lol, either way, I wouldn't pay for it.

I think this is the most post any of my topics have gotten, although it’s only the second. What’s better is that it’s gotten 26+ posts despite me only posting it a bit ago.

Hell yeah my Nigga, I can see why a topic over the word Nigga would have a lot of Niggas posting in yo nigga ass thread.

Anyways my Nigga, how are you on this Nigga fine ass day? I'm fine a fine ass Nigga on this day my Nigga

Just fucking say nigger. Look, it's that fucking easy instead of tiptoeing around like a anal-clenching faggot.
Besides, it's not like anyone would really give a shit when the US finally collapses and the rest of the world follows suit.

If can't say the n word then African-Americans can't call me a redneck or cracker because thats racist

Yeah, but it would make the rap industry get destroyed, so I wouldn’t hate that. Rap these days is nothing but trash and making it more expensive by a million times wouldn’t be a bad thing.

nigger

Yep

Welcome to the world of double standards. It's OK to say "Redneck" or "Cracker" (Which, IIRC, actually referred to a black person holding the whip), but it should be a federal crime to say Nigga

I can call you a redneck then because I'm not African-American.

The N Word should only be offensive to African Americans with a family history of slavery in America, because that only makes historical sense. As for banning it, no, it’s just a word, I don’t think people should say it, but turn on a random rap song and count how many times it’s said.

I agree with what you said. However I still question while black people still use the word with and directed towards one another.

I mean I can tell this isn't going to go anywhere, but these are very different things owing to the different historico-cultural contexts behind those terms.

Or just, you know, not restrict freedom of speech

If you're a minority with your friends or in a joking matter it's fine, if not no.

Aye, quashees have the good fortune to be hired for life. (Unlike my domestic servants.) Any caught running away to the hills should be brought back to the plantations where there is plenty of work for them to do.

NSG is OOC

Banned? Definitely not, especially since you'd be criminalising African-Americans who use the term with the intention of reclaiming its meaning and effect, which even if you disagree with that activist strategy seems hugely counter-productive and reactionary.

I do think its a stupid word, although the social and emotional harm I imagine of using the word will be less in countries where the N-word doesn't have the history of being associated with the institution of slavery. I think its a genuine open debate whether the n word is socially harmful when used comically or jocularly in non-Western countries without a history of enslavement of black people (such as Asian countries) and not used in reference to an actual black person in such countries. But definitely in countries where the N word has a racist history its certainly not socially appropriate to say it (though I still don't think it should be banned or criminalised for sure).

Get down Mrs. Obama!
But really as a trans woman who uses fag, tranny and Queer a lot I personally find it better to own your slurs than to vainly try to stop them from ever being used

Ni....

Does anybody know where the term redneck comes from?

It’s been debated a bunch but most common theory I hear is red hankercheifs southerners wore around their necks while working

*Non-American countries

While the N word is still considered bad in Europe, it isn’t as offensive as it is considered to be in the US, the K word is much worse in Europe and Southern Africa

Huh, I thought it was how white Southerners necks got red from sunburn and hard labour (At least according to Wikipedia)

Slow clap for all the very witty comedians who actually used the n-word in this thread. You are the true exemplars of Western civilization and white culture.
