+1 yYeah, I have a white friend who says it all the time. And he says the "ER". I don't have a problem with it, but he always yells it in public places, and one time there was a black guy sitting close to us and I was like, "Stop saying that word. There's one over there. If he tries to kick our asses, you guys are on your own."

When I hear white people say it, it makes me feel bad and like I'm being insulted
- +1 y
Honestly, not really, but I used to say it all the time when I was in high school, so I'm not gonna be a hypocrite. Now I only say it online and at home.
I just don't wanna piss people off. If I'm honest, I even get uncomfortable hearing black comedians say it. Like a couple niggers is fine, but if they say it every other word I'm like, "WOW! Okay, they're taking it a bit too far."

Like would you call me the n word and be fine with it

I mean, not as an insult. But I used to call my black friend in high school "nigga" and he didn't care. He was half Mexican anyways.
Maybe if I knew you, and you were cool with it, "I'd call you "nigga", but I wouldn't call you nlgger to your face. - +1 y
But also, with the Kendrick Lamar thing, I think if they're singing rap lyrics it's fine.

No one respects black people that's the problem
- +1 y
If you want respect, you have to earn it. And unfortunately, there are a lot of black people who act inappropriately and ruin the reputation of all blacks.
The reason people are racist against blacks is because a lot of them rob, rape and kill and lose their temper easily. - +1 y
And if I'm honest, I've traveled to 3 black countries, and those three countries happened to be the rudest I've ever traveled to. Black people are bringing this bad reputation on themselves.

You're not the problem. You should watch Chris Rock's Blacks vs. Nlggers - +1 y

I do see the problem within the black community, the culture has become a culture full of crime and violence. It's one of the reasons why people think we are uneducated and criminals. We should stop proving them right

2K opinions shared on Society & Politics topic. I can barely let that word pass my lips even if I am talking about how bad it is. I grew up in the "black is beautiful" era, and I was raised to believe it was one of the worst things a person could say.
30 ReplyI know two people, a guy and a girl, who say it.
The guy says it because he pretty much exclusively hangs out with other black guys from his neighborhood. I guess it's a matter of they gave him permission or something? He only ever says it to them. Never to strangers.
The girl that says it is one of the biggest posers I have ever seen. Basically worships the "Cash me ousside" girl. She's got this high pitched squeaky voice and will start dropping n-bombs if people piss her off, which is a daily occurrence.10 Reply
Anonymous(25-29)+1 yYes and as a White person I Think its wrong. It doesn't matter if it is in a song or whatever. My best friend (a guy who is also white) that I have known sence kindergarden has started saying that word to People around him and I have tried to tell him why it's wrong but he doesn't get it. He says "I wasn't even alive when it happend so I haven't done anything". But I tried to explain to him nobody is blaiming YOU SPECIFICLY it is just it has a history behind it which makes it not okay and therefor People who are not Black can't use that Word and esspecially NOT white People. But he doesn't understand.
My sister also does it (she lacks empathy she has even Said she can relate to the signs of a sociopath) and she says it in a song when singing/rapping or when just talking. And I have told her it's wrong but she thinks I'm overreacting. Hopefully they will stop. But I don't know if they will.
I personally Think its wrong but I don't know what other people think21 Reply
Opinion Owner+1 yI am from a bad neighberhood and most People hear aren't white so therefor many People around us can say it and do. So that can effect it bit it's still not okay to use it as a White person at least I Think
I have to laugh at the whole concept. I don't know a single white person that says it, but a ton of blacks, do.
Why? They somehow choose to use this derogatory term against themselves to get attention. They seem to love and thrive on this word. Why? White guilt. It still works for the dumb whites.18 Reply- +1 y

They do it because it's a learned practice. Everyone around them says it so they say it. It's thought to them by their family and the people surrounding. Although, I myself do not use the n word to greet or talk to my friends

I sense hostility in your tone. Need a hug?
I tried to watch a black comedy last week. I couldn't stomach it.
"Hey nigga" What's up nigga?" "Are you hungry, nigga?' "No, I'm good nigga"
It's like... give it a fucking rest! We GET IT. lol
I'm glad you don't use the word, because it really is kind of dumb. - +1 y
What black comedies did you watch? I've never heard them say the n word so frequently
- +1 y

I may have exaggerated the frequency of the n word, but you get the point. The reason I didn't finish the movie, wasn't because of my disgust with the word, it was because of the stupidity of it's use.
I thought the movie had a lot of potential, because it was about the premise that on one day out of the year, you could commit any crime that you wanted, and it would be OK.
I'm sure that you and I could of created a better movie, given the same plot. But this thing sucked shit.
Not really... I know an Italian guy that calls a Vietnamese guy a n** and the Vietnamese guy calls the Italian guy a n**. They're obviously fucking with each other especially since they've been friends since elementary school. Other than that not can't think of anyone but it's just a word and anyone can use it whenever they want. If you have an issue with it, then un-fuck yourself and get your head straight.

You just sound like an angry racist. You hold that hatred in your heart and are looking for words to be able to insult me because I'm white even though my ancestors didn't enslave your ancestors, they didn’t own ships to take them across the ocean, they didn’t own colonial plantations, etc. Shit my family wasn’t even in America until they themselves poor starving political and religious refugees were driving out of Europe under threat of death to only arrive in America in places like New York and Pennsylvania to have to fight in a war to free your sorry ass. Then they slaved in coal mines and saved every penny and invested in their children. Again they had to go off to war to fight against other tyrants to save the world from the spread of fascism and luckily made it back alive again. Eventually they they made it up the ladder through hard work and perseverance and by educate their children and caring about their community and came up in the world.
- +1 y
Guess what they got here in America with nothing to their name the same time slaves were free or after. But heh just because maybe a half of a percent of white Americans are descended from people that took advantage of slavery which was common every where in the world at that period of all peoples including Europe where the poor where indentured to the aristocracy you have to try and start shit with me. You don’t see me crying because my native American ancestors had all their land stolen and my tribe was wiped off the face of the earth through genocide do you? Grow the fuck up and do something to improve your own life. Being a racist is just holding you back.

Have you ever called someone white? Well that's the same thing... Do you think I've never been called white before? Here's a quick lesson for you. Nigreos is a latin word that means black. Over time latin Nigreos turns to Spanish Negro. Spain has relations with England and France so different pronunciations pop up. Spanish Negro becomes French Negre and English Neger. Then over time Neger turns to N! gger. Then African Americans turn N! gger into N! gga. It's all the same word and means black. So someone called you black... Is that really so destructive to you? Because if you scroll down the page I see you calling all sort of people "white".
I like racial insults but n** sounds so bad. And why are we treating the stupid word like fuckin' Voldemort? niggerniggerniggerniggerniggerniggerniggerniggerniggerniggernigger

Like I've noticed when I'm around white people my demeanor changes. It's like I'm still trying to be accepted
I have heard people say it, and it offends me, but then I hear more people say words that to me are worst, and terrible these words are quote
"son of a bitch" meaning their mother must be a bitch and you hear that on TV a lot, no one's mother is a bitch they are ladies00 Reply
