[orphan]

you're a product of your environment. plenty of mexicans, whites, viets, etc say 'nigga' in houston.

[ElvenMr]

LOVE YOU DAVE!

[T-shirtsandkneehighs]

Ahhh i love dave chappelle, i saw him in amsterdam in the summer

[bente2]

Wtf. So I got to not sing a certain word in a song just because i'm white? That's equally racist.

[Anonymous]

How come nigga is so much worse than all the other derogatory terms?
You dont see gay people banning the word 'faggot' for straight people. Or you dont see women banning the word 'bitch" for men. Or Jewish people banning 'kike"

[Opinion Owner]

Well actually the others do kind of ban those words but i meant it isn't as strict and those words are still not seen as bad as the n word

[juststrollin]

It's bad because white propel solely used it to murder tape and beat a people into being mocked and in poverty today. It's a rememberance. It's a sad one, it's ingrained in our culture. It met worthless and such, it's mocking that former meaning and remembering how we are seen in this country and why we are poor and treated differently today, when people are so tight lipped about their racism. If everything was all equal we wouldn't call ourselves that. It's insulting to the people who died being called that by white propel and when white propel have done nothing but pretend it didn't happen and live off of the money owed to black people while they struggle and are still torn down constantly it's mocking when you say it. It's disrespectful. It's continuing tradition when you say it.
Rap is black peoples speaking to other black peope about black situations not you. But it got sold to the major companies and people liked listening to it. You are not addressed yet I'll never understand

[Anonymous]

I'm white and I have black ancestors that were part of the slave trade, so I'll say whatever the fuck I like and everyone else should be able to do so too, I'm not so precious. Also some white people were slaves too so yeah, total bullshit argument.

[Opinion Owner]

If you want skin color to be irrelevant, stop putting conditions on it.

You start telling people they can't say certain things, all you do is cause division and more racism. Great job on inspiring racism...

[jacquesvol]

Which white people were slaves in the USA? Only convicts.

[T-shirtsandkneehighs]

but you're white.

But yet slangs for white people aren't offensive. smh.

[zykiaZynae]

im mixed so i couldn't say why i was told not to use it

[T-shirtsandkneehighs]

what?

[zykiaZynae]

im mixed and all my life my parents said don't use that word

[T-shirtsandkneehighs]

Oh i see

[KawaiiPie67]

I thoguht everyone used that word these days. I've seen white guys call each other that before.

[COCOCHANEL]

what does anyone get out of using the word

[Liltail]

You get to reclaim a word that was once used to basically disrespect your ancestors. I mean whats better then taking a word that the white man created to put your people down and then making it so that white people can no longer say it.

Because when they first said it was so degrade us and when we say it is's a clap back.

[COCOCHANEL]

@Liltail i see

[needhelpp]

The one with the lyrics is stupid if it's in a song and I know the lyrics and I'm singing with it I'm not gonna stop cause that word is in it

[Originali-tea]

Oh, so you can't control what comes out of your mouth?

[needhelpp]

@Originali-tea No I can control what comes out of my mouth that's what I'm saying if it's in a song and I'm singing along I'm not gonna stop because that word is in it

[Originali-tea]

No, you can't control what comes out of your mouth if you're not gonna at least use an alternative. Lmao stop acting clueless.

[needhelpp]

@Originali-tea acting cluess would you stop in one comment you said you can't be racist against white people. If it is a slurry used now for good what makes it so bad for others to say it I get people back in the days had a horrible life but still judging white people that were not involved in it is racist in itself

[Anonymous]

Hahaha, white people getting butthurt that they can't have it all.

[blondfrog]

So White Asians can say it, Arab whites can say it, any non Caucasian who is white can say it?

[Anonymous]

I'm all fine with a word that was used to brand people gets banned. What I don't get is the idea of n-word privileges as it makes their cause moot in my eyes. Either total ban or total acceptance, make up your mind black people.

[Originali-tea]

Search up 'reclaiming slurs'.

[Opinion Owner]

@Originali-tea Simply naming the concept doesn't change my opinion that slurs can't be reclaimed.

I don't like being called "Cracker". I prefer "Saltine American".

[BangBadBxtches]

I appreciate that sense of humor.

[Anonymous]

It's just a word, its only racist if you use it in a negative way.

Am I racist if I read of mice and men?

[TheLuckyOne1]

And if she can use it, then others can use it as well.

[Opinion Owner]

@TheLuckyOne1 its Racism if someone can't do something because of their race.

So if a white person can't say a word because they're white then isn't that racist?

[Anonymous]

I hear more black people use that word than white people do...

[hotstuffSRD]

Good take but I'm not sure which n word are you talking about :P

[Anonymous]

If I had a dollar for every racist thing I said... some black mother fucker would probably rob me.

[jacquesvol]

Nothing to boast about.

[M_A_X]

Nigga isn't the same word as the other word. I'm assuming you mean nigga because there are only 4 asterix

[T-shirtsandkneehighs]

tell me how is it not the same?

[M_A_X]

It isn't the same because black people have said it's not the same? A black guy will say one word to his friends, but not the other word

[M_A_X]

Chris Rock said they're not the same. You're too young to know about that
