LMAO!! I somewhat agree that the term "Nigga" isn't often used as a racial slur unlike "Ni****". Why? I've heard many black people associating by saying that word. You can find them anywhere on the streets. One guy would be like, "What's Going On Nigga", and the other one would respond by saying, "I'm Doing Good Nigga". But not trying to be stereotypical/racial or in category that falls there, I think that if a white man calls a black man a nigga, the black guy will get offended. But if a black man calls a black man a nigga, I think they would be cool with it. Just think about...you hear the word "Nigga" everywhere in jokes, raps, etc. I think that word has changed it's position from the slang, racial terms to a "most-often used word". Some real slang racial terms include, Ni****, C**** used to offend chinese people, M*** to offend irish people, but how about Nigga? I don't 100% agree with the white teacher, but man that was funny. He deserves to be on the chapelle show. DISCUSS!

"Can you lend a nigga pencil??" rofl. *dying*

Well even if the student had(which it appears he did not) used the term "Nigga" it still isn't in any way,shape, or form appropriate for the teacher to use that word. If the teacher had a problem with the student saying it(again, which it appears he did not)then he should've disciplined the student, not used the term back at him. Also, with the way things are these days, its just in very poor taste for any non-african american to use that word unless with people who are truly understanding of that person's intent. Just like I have once or twice said "Nigga" around my friends, they know how I mean it, as a fun light-hearted greeting. They say it back to me. Not to be in anyway tied with the other N word which I have only said once(about 10 years ago) then once I found out what it meant I have never had the urged nor ever again used that fowl word. Also some of my friends are mexican, they don't mind if I say "Wet back" too. But I never say any of those words if I'm in a social setting where I know my intent will not be understood and/or tolerated.

It goes back to that saying "there is a time and place for everything". I let my friends call my "White Trash", "Cracker", "Honky" and anything else they like so long as I know that it is done in a friendly manner.

you jacked this thread stright from another forum





i feel bad for the teachre, he looks like one of those dudes that everyone likes.. and its not all his fault, i bet there are tons of non black kids that use the n-word in that school.. just ignorant

the teacher said that he used the n-word alot and nobody said anything, so i believe the student wasnt offended until it was convienient for him. so both parties faulted

the video is str8 comedy though

To me, there aren't "two" n-words.
Both of them are the same degrading word. A word that is not a "fun, light-hearted greeting".

"Hey, how are you?" Is a "fun, light-hearted greeting". A racial slur, is not.

Thats why I said its to be used only with people who know the intent. Everyone is different. Some people, obviously like yourself, detest the word and any variation of it. That's fine. But I wouldn't be saying it around you. I would never say it around someone who was uncomfortable with it. So they can be two seperate words. Just like fcuk. I can say it to make someone angry and then its a bad word. Its not a bad word to me if its used to emphasize something like "That was fcukin' funny".

Personally, I'm Chinese, and I don't really feel strongly about people (even if they weren't Chinese) calling me "chink" in an offhand way. If, of course, they said it in some threatening or offensive way (in that tone people use when they're trying to insult you), I'd be offended. I think that being called 'Ching Chong Chinaman' is a heck of a lot more insulting though because of course we don't speak like that.

Am I the only one that doesn't think what he did was so horrible?

Of course I think it was a stupid idea to use nigga in class, but still. 10 days suspension? Is that fair?

The way the kid said the teacher said it, it would have been bad. The kid made it seem like the teacher said it in a cranky, obnoxious tone. After hearing the teacher's side, however, I believe the teacher said it in a joking way.

Also, he seems like the old white guy who wouldn't know better and just tried to fit in. Like the parents that start calling their kids 'homies'.

In my opinion, THE MAN DID NOT COMMITED A CRIME! It's true what he says, students use the word, "nigga" as a term to call their friends "dude". I use the word "nigga" everyday when talking to my friends, and I aint black. I have a white teacher who uses the word nigga, on other black students, and they don't complain, cuz they now it's reffered as a "dude" word. The way I see it, he was just trying to be "hip". No crime here. Now "nigger", that's a diff. story.

Agreed with most points.

If the teacher got into trouble for saying nigga, then so should everyone else. If he got 10 days suspension, so should every kid who utters the word nigga. Although he was a teacher, from his side of the story, I think he was one of those white teachers who dont know any better, and think they can joke around like that.

The reason I think the teacher got in so much trouble is for one, the kid made a big deal out of it and the principal probably got a lot of heat from his parents. Also teachers are just supposed to know better. The teachers are supposed to set examples of proper language, not cave and use slang. Although I do think the kid is lying about not saying it. At first I was more believing of him but then thinking about other kids saying he didn't, that's probably BS. Students would so lie for another student, even if they didn't dislike the teacher, students like drama and love to take sides, especially sides of friends and equals. But regardless, the kid could've said it everyday, the teacher should've known better.

ETA: I just thought of another reason he probably got the punishment he did. You're going to have people who don't see a difference in the words and be extremely mad if he didn't get a strong punishment. The school rather suspend him for over a week and save themself the trouble of all those complaints.

I agree. He's "guilty" of very poor judgement.

You act like somebody whos heard of the word only a couple times and don't know what the meaning of the word is.

And no, he doesn't deserve on the Chapelle show you idiot. Stop gigling like a school girl, cause this isn't that funny.

Yeah that part where he says he emphasizes the "H" was great. That whole part was great. It actually made me kind of laugh out loud... Which I usually don't.
