Is it okay to say “nigga” while singing along to rap music if you’re not black?

[Anonymous]

Yes

No

[hannahjo022]

I feel uncomfortable saying the word and I don't even say it around my black friends. They can say it but not me. They told me its ok for me to say it around them since its part of the lyric in the song. Sorry I just can't.

[doopayo]

No.. it’s not even that hard, I’m black and I barely say it

@Rangers tf is wrong with you

[supercutebutt]

Rangers is an evil Trumptarded gentleman. :(

If you're so offended over people using the N word while you guys probably use it constantly, the problem is with you, not me. Pound some more sand, we have freedom of speech and that freedom doesn't go away because you're offended. You trying to control what people can say inspires me to purposefully say exactly what you're trying to keep people from saying because you're a fascist. Now here I go... f u c k i n g N I G G E R! Just like you have the right to endorse Antifa, I have the right to say offensive things, our founding fathers and brave men, much more brave than any of us, fought and died for us to have that right and nobody cares if you're offended by that.

[MCheetah]

Sure; it's just a word. Context matters. To the "that word has such history" pussies: Stop being a fucking Pavlov's Dog and grow up. If a two syllable mouth sound can make you lose your shit, then you were never a mature independent adult to begin with. It's why people who curse at you in languages you don't know don't offend you. Words have no meaning until you GIVE them meaning, and no one can make you feel upset without your permission.

Nigga this, nigg3r that.. Who cares? Don't let people turn you from being a black man into a nigga. Retain some respect, dignity, pride, independence, and education for yourself and stop getting trolled by southern rednecks trying to troll you with mouth sounds (including some of the Anonymous pussies in this very post). Just laugh at them and go about your day, making money and living proud.

[Miristheiss]

Is the world going to stop?
Are children going to drop dead where they stand?
Is the sun going to go out... the oceans dry up?
No?

It means nothing.

Oh, I"m sure there is some sect of society that will want you immediately fired from your job, you kicked out of the country, your kids taken away... you ostracized for life.
That is how over the top some are.

A word that was considered mean and an insult, you are jerk if you call someone that... it has been given some world ending, radio active power.

[BabyGirlRobin]

Honestly anything and everything you could do could trigger some snowflakes and black people with victim mentalities. As long as you aren't harassing a black person and calling them with a hard r, you don't look down on black people, you aren't racist. Nowadays, just sneezing could be considered racist to some people. "oh my God why did you sneeze towards a dark colored object are you racist?"

[doopayo]

No one has ever found sneezing offensive, like ever

[Qdbrown]

I disagree with blacks getting to own that word or variations. The problem is, they still use it and use it in media and song, but no else can use it, even if they like the song?

[andreasderjuengere]

Each thing has its own good place and its own good time.
We see times where certain people are highly over-sensitive (or just feel bored?) and so it's a good idea to consider where and when you recite rap crap..

[SlightlyEccentric]

Gotta love the hypocrisy, "rules for thee but not for me." What's the point of rules if were not all held to the same standard?

[doopayo]

Historically it was used to oppress black people. That’s why black people can take it back for ourselves but not other races as they weren’t ever oppressed by the word in the first place. Plus it is not hard to avoid saying the word, I’m black and barely say it.

[PatrickRigsby811]

@doopayo
Take it back?
All they're doing is keeping the stupid N word alive and passing it down to the next generation of kids.
They should stop being hypocrites and let that stupid word die already.

[doopayo]

The real hypocrites are the white people that made the word racist in the first place. Lmao, society will do anything to place the blame on us black folks. We aren’t responsible nor are gonna take responsibility for “keeping the word alive” the n words apart of black history and it’s here to stay.

If your black you have the right to choose if you want to use the word or not. End of story

[jspl90]

either the word is bad or its not the word does not change with your skin colour

[SlightlyEccentric]

@doopayo nigga, please.

[doopayo]

@jspl90 yes it does, blacks people haven’t oppressed other black people with that word historically so stop taking the blame away from white people. Be accountable for once

[PatrickRigsby811]

@doopayo
First of all look up the word hypocrisy because your example doesn't fit the definition.
Making a word racist is not hypocrisy.
Secondly, if black people truly hate that N word, they would stop saying it, and yes, anyone who still uses the N word in 2021 is responsible for keeping it alive.
If they stopped using it, it would have less and less meaning to future generations.
Kids wouldn't even relate to it eventually.
Your whole argument is ignorant as hell and does nothing to promote equality or respect amongst races.
Anybody using the N word is ignorant and it's just divisive and counterproductive.
It isn't something that's meant to be used to prolong a victim mentality.

[doopayo]

I don’t promote equality because I’m saying white people aren’t allowed to use a word they’ve historically used to oppress black people? Lmfao

Notice how yt people feel like it’s such a crime when they aren’t allowed to do something, it’s so funny. No you can’t use the n word and black people can use it cause when we use it we don’t even use hard r and it doesn’t and will never have the same connotation as a white person saying it.

