nigguh what!!!???, cmon dont warn me again. this is a fair topic. just read it Options

[*corizzle20*]

so, i go in class and call my black homie "sup nigguh?" he's like don't call me that, nigguh, or imma bust ur face. im like, "what's up with u? how come u can call me nigguh and i aint even black?" he says "cuz im black".

ok wtf.... my question is, "why do black people get to call everyother race nigge3r, but the other races can't call him a nigguh back? stupid nigg3r insults his own race. lol.

//edit.
so the reason i got warned was: Racist comments, and being extremely inconsiderate to the other members.

ok this topic isn't racist. im not the one being racist. my black friend was. and im curious on the answer to my question, as im sure a lot of u are too.

You used "nigger" as an insult. That's why you don't get to use it.

But even if you didn't/don't mean it as an insult, you have to understand the history behind it; it was used by bigot, racist white people to dehumanize Black folks. As a result, we don't take kindly to people, other than ourselves, using it, for the most part. And it's only in the last two or three decades that Black people have turned the original meaning of the word to something akin to "family" or "brother/sister." Is it a double standard? Yes, I'm not going to pretend like its not. But it is one that is culturally and historically charged.

Also, there's a big difference between "nigger" with an "-er" and "nigga" with an "-a."

In any case, I agree with what she's said. ^
But really, I think it'd be better if people would just stop using the word in general.
