i don't think anyone should say it, but i can understand how other blacks think they have the right to say it,
but why do hispanics think they can say it?

Answer 1

These days the "N" word is slang to some people. I don't think anyone should use that word.

Answer 2

Hey drtyfckr, you forgot pencil dick. We call you guys that too.

As to the original question, back when I grew up, everyone except whites could get away with using the word. It was more often not an insult. These days though, people have thinner skin, so you have to respect that and not use it. But in all honesty, black people do use more racist terms than anyone else I know, waiting for someone to use the N word in retaliation, so they can (hypocritically) call them a racist. But know what? It don't bother me.

Answer 3

wow i didnt even know that....i personally think that it is a very ignorant word for anybody to use....i dont even understand why blacks use it as a commonality (is that even a word??) when the word was created to put down blacks and to keep a border between blacks and whites with whites being superior to them.....so the N word i dont think should be used at all and for a generalization of hispanics using it.....for the hispanics that do i dont even see a reason why they would. if a white man used it negatively i could see that (as wrong as i think it is, i could see it) but to use it just because is wrong.....and i dont know why....

Answer 4

acctually nobody used Native Americans as slaves because Native Americans kinda knew the land way better then everyone else did.

and i dont think anyone should say it. people say the N word is for hate but then they say it all the time. if its a word of hate why did you just call your friend a N word

Answer 5

Anyone can say it or not say it. I wish people would get over this stupidity. The word is the same regardless of who says it. If you think differently then you are just fooling yourself and, guess what, you are also racist.

Here is my response to another "n word" related question....
(I expect the usual thumbs down.) .....


I don't see any problem with you asking this question, but I do agree with the person that said you should have said "SOME black people" rather than lumping all black people together. Not all black people feel the same about this issue. For that very reason, you're likely to get several different responses.

However, you're not the only one lumping an entire group of people together. Someone mentioned that most people who aren't black (who use the "n word") don't use it as a term of endearment. How could that person possibly know how many do or do not use the word in such a manner? Did this person forget about the several non-blacks who identify with hip hop culture and use the word in the same manner as many blacks do?

To answer the question posted...
Many people use the "n word" in an offensive manner, which was the first reason for the use of the word. But many black people have chosen to combat its original intended meaning, so to speak, by using the word for other purposes. It's often used as meaning friend, brother, confidant, companion, supporter, chum, etc...
I've also heard some black people use the term to refer to other black men, but in a non-offensive manner. In other words, "That n♥gga..." is often said rather than specifying "That black man...". And I've heard some use the term to refer to men regardless of race. I've also heard it used by some black people as a way of indicating that they believe a particular black person (or people) to be obnoxious. For example, a black person might say, "Why do n♥ggas have to ruin all the good clubs?" or "N♥ggas make us all look bad."
You can usually tell how it's being used if you familiarize yourself with African American culture. But, as I said, not all black people feel the same about this issue... There are several who do not condone the use of the word at all regardless of intension. And, please, don't take offense to my saying "African American culture". I am NOT saying that the "n word" is accepted as being a part of African American culture as a whole. (As I said, there are black people who do not condone the use of the "n word" at all.) But rather I am saying that the use of the "n word" is embraced by some people and subcultures within the African American community.

I'm just taking a "stab in the dark" here, but is the following question the one that you really wanted to ask?...."Why do some black people who use the "n word" complain when a non-black uses it in the SAME MANNER as they do?"
If this was your intended question, I think it's understandable that you would ask as such. If it's clear that a person isn't using the "n word" in a negative manner, no one who uses the word should be offended regardless of the color of the speaker's skin. If you do use the word and you are offended by someone else's non-negative use of it, you're just as guilty of making color/race an issue as anyone else who makes it an issue.

Anyone watch the show called "Girlfriends"? If you do, you might remember the episode in which Lynn's sister offended the ''girlfriends'' during a visit. (And, of course, if you watch the show, you know that Lynn is mulatto/bi-racial (black & white), the other "girlfriends" are black, and Lynn's sister is white.) Well, during her visit, she said "n♥ggas" while rapping along with a rap song that was playing on the radio. The "girlfriends" were angry at her about this, and they also didn't appreciate the fact that she was a "w♥gger". And yes, the word "w♥gger" was used to discribe her. In case anyone doesn't know, "w♥gger" is a term indicating that someone is a "white n♥gger". I have three questions: Why would anyone, regardless of race, be offended at the use of the "n word" while not being offended at the use of the word "w♥gger"? (After all, "igger" is "igger" regardless of the letter that preceds it.) Why would anyone, regardless of race, be offended at the use of the "n word" by someone who is rapping along with a rap that includes the "n word" while not being offended at the rapper's use of it? And why would anyone be offended simply because a person has embraced another culture or parts of another culture? I know that "Girlfriends" is just a television show. But situations, such as what occured during the episode I've discribed in this post, do occur in "real life". And it's such a shame. No person (or group of people) own (owns) any particular culture or any aspect of a particular culture (such as foods, vocabulary, fashion, etc...). Individuality would be nonexistent if such were the case.

Personally I don't like the "n word" regardless of what variation of the word is being used and regardless of the speaker's intended meaning. But, honestly, I can't claim that I never say it. During my childhood and "teen" years, most of my friends, neighbors, and boyfriends were black. Naturally I was influenced by my environment and the people I came in contact with on a daily basis, so my vocabulary became a mirror of what I heard. I heard variations of the "n word" used all the time, so I employed these variations in my speech. What may come as a shock to those of you who stereotype people is the fact that I can't remember one single instance in which a black person expressed to me that I offended him/her by using that word. I did experience prejudice regarding other matters, but not concerning the "n word".

Anyway, due to having used the "n word" for so long, I often let it "slip out" (never with a negative intension). When I do this, I'm usually using it to "replace" another word (such as "man", "friend", "silly person", etc...). But, as I said, I don't like the "n word". However, while I don't like it, I am not offended at others' use of it. I realize that everyone has the right to say whatever they want to say, so it doesn't bother me.

Answer 6

hey ur the guy who said that girls were all over u well i think ur wrong or lying maybe ur gay well any way,

i dont know there trying to act black or fit in

Answer 7

Hispanics are also a minority in this country so that makes them more able to say it than a white person. There exist a racial hierarchy in our world, the closer the race to the bottom, the more able they are to insult the one below them/above them.

Answer 8

well, I'm white and i think it's ok to say it...I mean, we made the word up, didn't we?? kinda like you guys invented "honky" referring to the white johns picking up black prostitutes by honking their horns because they were afraid to get out of their car. or like you guys inventing "cracker" referring to the white man cracking the whip (no, it has nothing to do with saltines like most people think these days) but yeah, it doesn't offend me when people use those terms. i understand I haven't suffered 200 years of prosecution and mistreatment, but then again...neither have you.

Answer 9
