the forbidden word

I just dont know why people disrespect our race and culture by using the word nigger. Its a very derogatory term and hope that people would stop using it. Some people also dont know much about the difference between nigger and nigga. Niggers are the ones with ropes over their necks hanging on a tree, while niggas are the ones with gold ropes around their necks hanging out at clubs. We a new generation of black people so stop using the word nigger especially if you have respect for humanity

 

if said word is forbidden, why did you use said word?

 

I only used it to derive my point, which you dont appear to understand. I didnt use that word to use it to criticize or discriminate, but only to describe the situation. Its two completely different usage in context.

 

What do we have to say then?
In belgium we say "negers" which looks like nigger, so when I play an online game and have to talk in english I will say nigger if I mean someone whos black.
I dont hate black people or anything. I hate Marrocans tho.(if thats how you call them (people from marroco?))

 

He's suggesting blacks stop calling other blacks by using that word.

 

Black people call their friends Niggers (or Nigga's whatever...) and they dont care. A word is a word. Let me just let you in on a little ryhme.

"Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me."

 

Please, before posting these type of topics, keep in mind:
The meaning of the word is to be understood in the given context of the word. Using the word nigger itself is not to be considered to be racist, but should you say something like: fucking niggers steal our cars, you said something racist.

 

Im not suggesting that black people should stop calling other black people niggas. Im kool with that. but the thing is white people or other race of people should not call blacks nigger

 

Why not?

If black people call each other niggers, why cant whites call them it.

 

ok if you actually read my first post, there is a big difference between "nigga" and "nigger". Also,"nigger" is not a light handed term that can be used as often as your visits to the restroom. Its a term that dehumanizes black people into animals since its linked to slavery. the word is filled with hatred and descrimination and reflects the times when plantation slave owners bought and sold other humans like cattles, had sex with the slaves (it could have been your mother, your aunt, your sister), and shot them like runaway dogs if they didnt work. If you are proud of being white, do not use it, because it reflects how you feel about people of other culture and it shows how you are being someone who is evil and hateful to the most purest state. Some kids say nigger to sound "cool" or feel "superior" in real life or online, but what they dont realize is, everytime they say it, it only makes them look even more ignorant, narrow-minded, and hateful.

 

Im sorry but your idiotic comment doesnt make me a racist fool. think again

 

sigh... Tyro, with your reputation here on sythe, I would have thought you'd be more.. lets put it.. keen. Im only discouraging the use of the word "nigger" and that goes for both whites and blacks. If a white person has love for blacks their culture, then I dont mind him saying "nigga", but not the world "nigger". Just read my previous posts more carefully.

What if I were to say 'nig'....

 

To most people, there is a difference between a nigger and an African American.

 

I really dont see why it would be ok for a black person to call another black person a nigger but at the same time it not be acceptable for a white person to say it.
The only understandable logic behind this would be that black people can say it because as they are black they are not racist again there own ethnicity. This is a stupid hypocritical statement as you could argue that if white people did not mean it in a discriminatory way then it would be acceptable language.

so maybe once black people start using the term then they can demand that other people do the same.

 

Seriously, whoever came up with that is an emotionless robot.....^

Racism is not acceptable on any level. Tyro brung up a good point, if it is so offensive to you C-note then why do you use the word so freely?

 

Yep, even the world African American is unacceptable to some people. They say they are not African so they take offense to the term, they prefer to be called black. Then there are people who prefer to be called African American over black. It all depends on the person you're talking to.

 

I really dont see why some people cant actually READ my first post and see how I emphasized the difference between "nigger" and "nigga".

my point is plain and simple, which is discouraging the use of the word "nigger" not "nigga"

and the same for you

stop ass kissing just because hes a mod

"they're just words".. mhm and words have a big impact if you didnt already know. people's lives are shaped by simple words. I also think you owe me an apology for being a over-generalizing, bigot by calling me a "racist fool" without reading my statements more carefully


*merged* Don't spam for post count.

 

First of all, there's a thing called multi-quote, so you don't have to make one post for each reply.

As Tyro said, don't get all mad over one syllable.
