If black people call you "my nigga" but you're white, does it mean they like you?

[Anonymous]

Is it a sign of acceptance?

[WhiteSteve]

All I could think of when I read this was that movie Whiteboyz when the white kid from Iowa that swears he's hood goes to try to cop drugs in Chicago from these dudes the white kid's one black friend from back in Iowa loosely knows. They whip the white kid's ass, who just doesn't seem to understand the situation, then he stands up after the beating like "am I in?", like he thinks he just got jumped into the gang😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Priceless. ("Am I in?" At 3:39)

One of my favorite South Park episodes of all time.

"There's pizzaaaaaaa..."😂😂😂😂

[DontDropIt]

Depends on how it was said I guess lol

They can say it and mean serious business

i. e. *someone disrespects something of theirs* "Aye, that's not cool, my nigga."

or they can say it like Denzel Washington said it in Training Day.

[Asker]

They said it like Alonzo! haha!

[DontDropIt]

Well then :) you are liked lol

[Asker]

Yaaay! hahaha

[ObviouslyBored]

Yes, they like you. That word really needs to die in a corner somewhere. It confuses the shit out of people

[thesunstillshines]

To me it is
But I usually see black men calling their white friends that

[Asker]

I never heard it before but that's good to know!

[thesunstillshines]

But that's where I'm from I don't know elsewhere

[PinkT15]

Yea I see that a lot where o come from too. It's more like a term used for good friends. I guess the meaning kinda changed over the years.

[Asker]

I'm not even in the USA! haha

[thesunstillshines]

Where do you live

[Asker]

Britain! haha

[MagBane]

I am black and I don't like using that term at all. I used to say it a lot back in middle school because back then at that age you wanted to appear as "cool and gangster" in front of the others.

[MagBane]

I kinda wonder why you disliked my little story.

[Asker]

I duno why you get the thumb down on here, people are idiots. +1 from me anyway :)

[MagBane]

Thank you. But I wasn't complaining about it though. I thought i said something (offensive?) so i wondered why?

[Asker]

I didn't think so either!

[Tokana]

Its not as common up north as it is in the states, even blacks here rarely use it. So if a white guy says it... expect an awkward pause. On top of that there is also the way it is said.

[Asker]

That's true, it's not the word, it's the intent. It sounded positive, but I needed to check and also see how common it is.

[DesiDoo]

Lol I call anybody my nigga regardless of their race. So um I guess its acceptance? Not sure

[minnie_beaut]

Everyone is a nigga these days, it's like saying dude or son or whatever, they might like you but calling you nigga does not mean they like you.

[SavageNick87]

Hahahahahahaha this question is hilarious. You are awesome lol

[LauraMarx]

asterisks would go a long way here at least :/

[Asker]

Can't imagine it in Shankill! lol

[LauraMarx]

they are barbarians. Here on the Falls we use asterisks.

[Asker]

So I hear! Sound carries over water!

[LauraMarx]

what do you think an asterisk is?

[Asker]

Probably what any normal person would have have thought an asterisk was. lol

[LauraMarx]

I'm telling you - like, you're white, right? maybe c*ns*r it next time u wanna use the n word -.-

[Asker]

I just assumed you were being a bit.. non-linear. lol. It's cool, it's not spelled correctly anyway, it was verbatim. I'm guessing like, you're white, right?

[LauraMarx]

yeah

[Asker]

that yeah looks conciliatory all on it's own like that. It's okay to be white. lol

[LauraMarx]

what?

[Asker]

who?

[Succcesssfulll]

Lol, this made me laugh. 😂😂😂

[Asker]

I am happy to spread good vibes!

[Chick180]
