What's up with the "N" word?

Question

Why is every non-black person so afraid of the "N" word? And why is it that black people use that word but fly off the handle when whites use it?

Answer 1

I take it you're afraid of the word niggger because I notice the lack of it in your question... I'm white and I'll say it. Niggger niggger niggger.... who cares... Call me a cracker, honkey whatever.... it's a word...get over it.

Answer 2

I understand slavery is "over", but the root of the word runs deep. When does a word change meaning over time? When the subject becomes adapted to being called such, the word is used to address one in conversation. Over 300 years of being yelled, spat, and shouted this word; eventually it enters into thier own venacular. No other word has the effect it sets off and it has never went "out of style". Throughout the history of this country, white men have found ways to demean and break the spirits of the minorities. Trail of Tears, slavery, Japanese war camps, Zoot Suit Riots, are just a few examples. It's not a matter of "I'm not a ****, ******, or wop", it's the backround of the word being used by another race.

As long as Latinos are sexy in the media and the Black man continues to set global trends, they will hate.

Answer 3

I love the word niggger, I use it all the time. It is the only word that has any power anymore, I can say "I want to assrape a nun and have her lick the **** off the head of my cock" and no one raises an eyebrow, If I say niggger though watch out. The second part of my point is to thin about what the word means, stupid, ignorant, inferior and lazy. Generally when you hear two black people using it that definition fits dead on. Whenever you do hear two blacks using it just replace niggger witht the above definition in your head laugh heartilly and keep walking.

Answer 4

I personally feel that no one should be using the "N" word; however, some Blacks do use it in normal conversation without there being a problem, usually. When a white person uses that word, it takes on a whole new meaning, which is worse than the "N" word itself.

Answer 5

The ones the word N!ger pisses off are just that. If they are not one why would it bother them. I don't get mad when I hear the word cracker because I know I am a white American male with no rights in this country because all the special groups took them away from me.

It is just a matter of time before blacks, Mexican, whites and Asians will all be friends and will fight one common enemy called Islam. They don't care if what your color is or what words that come out of your mouth if you are not Islam you are dead.

Answer 6

Why are "non-blacks" afraid? Because some African Americans will take offense and literally beat the living hell out of you, speaking honestly. Some of us may say "******" now and use it as an everyday term in respect. "******"sometime means "brother" and "homie" depending on the context. Now let me tell you I don't accept that title in anyway what so ever. I refuse to use it, but only in this case since you asked about it. -.- Now why will we be upset if any other race call us that? Because that term was given to degrade us. Now i don't agree that we should even acknowledge that term in our vocabulary, since it disrespected our ancestors.

Answer 7

The "N" word is great to use, & be turned on by with other people BOTH black & whites, who you know well enough, & share this turn on sexually, & other ways especially by whites into full time Niggering, & by Blacks who understand certain whites are turned on by being called "************". It gets to the down right "nitti gritty" of things. I can't beleive how many both blacks & whites are so stupid not to know this is going on.

Answer 8

I'm not afraid of the N word..I just think it's tremendously insulting...black people can call other black people names that I cant and wouldn't...but I can call gay friends fags queers and dykes..if I know them well enough ..because they know where it's coming from and that it's nonjudgemental..it's a kind of bonding...establishing that we have common grounds.

Answer 9

Nobody should use it. It was a word used to degrate my (blacks) ancestors. My boys use it but I dont. What does it accomplish? Nothing. People arnt thinking for themselves, they say it just cuz everyone else is.

Answer 10

because their race grew as a minority being put down and seen as scum so they think they can do anything and when they get in trouble they call the person racist and if we had like white history month we'd be racist and if we had white entertainment television we'd be racist, and if we had a March to support white power we'd be racist. So thats the deal with the ******* ;)
