true... but it still holds the same meaning.

i don't think it should be said by anyone. with the 'er' or the 'a' or the 'ah' or whatever other ending people come up with.


-- Posted by rawr41507 at 12:15 pm on Nov. 15, 2008

"Nigger" should be used however you wish - as there is freedom of speech.

Though, I DO believe you should use "Nigger" on a joking basis - such as if you ask your Black friend where he wants to eat and he says KFC - you can respond with "You're such a Nigger!" (jokingly)

But, you shouldn't use it if you're implying inferiority or hatred. Such as "You're a fucking poor Nigger, go back to Africa!"

Like everything else when the other person gave you the obvious permission I mean if you gave somebody  the permission to call= you a jackheaded dickwad then they can. Otherwise you got a right to be pissed at them.

If blacks give each other the permission to call  themselves names then they can. If they didn't give it you then you can't.

Nothing hard to get about that.

CRACKER!!!!


-- Posted by smartlake at 10:19 pm on Nov. 18, 2008

Well, if rappers use it liberally, so will I.


-- Posted by mama16advice at 9:36 am on Nov. 20, 2008

honestly its not ok. its a word with a surpressing history behind it. But in the world we live in now, anything goes but everything has rules behind it.


-- Posted by Chava at 9:38 am on Nov. 20, 2008

Always


-- Posted by NordishBrother at 2:00 pm on Nov. 20, 2008

Its never OK to say nigger, but its always OK to say cracker.
Hypocracy anyone?

The Hip-Hop Nation channel?  Did you honestly expect anything else?

In general, when a black person uses it, it can be taken as a more endearing term (unless if used offensively, when it would be taken as such).  Whites, however, cannot usually get away with using the term at all unless if they're very close with a black friend who might take it in the more endearing form (although this is rather uncommon).  There is a reason why you don't see people like Eminem use the word "nigger" in his songs.

The Hispanics say it more than the Blacks around here at least.

But they usually call rednecks crackers - I'm friends with the Blacks around here
