do you think white people can say the word "n'' word like blacks do?

Question

i went to a school that was racially diverse and my friends (mostly blacks and hispanics) would call me n*gga. they would say it in a friendly way, more like saying hey girl... when my white friend said " whats up my n*gga!", everyone looked at him in disbelief. i guess my friends didn't feel comfortable that he said it.

if you see in the media and else where, white people usually dont say the "n" word openly.

even the rapper eminem dont say the "n" word but 50 cent says it all the time...

so do you think white people can say the n word just like blacks use it with each other?

Answer 1

And when two white friends are jokingly calling each other cracker,honky,hick and god know what else its OK??
Just as long as no one else uses it.
Pa-lease coming from a bunch of people who claim the N-word is as equally effective as those ..I laugh my butt off.
getting back,
It's a slang term somehow 'reversed' to sound cool and friendish amongst a handful of black folk.
No one should say it but at the same time There is alitle thing called freedom of speech.
If your white and you want to say it by all means use it in any form or fashion.Don't expect pity if it backfires.

Answer 2

Can? They DO say the word like Blacks do. One of the other posters mentioned Blacks fake being so offended, but Whites do the same exact thing. They claim they "can't" use the "N" word when in fact they DO all the time. So what is this so called issue really about? It's about Whites wanting to refer to Blacks as n!ggers so badly. It's about non-Blacks who ASSume most or all Blacks use the "N" word. It's about Blacks and non-Blacks who deny the real reasons why Blacks use the "N" word in the first place.

Ignorance is bliss for some people.

Answer 3

No. Will never happen because black people can fake being so offended to claim a position of power. Not that some aren't really offended, but if it was soooooo bad then all the black rappers and actors wouldn't use ***** constantly. So someone is BS-ing.

Answer 4

Yeah, I think they can if they use it in the same way black people use it. I know white people who hang out with only blacks and they use the word all the time with no problem.

Answer 5

Are you new? Do you not see this is asked daily? Do you feel this is hurting people and you are happy by asking this? Does it make you feel like more of a man? If you want to be a racist and ignorant that is your choice but all I can say is you look very backwards to the rest of the world and anxious for any kind of attention even if it is attention that makes you look uncultured. Sad.

Answer 6

I think that "blacks" must be the first ones to show with their own example that such a derogative racist word should not be use by anyone. It's NOT funny, it's plain hurtful!!

Answer 7

in a word - NO. I personally dont think anyone should use it-Its from the days of slavery used to undermine and disrespect black people - why would anyone want to use it?

Answer 8

They can and should be able to say whatever they want just like black people.

Answer 9

Why is this asked over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again? Give me a break. So much hate and bigotry on this its sad and I bet you all classify yourself as christians..very pathetic

Answer 10

they can physically do it, yes, but they shouldn't....nor should black people either, but they can and do as well.
