We allow white people to use them, and blacks, asians, and anybody else. Remember that "Nigger" Means Iggnorant. "Nigga" can mean anything from "Stupid" To "WoW REALLY?"

and even the white people that i skate with say "Ey Whats Good My NiGha!!!" and we just laugh it off..

Doesn't nigger talk about an ignorant person or uneducated person?

That^ And im half black since my mother was

everytime i hear this word i think why give a shit? its a word and can be said in tons of different languages and people say it all the time whether it be a black guy, asian, white or whatever race or color you are either way we can't control what people say

example

cops - everyone in high school when i went called them pigs, or made comments referencing them maybe about bacon or something

we can't control it no matter what year it is people are still gonna say it so why start controlling people when your gonna get those people who take things in their own hands and say whatever and break the rules

most people don't give a shit so it can't be stopped

i'm neutral over the whole damn thing

Okay read half this thread stopped then decided to say this, the word in its self is not racist as long as used in the proper context, also the person's personality effects what he will do.

I am as white as it gets and none of the blacks in my school care if I say Nigguh, Nigga, or Nigger, hell if someone says I am white they go all out saying that I am black.

Like some whites are offended by the word Cracker, me personally I couldn't care less, I go around making fun of my own race. The person's personality effects how he will act.

tl;dr

Nigger/Nigga
It's the same shit.

Negros calling negros negros is still a negro saying negro then saying a white man can't say negro.

Guess the fuck what. I live in an all white town, if i want to say negro damn well im going to say negro, and that doesn't limit me to my town.

There's black kids at my school who call them selves Nigga/nigger so don't even start with your "Black people say nigga not nigger" because that's false information.


EVERYONE IS RACIST. Even if you say you're not, you know you are.

Face it, and get the fuck over it.

Actually its not the same thing, the fact ur in a all white town says it all. There's a big difference between Nigger & Nigguh.

We, say nigga not nigger. Its like when somebody calls you stupid or retarded you get mad, but when you call yourself stupid or retarded your feelings don't get hurt at all, it not we want to get mad just when white people say it, we do, because everytime a white person does say it, it is a term of racism. That's why we get offended, and you can't think of yourself just, because when you say it, black people get mad and you don't mean it that way, every white person make it seem as a term of racism so that is what we will take it as.(I'm only half black)

I wonder if people who are slow get offended when the word retarded is used, because if thats the case they are hated on alot more then minorities...

Those who are offended by the word retarded don't know what it means as it just means slow, which is why it is called mental retardation.
