Is wigger a racist word? the N word is banned but this word isnt? why is that

the bottom line is that using the word wigger trades on an assertion of the and word. that's the denotation the connotation is that diversity is a bad thing and you are a race traitor have somehow betrayed the ''white club'' for the black one. if you actually think about it, its a highly racist word and way of thinking. it is anti human. anti freedom and pro facist little race club.

use of the word nigger in this thread is pretty bloody necessary. however please don't use it as an excuse to shoot the and word for fun. go somewhere else where that sh*t is actually rebellious in your tiny little mind.

  • Hey, good question.. thanks for asking :)

    I don't personally see wigger as an insult or racial slur,however I do see CRACKER as being one and how it's perfectly acceptable for people to throw that about but as soon as anyone dares touch upon the N word were all told we're in serious trouble and it's wrong bla bla bla.

    OMG ,Society is crazy annoying. I think there's going to be racial slurs for EVERY corner of the globe some yes are inhumane and some are a lot worse, as generations continue and are not taught properly ,educationally that is, it will continue. Its a double standand when a Black person can get away with calling a white person a cracker but a white person cannot get away with calling a black person a n*****.

    Its the hyped up sensation of what black people went through many many many many MANY generations back. A lot of people since then from many races have gone through a lot worse yet the sympathy part is on the side lines. If you can break through and not have a racial slur for the two predominant races of the world, I think we'll be making a change. However, I don't see that happening anytime soon.

    In short it's a double standard of societies and generations (if that makes any sense?)?

  • And further more...instead of getting so offened about his "new" word,you need to look up Americas most recent history.The 1960s dude and even before that. Have you had to endure hearing stories of your parents or grandparents getting called a nigger? No. Did you grow up with stories of your great grandparents picking cotton because they were considered a nigger?No. Have you had to hear stories of your parents not be able to use the same toilets as caucasions because they were considered...a nigger? No. Have you heard stories of family members who had to sit in the back of buses,restaurants etc because they were considered being a nigger?No. And lastly,have you walked down the street in a prodominantly white neighborhood,and some one yells out of there car,"Nigger"! NO. You haven't. But you know what? I HAVE TO ALL OF THE INSTANCES I MENTIONED. Your point is valid,but small in the whole scheme of things. It's like complaining that you are starving,when all you have to do is get up and go to a store and get food. Meanwhile, someone in Cambodia hasn't eaten in a week...literally. Your point is THAT valid...as to say...It really isn't. I have nothing more to say about it. :)

    • damn girl. did you really just double post. 1 you didn't go through these things. you didn't go through anything so don't talk sh*t to me. 2 you don't know me or where me and mine. you sit there on a f***in thrown made on the tears of others and you dotn have the first understanding of the f***kkers that would kill to keep people from associating. you dotn have a clue about any of it cos its something you read in a fairy book. you got racist people all ove this thread and you come at me.

    • you betray the legacy of your family. you betray the legacy of the WHITE PPL WHO DIED FOR YOU and the black people who did. mlk had a dream, and you would be his f***n nightmare. so nice to never have to fight for what others are still dying for. you must sleep well trolling the one f***in person on here that ain't going on like a racist d***. go say it to the man you f***in lapdog,.

    • lastly you don't know sh*t about me, but if you think for a minute your families story trumps my heritage and its struggle then you are beyond fkin stupid. I promise you that.

  • i don't consider wigger racist cause it is a person CHOOSING to act a certain way.

    the and word was designed to insult black people just because of their skin, something they can't change,

    as for non white people calling white people "white boy" or "cracker" it does mean the same thing as calling a black man "boy" or a hispanic as "spic" etc... but the reason why its tolerated is because white people used to call colored people all sorts of names freely before civil rights. and the colored people couldn't retaliate for obvious reasons, so I think people use white, derogatory names as overdue revenge. and its accepted in most cases as not being overly racist.

  • I think it's funny and stupid to see a white walking around with his hair like Bob Marley. If voter intimidation (that is it's apparently legal for two armed black panthers to scare the sh*t out of white voters) is a one way street, then I call any nut case who thinks he's Bob Marley a wigger.

