i agree. black people, this is why you are treated differently, you act black, so your treated black.

no, it makes you AWARE that blacks and whites are different people  in that they have been treated differently by society for the last 500 years and continue to be treated separately today. There's nothing sudden about it, only the fact that you have to check the comfort you get to feel every day being part of the majority and feeling that pretty much every space is your space to be safe.

black people and white people are exactly the same. the only thing different about us is the amount of melanin in our skin. and this mysterious "extra leg muscle".

Nigger is a derogatory word for everyone to use, even blacks.

Nigga is a "my brotha" sort of thing among blacks.

Because of the history behind it.

IMO, yes.

Depends on the white person sometimes...I've noticed...and the manner and context within which it is said.

Mostly it is taken as an insult.

Everyone segregates themselves...not on purpose, but because different backgrounds make us more comfortable around certain people.

kindly go educate yourself about some U.S. history and its implications that we all live in today. Try some critical race theory. Race is a social construct, but that doesn't mean it has no practical, oppressive, integral role in "our" society that everyone is implicated in.
