i have, i've said it to friends in a joking way, and i've said to to black people trying to really offend them.  
 apparently if i wasn't a girl i would of been dead before i even finished the word.  
   

 i don't see why people have to be so offended with it.  
 it's like calling a girl a slut, some get offended and some laugh  
 black people need to learn to laugh at it


Oh I have no problem with it lol. I say it too.
It depends on how it's used in context with me.

But yeah, slut and nigger don't compare to each other.


i know they don't compare to each other, i'm using slut as an example of how some people can get offended by a word and some can laugh it off

i hate it when people who aren't black get offended by it too.
it makes no sense.

I have black friends that have insisted on it.

  Let's face it, it's just a word, and when we put it in this scary context as we've done with it, we make people see a "difference" between black and white that shouldn't even be there to begin with. When we can use the word freely, it loses its vulgarity... And any way of removing this vulgarity is a good thing as far as I'm concerned.


it is just a word  

 but one thing iw ish would stop is allt he topics in here from people asking "Why can black people use it but I cant?  

 
 >_<


Yeah, discussing the intricacies of the word just build it up more and more as a taboo.


in hawaii

errybody uses it

esp these samoan dudes

but then again they pretty much black as well lmao

I sparingly use nigga cause' I know the meaning behind it.

And I don't use it derogatively and always make sure to have a firm understanding of who I'm using it towards and how they will take it. Tact is ever important. I say a lot of other shit too.

Nigga please.

     

    That scowl means:      
    "Hell, I like you, you can come over to my house and fuck my sister."


   Lol. Congrats on being an idiot.


   

  Being bitter about something that doesn't matter is fairly idiotic.


  Just goes to show how ignorant a person can be.. lol
  And for the record I wasn't being bitter. I'm perfectly comfortable with the word, but saying "Nigga please" in an attempt to be humorous and funny is pretty damn stupid, idiot.


 

 I'm perfectly comfortable with the word, hence why I used it in humorous manner. Joking about things takes off the edge that makes things offensive.
 Dark Humour, look it up. Srsly.  
 Grow up in a cynical society and try and tell people not to joke about the issues within it.


I guess you didn't understand me. I say it all the time. My friends say it all the time to me. I don't have a problem with it. It's all jokes. But in this instance, you saying "Nigga Please" and following with that "...fuck my sister" comment makes you look like a real asshole.


It was an amazing instance to use it. You obviously haven't seen Full Metal Jacket, or you'd understand.

 wow ignorant much?


People are too easily offended by things that don't matter.



no, people are stupid to assume everything should be taken lightly, actually.  when you actually look at what people are saying, it does have some weight to it and obviously shows how that person thinks.
