Question for people who like to talk about the word "Nigger"

IP:

Black fellow says to a white fellow: "You're my nigger."

If the white fellow responds: "Word, you're my nigger."

Is that racist or is the black fellow at fault for using the word?

I saw this happen in real life, the white fellow played it cool and only said: "Word." though.

Meh. No such things as bad words...only bad intentions.

It was weird for me, I came from a town of like 17, 000 and honestly, there was no black folk in our town, none in high school or anything and people used the word all the time in a non racist way at all, I mean there was no black people. Then a black person came to our school and started fighting people over it, it was gay.

What I don't get is why it's cool for spanish people to use the word, like puerto ricans and shit, but mexicans can't really, and neither can chinese, arabs, indians etcc

Why did the Latinos get the "privelage" to say it loll

shit is dumb man, it's a pretty stupid word

Rule is, you can only call someone nigga. If you are someone's nigga. You can't go up to a random black guy and toss the N word around..You guys shoulda prolly showed some discression when that black dude came to down an let him lighten up to you before he got introduced to you racist fuckers..even though u guys weren't sayin it to be racist lol. prolly came off that way..

so you were a bunch of white kids running around calling each other "nigga," and when a "black person" comes to town and whoops your asses THAT is gay?



*hopes this happened in the 4th grade and yall weren't really that annoying in high school*

It's cool for spanish people to use the word because they're treated in a similar way in America. Asian people saying it makes alot of people uncomfortable. And as for a black person calling his white friend my nigga, most people who get caught in those situations already get it. The black dude uses it in the same way hed call his black friends that. 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.
