you ever notice that black people use "the n word" a lot more than white people?

Question

i'm just sayin......

Answer 1

I don't use this word either.

To set the record straight, the meaning behind the word is what's important (meaning how it is used and by whom), not the word itself. I do believe it's wrong to say this word, but I am fully aware of the difference in meaning when it's said by a racist non-black person and when it's said my some high school kid to another one of his friends.

This word should just be allowed to die out, but thanks to record execs and hip hop culture, I doubt this will happen anytime soon.

If you knew any non-teen black people you could speak to, you would hear the truth. Most black folks despise this word when it's being used by anyone. Who wants to be reminded of slave days and Jim Crow days (look this up on Wikipedia - I know many of you don't know what this is!)? Naturally, all of the rest of the world knows is what they see in the media - on MTV, BET, FUSE, in movies, etc.

Ignorance is bliss - and I mean this for anyone of any race who uses this word.

Answer 2

White people say "n!gger", and its pretty much always meant to be the racial slur that it is. Which is why not many of them say it (unless they are behind closed doors).
SOME black people say "N!gga". Slightly different. Basically they kinda turned it around and now use it as a term of endearment amongst the black community. Saying "thats my n!gga" means saying something like "thats my good friend".
I personally do not say the word, and I don't condone anyone else using it. But, there definitely is a difference.

Answer 3

yes, and have you ever noticed that when you tell a kid they are stupid all of their lives, they began to believe it themselves and start to act that way as well?
Well, it is just the same for a lot of black people. They have been called n*gger for so long by the white race that they began to get comfortable with calling themselves that. And that is the reason it is ok for a black person to say n*gga and it is not ok for a white person to say n*gger. i don't know if you have noticed the spellings for these words but they are spelled differently because they have different meanings. N*gga is a "friendly" term, N*gger is used to bring forth racism and hatred so if everyone stop saying those words for bad meanings then it could change the meaning of the word and anyone could say it without offense.
AND I AM NOT RACIST AT ALL, I JUST USE LOGIC!!!!!!

Answer 4

#a million: Rap song impacts youthful White human beings to apply the term N*****, so while they locate out that they are able to't use it, they get mad. #2: White human beings think of that there should not be any obstacles on what you may and might't say. What they fail to attain or renowned is this may well be a HATE term. #3: They get offended while they see Blacks use the term while they are not allowed to apply it. lower back! they fail to attain that the N be conscious is very offensive while used via White human beings as a results of fact White human beings used to apply it as a degrading weapon.

Answer 5

Yes. The reason is that black people have turned n*gger around to become a word used for racial identification and unity.

This is a classic example of how to turn something oppressive into something empowering. It makes total sense.

It is too bad that along the way this concept got derailed and the word is now used both ways by blacks, as a derogatory word, and as an affirmative word.

Answer 6

Did you ever notice that black and white people are more racist than any other race?

Answer 7

I think it is an inappropriate term for ANYONE to use. How can racism be totally eradicated when there are two sets of rules for everyone?

Answer 8

Are you serious!! NO, white people just say it after we leave the room, under their breath, or in their little meetings!!!! Get real

Answer 9

Thats allowed. Its like Borat poking fun at Jew's (i have nothing against Jews incidentally) since he is Jewish himself. Like The cast of Goodness Gracious Me (UK comedy) can make fun of Asian people since they are Asian themselves.

Answer 10

Yes, if they don't want others calling them that, they should have never used it themselves for each other. They should have just let it die out.
