Now, she mistakingly said, "Nigga please!" in front of my mother. Whew! I thought it was going to be WW3. My mother took it in stride and talked to me about it later. Now, is it racist to say that??? I personally don't think it's racist b/c we as black people say it to each other all the time...... "Wazzup Nigga!"......"Show me some love Nigga!"......"Nigga please!"....."I'm going to whip that Niggas ass if he doesn't pay me my motherfucking $25!", etc! So, why is it so wrong when someone white says "nigga"???? I know one of the arguments will be "we're saying nigga and they're saying ******". So, for those of you who might come back with that argument, if "they" said "nigga", would it make it alright??? Hmmmm...just food for thought!

here's the deal... many people may not agree... but a large portion of the back people use the term "******" among themselfs in this day in time... I would say that 10 years ago.. the word "******" would have been a racist term for sure... but now the meaning is deluted..
Now being white, I'm not going to go up to a black guy and call him a "******" now that would be racist.. but if it's a back guy I hang with then it would be ok to say "hey what's up my nigga"
But you can't take a word and allow one group of people to use it, and it's ok.. but if another group of people use the same word..then say it racist...
What you can say is racist is how the word is used...
