I'm aware of this, I was being sarcastic in my post. I honestly think every single person is racist to some exent, otherwise we wouldn't segregate ourselves by race. We would instead see each other as one individual human race.

Why did you provide links?

Btw I really like your sig.

Why is this topic still going?

This topic is a bowl of epic failure.

It's just a word.

It's just a bump.

The "N" word is simply repulsive. And I'm sick and tired of black people using it and especially claiming they're the only ones who are allowed to use that word. It's not just a word... there's a nasty history behind it, there's actual emotions behind it, AND physical & mental torment.

Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr. fought for equality and human rights... and this is how their people repay them? Disgusting.

Words are repulsive when you empower them.

You don't have to empower it. It is already empowered. Go to a 80 year old black woman or man and call her the "N" word even if you wanna "slang" it so it doesn't sound as bad. And I bet either she'll/he'll cry or she'll/he'll be pissed to hell. Why do people need to use such a word? The KKK said that word as they hung black men and women and children, the KKK used that word when they used to chase after blacks and hunt them down like animals, the KKK used that word instead of their names, the KKK used that word to refer to them as a specific people, the KKK used that word as they burned black churches and tormented black people.

By using the "N" word all you're doing is giving power to the White Supremacy, they are achieving their goal when blacks use that term towards another black.

As a Black man, simply saying the word doesn't offend me. I think it's more offensive to be told by a white person, "you speak so well!"

If you ban n****er, you'd have to ban s**c, kike, ginny, wop, mick, etc, etc, etc.

Because you've been won over.

Damn this is one hell of a topic.
question...
so why do they make a big deal about what black people say.
if white people or other different races of people can use certain words to call each other like honkey cracker s**c and what not but find it offensive if someone else uses it
then why make a big deal over the word n*gga?
and there's a difference
n*gga and n****er
you should break that down to.

No offense, but I think the whole "n*gga" and "n****er" thing is stupid. It doesn't bother me if people chose to use a racial slur. What bothers me is how they are using the word. People will still use a word regardless of if you've banned it.

I've never met a person other than a black person who referred to their own race as a racial slur.

Just sayin.

Won over? How, exactly? Feel free to fill me in on what you know about my life and what is/isn't important to me.

you view it as a racial slur the people if you ask them
don't refer to it as a racial slur.
they make a visual difference in the word n*gga and n****er
and they define the word that they use.
not as a racial slur but as a "term of endearment"

The fact that KKK members and white supremacists til this day use that word gives me every right to dislike the word. Just because you make it "ga" and not "ger" doesn't mean crap. The only difference between the two is "dialect". Nothing more.

Amen. Finally someone sees my way of thinking.

n*gga please i otta pop a cap in yo bitch ass

yeah it does mean crap. The usage of the word are looked at differently from all people. If you saw two people black calling eachother n*gga, would you step into their conversation and tell they how offensive you find it? f*ck no, they obviously know that neither of them are trying to offend eachother. you just seem to choose to view n*gga and n****er as the same.

No. Instead, I'd laugh at their pathetic ignorance, and then feel sorry that their parents didn't teach them better.

BOSS I advise you to do a thorough study on the History of African men and women. Otherwise you'll be another person thinking there's nothing wrong with the word. God America IS shit.

Then why are you here?

Make money. Almost reached my goal then moving the eff out as this country as it rots further.

Why not make money elsewhere? Surely there are opportunities in say, Europe, Asia, or maybe your ugly wife's anus?
