Thats pretty funny and Ima mail you later tonight, it's fucked up the way things are and we do have all the good slang and which one did you give up? And I really cant think of an instance all the other people just dont acknowledge it or dont wanna , shits is so complex, but really I 've been in a couple situations that have made me leary about the topic.

can't we make a rule
that non-black people saying
the phrase: nigga please, is ok ?i mean, you gotta give us
something. you guys are hogging all the good slang.damn man, give 1 up already.
by the way ....
are there any other examples
in the english language
like the one we're dealing with here.
where a word is only to be used
by a person of a certain color,
and not be uttered, or written if you happen to be born a different color ?

To tell you the truth that Sagmiester post was the best thing Anders ever posted and from what I read it proves Demo's point more than his own.

Fuck all that accepted in pop culture mess, show me where in in a song, television show etc. a white dude uses the word nigga...I didnt say that the people using the term are racist, white people using the term is. It wasnt made for them, now the word it was derived from was made by them and used negatively, black people and other minorities in general have taken the term meant for the destructive purposes and made words like "nigga" terms of endearment. Let the thread die please.

In many groups today, "nigga" is used regardless of colour or background.
That's how it is, and I think it's wrong calling everyone a racist just because they accept this.
I would never call anyone a "nigga", though, but that's just because I don't feel comfortable with it. I do not, however, feel uncomfortable when a friend calls a friend nigga, whether it be a coloured to a white, or a white to a coloured...
But I understand how some people can get offended, because the words origin has such a strong and terrible history.
Did all this make sense at all?

the word : ''n*gger''
is a word i never use, nor even type as you can see.nor would i use the word ''nigga''
in any other usage except in that
of a ''cultural soundbyte''It's not the first time that you used the N word and I don't care in what context you use the word.
In public it has no place coming from a white dude.Quoting ODB is not racist?
A white dude saying nigga please is a racial slur, context wise or otherwise it's not appropriate.
schjetne he is your friend so ask him

I had decided not to post anything more here, since I'm actually a bit in the middle on this subject. I can understand where both parts are coming from.
But seriously, did you guys think that remark from Transfatty was meant to be racist?
- schjetne0
The other day a (black) friend of mine told me "You the nigga". So if I'm not totally mistaken, black people can call white people nigga, but white people can not call white people nigga?
And I don't think Transfatty was actually YELLING nigga earlier...
