I know I am going to take heat for this, but oh well. Yes, the word is derogatory and has negative over and undertones and yes, I would be offended if a non-black says it to me. I was always taught that it is not what you say but how you say it. If some friends of mine and I are sitting around saying the "n" word, that's cool with me. Just as if those same friends and I call each other the "b" word, that's between us and we know we don't mean any harm. But I wouldn't know how to take it if someone I don't know said that to me. It's all about the context.

I am white but think that everyone should know that this "word" we all skate around all the time came from the ancient hebrew and has Jewish Kabbalah Roots. It was originally N-I-G-G-U-N which meant "a repetitive tune that began simply and grew in momentum until it temded to overwhelm". So - in the south it was used to describe the slaves who were expert singers and storytellers. And this is the "Word" we all love to hate. Think about that and then let's all LOL.

I think its a way of distinguishing themselves from whites. Only blacks can get away with saying it, so it gives them a sort of exclusivity that only blacks have.

what if LORD GOD designed the infamous BLACK LEGIONS of HEAVEN to help in the WAR of GREAT GOD ALMIGHTY? Would they fight for God or did the italian Satan and his 1/3 legions of angels whose boss is a'bad'don fights God the Fat'her(r) with his 2/3 legions of angels?
OR are black people too whipped to JOIN the infamous Germanic Hun once called GOD?
when spain tried to describe LORD GOD they had no choice but to spell is in times new roman font as DIOS.
what they actually were describing was
IIII I . S where the S had a \ at the top end and hid the letters il
so IIII I . Si\ as the spanish God DIOS as IIII I . S
french said DIEU= IIII I E U where E=[iL like God had to be convinced of who He was.
italia's DIO as IIII I .
GOTT in times new roman font reads CuTnuTiT=GOTT
need the LORD continue? GOD=CUTOD
So the living promise of Gods visitation to earth through Me.
and true to human's evil nature you(they) hated God like the bible predicted. Why? Answer Me that and i won't hate you back so much
