Nigga just somehow replaced homie. The white person saying it in general would be considered wrong by most people, but I've seen some people be ok with it because they know their intentions behind it.
If compose or Rev or Blay said the word to me I'd be cool with it because I know they don't have any bullshit meanings behind it. Alot of people use it not because they look at black people as niggers but because they know black people don't want them to say it, therefore by saying it to them it means they're brave or some shit. Theres alot of complexities surrounding the word. It not only depends on the person itself, but their intentions behind it. I don't say it, but I don't care if black people or white people who I know say it. And by "say it" I mean just calling someone the word. Not just saying it in general.

exactly.
but i don't say it because i'm not an ignorant dumbass who wants to make a big deal over the fact that them and their precious little suburban friends can't say one word in the fuckin dictionary... boo hoody hoo. get over it. there is a historical reason why it is a sensitive word, and i think us not being able to say one word in the dictionary is a little bit trite compared to the REASON why we can't say it. and please, don't say "well i wasn't the one that enslaved anybody" because the answer to that is NO SHIT, thats why its called
history. that is still the reason why tenderness surrounds that word in our society... or at least it should.
and this is not to even mention the absurdity of the fact that soooooo much discussion goes on over whether blacks should be able to say the "n word" when the majority of blacks live below the poverty line and are the victims of the oppression that has made their culture used to operating in the way it does, and NOBODY wants to talk about that. its such bullshit. seriously, think about what's important and what yall's little middle school mentality asses want to bitch and whine about.