Look up a history book, not my problem if you don’t know the history behind the word but the black community has every right to take the word back for ourselves.

[doopayo]

Acting like it’s the black communities fault for a racist word they didn’t even create, how bout you go give the same energy to the racist white folks that call people that look like me niggers than we can talk💀

[SlightlyEccentric]

You don't oppress people with words, idiot. You oppress with action. Words are words and only the one they are directed at can or cannot take offense to it (in the case of black people, almost always the latter). Your exceptionalism in word choice for one race but not another is in fact racist. If you hate it so much but passively accept it when black people do it, you are without a shadow of a doubt, a massive fucking hypocrite.

[PatrickRigsby811]

@doopayo
Do you realize that most of the white people who are alive now are not responsible for that term or the oppression of black people?
Do you realize that you yourself were never a slave?
It seem like you still think that we owe you something.
You don't sound like someone who's oppressed and suffering, you sound like a modern aged spoiled brat who's pretending that she's suffered like her ancestors just so she can get attention.
You're being ridiculous and any ignorant white person can use the N word.
Nobody can stop them.
This is all just bullshit and you know it.
I

[doopayo]

I ain’t saying that you owe me shit, you’re the one acting like black people owe whites the n word.

We just don’t, and stop playing that “you where never a slave” card? My fucking grandma was alive during segregation. Don’t act like that shit was so long ago, y’all really expect the black community to “get over” something as traumatic as slavery.

You never ever see people telling Jewish people they shouldn’t be afraid of the nazi flag.

But when it comes to black people we aren’t given that kind of empathy.

I never claimed to have suffered what my ancestor did, I’m claiming the history of black America. Sorry if that offends you for some reason cause you’re getting real heated at me for something that you claim “doesn’t matter to you, since white people can’t be stopped from saying it”

Ain’t nobody saying you can’t fucking say it, we’re saying it’s racist abd disrespectful so if you say the n word say it with your chest in front of a black person. Don’t be a pussy about it, ironically most white people wouldn’t do that cause they know exactly what would happen

[SlightlyEccentric]

I'm not expecting owance. What I am expecting is you to make a choice: that either anyone can say it without scorn or no one can say it and everyone who uses it, regardless of race, gets scorn. Can you at least do that, or am I asking too much?

[PatrickRigsby811]

@doopayo
Oh and what would happen, are you threatening white people with violence for saying a stupid word?
That sounds an awful lot like oppression to me.
If you wanna play the victim for the rest of your life for something that didn't happen to you, go ahead, but don't surpised when more and more people start calling you out.
Stop being a poser, you live in a better time and you should be embracing equality rather than promoting the opposite.

[doopayo]

Literally no, I already explained how historically and in the present that’s bullshit.

You don’t see white people having to deal with racially aggravated attacks where they’re referred to as a “dirty nigger” like a young black man had to deal with in an attack where he was run over and had racial slurs yelled at him.

This happened in 2020 by the way, not 1960.

www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-bristol-53598758

You can’t give me one example where a white person was attacked and called the n word because that word can’t and will never be weaponized against them

[doopayo]

@patrick that was literally your assumption, I was just pointing out that most white people don’t have the balls to verbally express their racism outside of safe spaces and so I’m asking for them to be real and show their racism rather than hide it in closed doors.

Using the victim card on me isn’t going to work either, I never claimed to have not lived in a better time that was yet again your assumption.

Lastly I’ll ask how I’m not promoting equality by telling white people they shouldn’t use the n word because of the history behind it? Am I forgetting something, cause as I said the n word hasn’t been used to dehumanize white people.

Your thoughts lack intersectionality and a basic understanding of history. I’m also getting you’re probably the kind of person who calls black people victims whenever they talk to you about black history or racism so that explains a lot.

People with your mindset are like talking to walls, y’all aren’t open to different opinions cause you’ve already made up your mind on the subject

[SlightlyEccentric]

Do you feel this disgusted when blacks kill each other in gang related attacks, or are you only offended when white people do it? And just so you know, black on white crime is significantly higher than white on black crime, although I doubt you care about that, right?

[doopayo]

My friend, what does this have to do with anything. We aren’t talking about crime and I already know this is a tactic people with your mindset do to try and push the idea that black people are some how inherently more violent.

You bring up problems about crime in the black community but never have a solution because your goal wasn’t to have a solution to fix the issue. It was to demonize black people

[PatrickRigsby811]

@doopayo
I could not care less whether white people are "Allowed" to say that ugly fucking N word or not.
Personally I choose to never use that term because I love all kinds of people and I have no interest is putting them down or hurting anyone.
What's annoying is when some black people choose to call each other a racial slur constantly.
Then act as if that word is only bad if used by a white person.
My ancestors never had slaves, I see how that N word is disgusting and personally it's offensive when anyone uses it.
It's hypocritical to say It's bad, but then call each other the N word.
Like make up your minds, either it's bad or it's not, but don't start using it as a tool to discriminate or to act as if you're all victims forever.

