Tupac v biggie smalls lots of use of the n word why do they call each other n...... but take great offence if any one else does
Good point. I guess they feel that they can say it to each other but if a white man says it then it's rascist which in itself is rascist as well?
This is what bugs me big style. If the n word itself is deemed as racist how come no one bats an eyelid when Snoop Dogg puts it in his songs?
I think it's more to do with the way word is used. If you are a white guy who is comfortable/friendly with a black person then most will not mind you using the word because of the obvious context that the word will be spoken. Not sure why any white person would want to call a black person a nigger if they don't know them, though. That would be strange. Lets be honest, if a white person is using the term it's generally in a racial manner. All about context.
everyone of those gangsta rap songs has the word in umpteen times, is it considered racist to type the word written by a black man in a song for sale to make said blackman rich. I find its just a few woke ****s, pretending to be shocked and stunned by a word that the ****s themselves keep,and add into their own dialect of accepted vocabulary, So if its ok for them to use it its ok for us to
There is a long tradition in minority groups of taking a word and "owning it" A lot of people in the gay community adopted the word "queer" in the 80s in a way to neutralise the effect of the idiots on the street calling them it Possible that black people have done the same after years of slavery and oppression and being referred to by that awful word
if it is hated so much as you say, why do they over use it in song, common sense tells us if it is hated get rid.
Black people don't mind the word nigger. They just don't like being called it in a degrading and racist way.
Its all about context, Roger. If I'm sitting with a few of my mates in a boozer and one of the lads calls me a daft cnut, none of us will bat an eyelid. I know that, you know that. If I'm sitting enjoying a pint with my mates and some bloke walks over to our table and we are strangers to each other and he calls me a daft cnut, chances are I'm jumping straight out of my seat to confront him. Same with black people and the word nigger.
Yet half my family are African and they never use that word in any context even as an insult, it is only used in America by blacks to belittle someone
Kaffa. I believe is the term used round that way, same as nigger, its an insult if coming from a white man or like saff says someone you're not friendly with... Im not sure africans call each other kaffa tho like the yanks do with the N word
So owning a word a few may call you, and using the same word to call fellow blacks is ok and somehow not racist, bearing in mind that the Spanish which there a millions in America, have the words Nigga and Negro in there language

kaffa is used by black Muslims to insult christian blacks, Spanish speakers use the N word to insult African Americans
