Okay...u all know what i'm talking about the big word...y is it okay for yall to say this but not other people...i mean it's not like I use ER at the end???

Umm because ur not black (Im presuming) and because ur ancestors used to call us that to degrade my people...thats why you cant use it! Anything remotely close to N*gger will be deemed racist, so it doesnt matter if you put the ER at the end.

its cause we made it for us to say. Yall abused the word and we re used it. You are BANNED from saying it.

Okay...I get it white people shouldn't say this word because of how it was abused in the past, but why is it okay for white rappers like eminem to say it? Has he developed some sort of status in the black community to where you all forget he wasn't black? I guess I just don't understand?

Ive never heard him use..other than that one song..but he like bleeps it out..he doesnt actually say it. I dont care how many albums he sold..you cant buy over the rights to use the word..

WILL THIS GUY SAY'S IT LOL

YEAH I NEVER HERD HIM USE IT


EXCEPT THE ONE TAPE WHEN HE TALKING ABOUT BLACK WOMEN
COWARD

WTF IS THIS CHICK 4 REAL??? WHY DON'T YOU GO FIND OUT 4 YASELF...JUST WALK AROUND AND ACT LIKE YOU CAN SAY WORDS LIKE THAT...NOT JUST TO YA WHITE FRIENDS EITHER...MABEY STROLL THOUGH THE HOOD AND YELL IT AROUND LIKE YOU CAN...PSSSH

YEAH I'M FOR REAL!...I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY YOU PEOPLE LET IT BOTHER YOU...YOU ONLY MAKE YOURSELF SEEM IGNORANT...IF YOU WOULD JUST IGNORE THE PEOPLE SAYING IT YOU WOULD BE BETTER OFF! OKAY RAGE

In that " Foolish Pride " freestyle that Eminem did when he was younger, he doesnt bleep out his use of the N-word. Eminem wasnt the first white rapper to use the N-word, and he definitely wont be the last either.


" Its not like I say the ER at the end " <--- Thats one of the main excuses alot of white people come up with when they are trying to come up with reasons on why they should be allowed to say the N-word and not have to suffer any repercussions while saying it.

i don't what is with that word no matter how you mean it to be said there is bound to be someone that misunderstands you and will get in your grill about it i just don't say it because when i was a kid i heard n.w.a. and my friend told his dad "there's a group called niggas with attitude" and his dad got a real mean look on his face and said "if i ever hear either of you two say that word i'll beat your ass and you'll never be allowed in my house again(and dude is white mind you)" so since that day it has never been in my vocabulary and i have black friends that call me their nigga all the time but i still don't say it to them just out of respect but a lot of times the word "nigga" is just like sayin' person or guy like when someone says oh that niggas a bitch or something and dude he's talkin' about might be white but he's just sayin' that guy is a bitch

You people?? WTF is that supposed to mean..and how does it make us seem ignorant..Im sure if it was yo people that got took from there land,traded, beat, and hung...it wouldnt seem ignorant to you..

SEE...YOU GOT MAD WHEN I SAID YOU PEOPLE...THAT RIGHT THERE IS UNECESSARY DRAMA...I JUST THINK THAT YOU GET MAD WHEN PEOPLE USE THAT WORD BECAUSE YOU THINK YOU SHOULD. YOU DIDN'T GROW UP IN THOSE TIMES SO YOU DIDN'T EXPERIENCE SLAVERY FIRST HAND. AND IT'S HANGED.

OMG! I dont have to xperience it first hand...cuz racist shit still happens today...I dont see why you would wanna even use the word ne ways..

I DON'T WANT TO USE THE WORD...I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY YOU GET MAD WHEN WHITE PEOPLE SAY IT WHEN YOU USE IT AMONGST YOURSELVES LIKE IT'S NO BIG DEAL...IF THIS WORD HAS SUCH A NEGATIVE MEANING Y DO U CONTINUE TO USE IT?

Because to 'us' its not a big deal...just like a greeting (for some) Im trying to refrain from using the word..because its still deragatory no matter who uses it...truthfully I cant tell you why 'we' use it even though it has a negative meaning...I guess because its used so much in the black community that we have gotten comfortable with it ..and not really thinking about the meaning when we use it.

its like talking about your mom. you can call her fat, ugly, and stupid as much as you want but if a stranger does it then you beat his fuckin ass.

:scratching my head:

I dont think thats a good comparison...

the point is there are certain things so personal that only the person or people involved have the right to say certain things about it

snow bunny = dumb bitch

im white and i dont say it hardly ever..except for about 5 of my close black friends they call me cracker and white trash and i call them that but not in any derragatory way we just clown like that

i dont like u

is it me or is snowbunny trying to get reactions out of some people...why would you say "you people"...i think you are a racist just looking for any excuse to come on here and degrad us or atleast try too...somebody should ban her...i can tell shes trouble..you should already know why you shouldn't use that word...that is a retarded ass question..why would you even want to consider calling a black person a nigger/nigga whatever(still basically the same) anyway...i'm still confused as to why we as a people call ourselves that...a word that the white man used to degrad us with...white people are actually laughing at us because of that...you don't see them going around saying wassup cracker etc

ME?? WHY??

