I have a serious question... - GoFuckYourself.com

dropped9 · 03-25-2004, 04:05 PM

Why is it that a black man can call another black man a "nigga", but if I were to call the same black man a "nigga" I would most likely get into a fight.

Why is this?

No I am not a racist.

StuartD · 03-25-2004, 04:08 PM

You're allowed to clown on another of your own kind.

marcj · 03-25-2004, 04:12 PM

haha, funny topic.

I think it is how you use the term more than race.

you don't hear white people say "what's up cracker" to each other or asians say "what's up chink"

Paul Waters · 03-25-2004, 04:47 PM

When you are playing basketball, and you stuff over a black guy, and he calls you a 'fuckin' white ass' you are perfectly entittled to call him a 'nigga' when he stuffs it over you.

In fact, it is expected.

Does that help?

myjah · 03-25-2004, 04:48 PM

why is it that you want to use the word at all?

Headless,
You fag!

OK, now how did you feel when you read that?

Probably quite different than my best friend would feel if I were to say, "You fag!" over something he said or did (we're both gay) or if some guy yelled it in the street at a homosexual.

You're right, I don't. It's Cracka!

jasonir · 03-25-2004, 05:07 PM

White people had their privilege to call black people "******s" revoked when they started using it in a derogatory manor while they were enslaving the African Americans.

Thus, we no longer have the right to use the word, and it is effectively their word.

zentz · 03-25-2004, 05:57 PM

if they dont want me to call them nigga i wont call them nigga. i dont care what is the reason

chAos · 03-25-2004, 06:28 PM

well headless you being a good friend how do i put this oh so delicately ...

your are a big ass motherfucking redneck that loves to go fishing for bass... that would put you in the category say a KKK member to most "blacks" ... LOL

sorry bro you fucking ask a dumb question and i will give you the smart ass answer .. now go fuck your self and get my dinner from the lake bitch

Mr. Marks · 03-25-2004, 06:46 PM

Because they think that you're insulting them or something. They take offense in that right away, you should always address them properly.

SetTheWorldonFire · 03-25-2004, 06:47 PM

KRL · 03-25-2004, 06:52 PM

Jews do the same thing. So do Italians. And probably everyone else for that matter.

It's cool to call your own kind a deragatory name but not someone else not of your clan.

Nicky · 03-25-2004, 06:56 PM

I call some black people i know "nigga" and they call me white trash or something back, but its all done in a friendly manner, i guess that has alot to do with it it

I have some black friends that don't trip if I call em nigga, I am on good enough terms with them and have that respect from them that they don't trip... I usually do not call someone I just meet nigga though, thats disrespectful.. because they may feel its an offense.. but when they start callin me nigga, I'll start calling them nigga right back...

Sometimes you can even throw in the variation of ninja.. that makes em go huh????

I don't care if they call me cracker either.. after a while.. but we gotta be homies.. If someone calls me cracker I just met, I kinda trip.. lol...

kowntafit · 03-25-2004, 07:20 PM

If you're black and you call another black dude a nigga it can hardly be offending. But if your not black then it would most likely be interpreted as a negative remark.

I thought you were going to ask how do they get the filling in twinkies

foreverjason · 03-25-2004, 08:09 PM

because the word "nigga' is a derogitary word used as a label towards a specific race of people. If you are one of those people, you are trying to use it to symbolize that you are "brothers" however it just puts you down as well.

People are stupid live with it.

maxdaname · 03-25-2004, 08:45 PM

Well you're allowed to say it in Quebec, as long as you don't use it to "attack" or "harm" the guy.
But then again, some will kick the shit out of you for using it and take your Cd player...

Why is this?

No I am not a racist.

Never could understand it myself. Until a black friend told me that she didn't consider me racist so it was okay to use the word and went on about the different levels on being black. After that conversation, I choose not to use the "n" word.

marcu5 · 03-25-2004, 09:04 PM

:sigh:

im tired of seeing this question on messageboards so I'm going to answer it from my perspective.

nigga isnt exactly used the same way when spoken black to black.

Here's an example -

Me: Damn nigga, you for real?

Now here's an example of lets say a White Man using it -

White Person: Damn stop ******-lipping the joint
(i've actually heard this)

Not really creative right now but do you see what im getting at? When it's one of your own you already know it isnt meant to be offensive.

Also im sure a few white people on this board can say they have friends who dont mind them using the word nigga because THEY understand the difference.

dropped9 · 03-25-2004, 10:24 PM

How come we dont hear two white boys calling each other honkey?

reynold · 03-25-2004, 11:16 PM
