[QUOTE="Silverbond"][QUOTE="KHAndAnime"] Because nobody likes a word nazi. If I want to use a word, I'll use it. HlHlHl

1. I never said anything about violence.

2. No one is ever able to truly say what they want, when they want, how they want. That's just life and you should deal with it or face the consequences.

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"][QUOTE="HlHlHl"] Yes but words evolve like I have been saying.HlHlHl

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"]I don't think anyone should user it ever. That includes hip hop artists.rockinplanes

[QUOTE="HlHlHl"][QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"] The original meaning was not gender neutral. However, why does one need to use insulting terms when dealing with people. If I don't like you....you'll know it without my use of derogatory insulting terms. Note:you as a general word and not directed at you specifically.LJS9502_basic

Tempted to agree but their similarity ends when you consider society's reaction to both words. You can get away with "b" on prime time.HlHlHl

I can agree with that, but like anything else, words become way more casual and accepted the more they're said. It's like calling somebody gay or retard it doesn't mean they're homosexual or mentally handicapped, they've just evolved into casual words. It's not right to use them like that, but I can't defend the N word like I can the other two because the gays and the handicapped didn't go around saying "Yo retard or "Sup gay to each other every day.

Actually, the B word is gender neutral. It just means different things when directed at each gender.-Big_Red-

I think it means different things more based on who it's being said to from whom, and in what context.

I say "sup b****" at my female friends (I could say it to guys too, in a certain tone, but I don't have many guy friends to say it to anymore), and "b**** please" at both genders and neither are offensive or degrading. It's not gender neutral, because if it was it wouldn't be offensive to males when they get told they're acting like one.

I love it how when people throw a hissy fit when others call them that but they use the word themselves.

Gotta love hypocrites.

I am sorry

It's okay to use when you use the suffix "ah", but bad if you use "er" :P-RocBoys9489-

It shouldn't be used either way. If the n word is so offensive, it should never be used, by anyone, but most people ignore the fact that it could be anyone from any race no matter the skin color.

As far as the b word, I have to laugh when women all call themselves female dogs. Totally stupid if ya ask me and as demeaning as calling a woman a slut or whore or ho.

We do swear at others but we dont like being called names, because we think we are right when we deem they deserve it but that they are wrong when they think we deserve it.

No, the issue is that the n word is used by those who get the term shot at them like bullets. I've seen it all the time, like "Wut up *****?"

I think its more about (false or not, justified or not) assumptions from their part. They probably assume that among them people wouldnt mean the word negatively, but they probably assume that someone who isnt black would use it in a derogatory fashion towards them.

Unless you mean what Desulated already told me after that post of mine.

I think we should ban words in general. They're just hurtful.

Elaborate then.

Most people forgot what it really means, they thought it's just a replacement word for "brother".

And also, "Never Ignorant Getting Goals Accomplished"

I think it's just a word. I don't understand why people get so hurt over a word who's sole intention is to do exactly that.

All the black people I know say they don't even care about the word. Hell, in my experience white people are more offended by the word than black people are. :P But that's society for you, everything has to be offensive.

That word is so last decade.

[QUOTE="-Big_Red-"]What do you mean no-one should be using the word?Capitan_Kid

I don't know man. I have some black friends and I call them that every once in a while and they just take it as a joke. I'm not a white dude, I'm hispanic. Does that make a difference?

I say n**** like 10 times a day.

I just enjoy the way it rolls off the tongue.

I could brush my teeth with it.

I don't ever say it in a "I hate blacks" kinda way.

i use the N word like theres no tomorrow :P

We've become desensitized to the word, plain and simple. Its used in such a way that its become "cool" to use.

[QUOTE="Oborozukiyo"]It's a fun word to say. :)ace-of-spades93

At this point, I've literally just stopped carrying. I never did like the term reverse racism.

A cure.

So...Only black people can call other people noobs?

The f*** is that about?

It's just a word....

There are two types of the "n" word that you need to be aware about though.

If it ends in "a" it's somewhat okay but if it ends in "er" it's a racial slur.