  • im just curious here...are you upset because someone called you a wigger? be honest. :)

    • nope. kust heard the word once to often. i don't like the and word. therefore I don't like wigger either. i also don't like when black people call white people ''white boy'' its the racial pejoritive and more aggravatingly it is attacks diversity. anything that attacks diversity is attacking all the 4 basic freedoms all at once and trying to homogonise people into ultimately fake racial group. they are doing with race + culture what islamofacists do with religion. it just makes me sick. I spit on that.

    • but I hear white people describe people as "black girl, black boy" what's the difference? should we just not use color and sex to describe people, is that what you're saying? and I fail to see how any of this "attacks diversity." again, out of curiosity are you white or black? are you stereotypically ghetto, preppy, etc.? lol and no spitting mister!

    • correction. I do see what you mean about diversity if you mean feeling like you have to adapt to a mold based on race and how you should behave. I thought you meant something else. you should still answer my questions though. :)

  • People don't think it's racist because they're calling someone out for acting like something they're not, I think it's stupid. I think the use of the and word has now become more of a brother type word only among the African American community which is outrageously inappropriate since they complained it was racist but use it amongst themselves. It's racist, plain and simple.

  • There are plenty of rascist words out there,but the "N" word has more of a negative historic origin...hence so much negativity surrounded by it.I understand what you are saying,but other words are probably not going to be banned.The "N" word is assosiated with slavery etc...w*gger is not. It's still negative and offensive,however as any racially degrating word is.

    • it is the and word. that's the point. ffs.

    • N word*

    • No it's not.Theres a difference. The W word is not the "N" word. It's a shadow of the actual word and meaning. It's something that's "new" in comparison.The impact is not even close to saying nigger.

    You a FUKKEN WIGGER!?

    A Wigger is usually a white person who tries to act like a compton gangster when they aren't at all. I don't know wether it means a 'Wannabe Nigger' or a 'White Nigger', but its not really racist. Its just an insulting word for a try-hard. You don't really get them here, you don't even get real niggers where I am.

  • because the word nigger has a strong historical background, the word wigger doesnt.

    • yes but wigger depends on the word nigger for its meaning. its a shortened version of white nigger which is something that would be socially unacceptable.

    • yes I know what it means, the word wigger is baisically a new word. the word nigger has been around for a very long time, that's why its treated differently. and the word wigger is often seen more as a joke than something offensive, but I know what you mean.

    • its a joke and therefore not offensive. have you heard yourself? the word is an attack on diversity by racists. just because you don't find it offensive, it don't mean everyone don't find it offensive. one word trades on the other, its exactly as offensive as the word nigger.

  • **Disclaimer**

    I absolutely mean no offense whatsoever...

    'Nigger' in history is different from the modern version I use and or hear used. Everyone knows it in the old sense, but the way it is used around me is not directed to a skin color but to a lifestyle, attitude, or workmanship.

    Wigged has no historical sting but means to slander either way. I don't know anyone (with the exclusion to a very small group) that it offends.

    • really and truly is does offend ppl. and the use of it is like some red neck brown shirt keeping the tribe in line. 20 years ago the word nigger lover would have been used. its patently racist, in mindset and in usage.

    • :O I'm offended.

    • it shouldn't depend on offense to question words. everyones got the right to question what they want or to act how they want. you can't control how people act. its their freedom to do what they want. to then harrass them and act like you are funny is sick and ugly.

    • Uhhh, what? It's only offensive if you let it be.

    • thats a bs argument. are people meant to assert their right to act freely every time someone tries to put a social straight jacket on them. that's ridiculous. its easy to say silly little words aren't offensive, but really and truly I doubt you ever had to suffer them. you don't have the right to go rouns trying to harrass ppls basic human rights. would you like me to harrass you.

  • If a black person gets offended by the word n***** they are only insulting themselves.

    If you told a non-anorexic skinny person they were fat they'd laugh and not get offended if they truly saw themselves as skinny.

    If you called a virgin a whore would they get offended if they were sure of their "purity"?

    It's like calling a pretty girl ugly and she ends up crying. It's cause she herself thinks of herself as ugly. When you call a black person a n***** and they beat your ass it's because they themselves believe themselves to be a n***** which is why they get upset by it.