[doopayo]

People like you really are brick walls, I've already explained to you how the word was used by non black people to dehumanize black people therefore black people using the word doesn’t and will never have the same effect but you seem to just spiral back to your same conclusion.

Straight up ignoring my argument, almost like you have no valid counter argument?

[SlightlyEccentric]

Well since black people know their own people so well, and also since many are so seemingly rejected by the idea of a stronger police presence, perhaps maybe, just maybe, you could provide better solutions, since what has been provided already has clearly not been up to your "stellar" standards. So please, lets hear what you would propose to flatten the black on black curb.

[PatrickRigsby811]

@doopayo
Why are you assuming that I'm those people who used that word to dehumanize black people?
Why are you judging me solely on my skin color and not the content of my character as an individual?
I think you enjoy this idea that you can treat every white person as if they're responsible for history.
I truly see you as a very racist young woman.

[doopayo]

Nobody is saying that you use the word to dehumanize black people 💀 I said that the words historically been used by non white people to dehumanize black people.

And don’t you go misquoting Martin Luther King when I know god damn well you don’t know his values.

“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.”

He was referring to black people, not white people. White people weren’t dehumanized the way that black people were during slavery.

And the way that white people are so quick to misquote Martin Luther king and use a quote that was obviously in reference to black people and use it to defend their own racism is not gonna fly with me.

You really using a Martin Luther quote to defend non black peoples use of the n word, how sick do you have to be as a person?

[doopayo]

If you see my as racist, you have no idea what real racism is. Trust me, you’re not the one being spit at and called a virus right now. If you’re white, I doubt anyone’s called you any racial slurs in your life. And no, being referred to as a snow roach doesn’t count.

Anyways imma go on with my life, I gain nothing by educating people that don’t want to be educated

[PatrickRigsby811]

This still apllies.

[doopayo]

I’m racist because I’m telling you you can’t use a word that was used to oppress and dehumanize my ancestors? White fragility is real

[PatrickRigsby811]

@doopayo
You're a hypocrite for that part because you still use the racist word yourself.
You're a racist for this reason.

Do you think history doesn’t exist, do you realize that the n word has historical context that makes it impossible for non black peoples usage of the n word to be as hateful as black peoples usage of the n word. Come on, I don’t believe a human being can be this dense.

You can call me a hypocrite and a racist but you can’t answer my questions or make a counter argument.

[doopayo]

You’re literally just repeating yourself, it’s as if you know that your argument is a non argument that has no backing or meaning it makes no sense.

You claim black and white people shouldn’t say the n word, I explain that isn’t the case because of historical context, you make no new arguments to further your claim and instead just call me racist?

You can admit you don’t have an argument instead of making yourself look stupid.

[PatrickRigsby811]

@doopayo
I keep repeating this point from earlier because it really is at the core of your problem.
You have no legitimate argument against this.

@doopayo
When people know that they're wrong they will start hurling insults like "Dense" or "Snow roach" or whatever.
You want desperately to be seen as a victim and to get away with hypocrisy and being racist yourself.
You hide behind the struggles of your ancestors and then have the nerve to be a racist yourself.
I can see right through you.
My point is spot on.
"You are assuming that I'm those people who used that word to dehumanize black people?

Straight up delusion

[PatrickRigsby811]

@doopayo
Your arguments are mostly based on an attempt to hide your faults.
I'm not young like you, I've been around a long time. I was in interracial relationships before you were even born.
I have a mixed race child.
I understand that we're all the same and it's really annoying when teenage girls like yourself start acting as if she's living in the past.
You should move forward and learn to treat everyone as equals.
Hypocrisy is like disease that spreads and leads to conflict.

[Qdbrown]

@doopayo this is dumb. No one gets special words they get to own, and worse use.

[jspl90]

@doopayo okay what about the word faggot? if I am not too wrong it was used as a slur towards gay men etc do you think that is a word one should still be used?

[doopayo]

It’s really not that hard to comprehend, y’all just refuse to listen or give a counter argument

[doopayo]

Having a mixed child doesn’t free you from being racist all of a sudden. There are men that have mixed race children and still hold on to their racist believes.

www.google.com/.../

Look at this white dude, he raped and murdered his biracial daughter. You havin a biracial child means absolutely nothing

[PatrickRigsby811]

@doopayo
What the hell are you talking about, you're the racist one.
We've established that.
You love the N word so much.
I can't belive you're still yapping after this entire thread and you haven't learned shit.
You're a lost cause.
I guess you are only 15 years old so I'm sure there's hope for you to mature one day.
