^ Sweet rebuttal, ace 23. I can't believe how meagerly the black community has moved forward collectively in major arenas of healthy life yet still get so fired up over a word that has taken on a consciousness on its own.


I never use the n word unless I'm quoting a song or someone else.


I think, as with all things spoken that offend people...

CONTEXT needs to be taken in account.

u mad *****?

Personally, I don't give a f[COLOR="Black"]uck[/COLOR] who says it. It's all about context.

But to call SAS's stance uneducated and belligerent is a pretty uneducated stance in itself.

calling himself the victim and the white man in CURRENT society the villain is hilarious and uneducated

using historical examples from before he was born as a means of justifying his use of the word and why people who had nothing to do with slavery have no right to comment on the use of the word? uninformed

me and my super close friends say ***** to eachother all the time and he's white (i'm black). just how close we are. black kids nowadays don't care long as it's not with an er.

I don't care if white people say it as long as they not saying it in a disrespectful way or trying to mock/poke fun of black people.

I was at a halloween party in the complex I just moved in and it was mostly white people and maybe like 3 blacks including myself but the other black dudes where just token black guys that you could tell grew up around nothing but whites.

Anyway though everybody was drunk/high but me cause I had just got off. All of a sudden I hear this country chick call her white friend nikka and then it was like the music stopped and everybody got quiet and looked at me. I was laughing and was like I don't care about that word just don't say the "er" and we good.

Then later that night they played a bunch of rap music and was trying to freestyle and they where saying nikka like it was nothing but honestly I don't care.

It was funny watching them but like Chuck said just watch what nikka you say it around cause some aren't cool with it.

What?

[Go Getter]

Why the ?

If you don't know by know you'll most likely never know...

Cause I'm black and I don't care about the word?

I'm assuming you're black from your other thread.

Like I said though as long as they don't say er or mocking blacks I'm good.

I'm from Alabama so I've been in a lot racist situations and I've been in many fights as a kid because of the word.

At the end of the day it's just a word and it doesn't have any power over me.

Life is too short to get worked up over a word.
