Why can blacks say the "N" word, but if anyone else does, the NAACP knocks your door down?

Question

If the black race can't respect themselves, then why should anyone else?

Answer 1

Exactly Earl! I am white/native american indian and I am so sick of the double standards that us whites have to endure! Every other race,..especially black,....can hold the race card! They can say what they want to whom they want and nothing is said. However the same doesn't apply to us! That is F@cked UP! But what ever you do don't mention how they don't score as well as whites on test,...don't mention how they can get jobs they aren't qualified for due to their color, .....don't mention how they have so many kids so they can get more government help,.....don't mention how they sell crack,....don't mention how they rob,carjack,rape,molest,........don't mention their rap crap music that insults whites,....don't mention their clothes that exposes their @ss! They really get mad about all of that! Believe me I will get many responses about this comment I always do! I usually laugh as I am reading and responding if I waste my time on their s@rry @ss at all. I will say that before I get 100000 emails,.....if you don't fit in the category I have listed please do not email me! LMAO! And if you do make sure you put in subject what you are best at,.....example: selling crack,...etc. I don't hate all blacks just the ones that are in the categories that are low lifes!
LMAO this has been fun venting! Sorry I hope I answered your question. :)

Edit: WOW this is the first time I have said something that hasn't been attacked! LMAO I guess because then they would have to put in subject of email what they do best LMAO :))

I have wondered the same thing. But you could rephrase the question to "If everyone else is expected to respect the African American race, why can't they learn to do the same?". It's a major double standard though. A black guy can walk up to his homies and say "What's up my *******?". A white guy does the same thing and 9 times out of 10 he's beaten to a bloody pulp. Or atleast frowned heavily on.

I think the reason for it is because if a white man calls a black man a ******, you can accuse him of being racist, if a black man does it, you can't say he's racist against his own race. Even if he is that currently isn't really frowned upon. Heck I wouldn't be surprise if someone asking a black man to refrain from using the "N" word was accused of being racist. It's just how messed up this society is.

Holy crap, they bleeped out the "N" word? Yeah that's bull crap if you ask me.

Answer 3

I think most blacks have used the word in a sense to try to make a positive from a negative. There was an effort to reclaim a word that for years was used to shame, degrade and cause pain. That has not worked, and please don't mistake the use by blacks to other blacks as disrespectful, because that is certainly not the case.
