"The N Word"

[Mkuki]

Who says non-blacks can't say nigger?

Morals...so stop.

Morals? What morals say that?

[German-Spanish Empire]

Morals...so stop.

Morals? What morals say that?

Hmm,maybe common fucking sense now stop.

Common sense is neither common nor sense.

[Mushet]

Is this word so imporant to you that you can't properly express yourself without using it?

I dislike the word but I find it unfair that non-blacks can't say (considered racist) it but some blacks (usually the more ignorant ones) glorify the word.

And I think it's stupid that with all of the inequality in the world how many white people like to fixate on this mundane thing and cry out about oppression, with all the unearned advantages garnered by somebody for just being born white you choose to complain about this.

I'm unclear as to what is supposed to be stopping.

[Pagan Hungary]

I think it's only offensive if you let it be.

Being part Hungarian and Italian, there are racist insults for both of those nationalities but they're really ridiculous.

Maybe it's because there is more history of prejudice towards Negros than some others.

[Des-Bal]

I think it has the potential to be incredibly offensive depending on the context. I confess to having behaved less than maturely and having physically assaulted a man for his use of it.

Well the stop was unnecessary but he said nigger...well....it's a long story,it's just the word pisses me off,I think my time is more than up at this thread.

Common sense isn't morality.

Well, it might be a slight overeaction to physically assault him, but in some way (that I don't approve off) you made noticeable that the N-word offended you. Calling out is the best solution.

[The Serbian Empire]

What L word? Leotard?

Google it.

Lesbian? Well that was what I expected to see.

I don't attempt to justify it I punched an old man in the face and kicked him when he tried to stand I am an asshole and I make no claims otherwise but I took offense and I made myself heard.

I'm not black, not white either but yeah I'm not black and I've been saying it through this thread in what I think was an appropriate manner, not using it as a slur not using it too casually like white people think they can just appropriate it for their everyday speech. I just used the word matter of factly to refer to the term in question and people's use of it. I think context is important.

Non-blacks can say it.

Just prepare for being called a racist if one isn't black and says the N word.

[Pacifornia]

I only say the "N" when I sing along to rap songs or when I talk to my close friends (I have a handful of black friends but tons of white, asian, hispanic and middle-eastern friends) when I'm drunk. I would never use it in contempt to anyone. But I should stop saying it

[Phocidaea]

This. And even then it's only in private or with close friends (what weirdo sings rap songs in public anyway?)

You know, in high school, when we read novels that used the word out loud, the white kids would look around the room at those of us who were black as though they needed our permission. I find it insulting when a white person assumes I'll shout "racist!" if they say the word even when I know the context doesn't have any intent to insult anyone. It's more insulting than saying the word itself.

I see this a lot in my commute to and from work

Well it's a mixed bag because I will fight you if you say the word and aren't black.

Haha I was listen to Childish Gambino (who uses it freely) and I say "nuh-nuh" awkwardly.

[Fascist Russian Empire]

Who the hell cares if someone uses it? It's a word and people need to get over it. Saying an offensive word won't somehow turn the world into a genocidal, racist hellhole.

Non-blacks doesn't mean just white. Latinos (in my area, at least) will say it very freely as well. Though, this refers to the "-a" version, not the "-er" version, if we're making a distinction.

But it will offend people. The thing about offending people is that they tend to be offended afterwards.

That's why civilized society has something called 'Freedom of Speech'. People have a right to believe what they wish and voice their opinions.
