Why cant non black people say the N word?

Question

Why cant heterosexuals say fag or queer (or the f word or q word?)

Would you call that favoritism/ discrimination/ bias

Answer 1

i hate it when people say "Why cant such and such say this".False.Everyone,Anywhere can say whatever they want.It just depends who you say it around.I'm sure your white friends wont be offended to the point of beating you to a pulp if you say the "n" word nor your black friends if you say "cracka".So you can say whatever you want.You can run down the streets shouting "****ger and Crac*ka, Wet*back, Fa*ggot,what ever other racist words you can think of.

Answer 2

This is a touchy subject. I guess this is the simplest way to put it. Would you call a black person a coon? No, because not only is it disrespectful and racist, but you would probably get your a## kicked. The N word is not a term of endearment. Black people have embraced it because WE have changed the meaning of the word. We're not using it in a negative way when we're talking to each other. But the minute it comes out of a non black person's mouth, it becomes something else, something ugly and just plain rude. It's not favoritism or discrimination, it just is what it is. Non Black People: Just Leave It Alone. This is a fight that shouldn't even need to be fought. It's about respect for a history that's already lacking in that department

Answer 3

There's a thing called freedom of speech...but discriminative speech is morally wrong. If you don't have anything nice to to say...keep your mouth shut...this goes for everyone!