I dont think she should get banned..thats a lil too much. I think she is a young white girl that really just wants to know why we call ourselves that, but we get mad when they call us that..like you said..



because you put the G in G unit..lol..thats why I dont like you

cause of ur response in this thread

im sorry but are u stupid! what kind of question is that!

and there is no excuse for her being young, if she is that young and dumb she would have never found this site!

and who is snowbunny?

That's probably the best way to put it

How would walking down "the hood" yelling "nigga" answer her question? She asked why it's ok for the black community to call each other "nigga" but get so offended when anyone else says the word. She didn't ask the best way to go about getting her ass kicked.


How does it make one seem ignorant? The black community calls themselves a derogatory term... you don't see how that seems ignorant?
That'd be the same as me having all of my friends call me "dumb-ass" as a term of endearment. "Dumb-ass" is a derogatory term. Why would I want someone calling me that?
In the same way... the "n-word" is a derogatory term... yet the black community insists on calling themselves that. You really don't see how that seems a bit ignorant?

(Oh, and just a little FYI... the whites didn't take "your people" from their land. Well, they did... but they're not 100% to blame. Your own people rounded your anscestors up and sold them as slaves. It's not like the white man went and invaded Africa to make slaves... the Africans sold your ancestors to the white man.)


I don't want to use the word... but I'm also curious as to why it's ok for the black community to use the word "nigga" yet get so angry when anyone else uses the word.

But we don't understand. We hear the black community prasing the term by using it all the time... so we're a bit confused with the paradox of why it's ok for some to use the word but not others.

If it's "basically the same" then that makes it all the more confusing. Why would the black community feel that it's ok to be called a racially derogatory term by those in the community?
That'd be the same as the mentally handicapped wanting their friends to call them "Retard"... it just doesn't make any sense.

I don't believe it's a stupid question. I believe it's a question that the black community should ask itself. Why is it ok for your friends to call you a racially derogatory term?

She's the person who first asked the question.

I hate it when ANYBODY (yes including blacks) use the N word. I don't even understand why blacks today use that word when it was meant to degrade black people and refer to them as ignorant people. It gives white people more reasons to down our race and talk worse about us.

ur a child

way I see it, white people been using it and brothers were getting disrespected in that way, now that we are a more tolerant country white people have stopped using the word (as much), niggas in the ghettos turned the shit around and we using it like "yeh wateva, we are niggers/niggas"

we turned the bad into something good or something thats accepted in the black community, dumb bitches like 'snow-white bunny cracker' see it as a racist term from anyones mouth, but if you weren't around at the time it was transformed into a word that was used regularly by black people or brothers living in poorer parts of cities (where it started to be used) then you can't grasp that the meaning to us has changed when we say it.

nigger is a completely different word to any other racial slur in that the history behind it is different. you never been to Harlem and seen a sign saying "no crackers" have you?
and any other word thats racist to asians or arabs or wateva has no weighting to the history/background of the word nigger

This is a dumb topic. White ppl just cant say it! Yall sho would get offended if we called you a cracker or redneck so just out of fucking respect dont say nigger/nigga if you are white.

Mexicans on the other hand............I feel like they are still going through the same kind of crazy ass struggle blacks used to go through back then. So they understand the pain behind that word so hey Latinos go crazy with the word....because it applies to yall too!

their struggle? verbal abuse ain't much of a struggle duke

"White people just can't say it" still doesn't answer the question. Why get offended when a white person says "nigga" in the exact same context that your friend would call you "nigga"? He's not saying it for the same reasons people back in the day called black people "niggers". Ya'll use the word as a term of endearment... so why get upset when a white person uses the word?

i believe the only man who probably go through as much shit as the black man is The Native American Man..they were the frist to discover the white man's evil(i'm not talking about white people as a whole)...they were kicked off their lands etc..they are still getting mistreated to this day..the only difference is that people seem to have more respect for the natives then the Black Man...Mexicans and latinos on the other hand...they probably have the same struggles but not as bad as the black man and Native American men

Dont ask questions if u dont wanna get ya ass whooped ...plain and simple... and if ur a female dont think you wont get ur boyfriends ass whooped saying it to the wrong person....and dont think some sistas wont fuck u up either.....its simply disrespectful...y would u want to say something thats disrespectful to an entire race?.... There should be no reason to even b curious about it because it shouldnt be in your vocabulary......

this dude came correct, co-sign to the fullest
