Why can only black people say the N word?

[QUOTE="whipassmt"]because of racists like al sharpton and the stupid NAACP. i don't care i'm white and i say it among my family. freedom of speech and if the blacks don't like it, then i just got to tell them to stop being so sensitive. if the blacks don't want us saying it then they should tell their crappy rappers not to say it.bradleybhoy

lol don't even have the balls to say it to a black person. Nice one big man. :lol:

Well, this is rather simple to me. You see, the N word was originally used by white people in the past as a racdist term to discriminate the black people. So, when a black people say the N word, it has to be in the context of humor because it clearly insults not just the race but himself, which is apparently not intentional since it is common sense that no one would insult him/herself.

But if you are of a different race, then this is going to sound weird because you do not relate to that race, so they cannot assume by common sense that you are kidding.

[QUOTE="CptJSparrow"]So that we have some erroneous obligation to babysit their whims over a fear of a word, given, of course, that us whites are all racists........CptJSparrow

How about you just try not to use the word... unless you feel some erroneous obligation to do so. :|

I think you're going off topic with gross generlisations...

I agree with your first sentence though.

To answer the thread's question is simple: because our society to worthless. If you say the 'N Word,' you're lible to get yourself killed, but call a white man something derogatory and it's okay. Call me a potatoe eating alcoholic (I'm Irish), and it's accepted. Call a Jew something derogatory, it's okay, and I'll have to say the holocaust pwns slavery. It's still funny to me that whites supposedly aren't allowed to say it, while blacks will be screaming it at eachother while they're shooting eachother. Good stuff.RiSkyBiZ-13

I think you might want to stop watching BET if you think all black people gangbang and call each other the "N" word. I like how one minute you said this "Call me a potatoe eating alcoholic (I'm Irish), and it's accepted " but then you contradict yourself with this "while blacks will be screaming it at each other while they're shooting each other. Good stuff ".

Those are what we call stereotypes and anyone who believes in that type of stuff are clueless.

Actually, I came by information from growing up in a city and seeing it my entire life..

Double standards, what else?

Well the real reason is simple, I'm sure you all know it inside whether you're gonna admit it or not but....Since the blacks were segregated in most of America's history, I guess we're kind of giving them the permission to use their racial words all they want, to kind of make it equal for all the extra things us white people have had in the past in America.... Well I don't conform to that mentality but it seems like other people think of it that way.

And I've known several white Irish people who were potato eating alcohoilics.

Doesn't mean that it's not still a ridiculous stereotype.

lol don't even have the balls to say it to a black person. Nice one big man. :lol:

Yeah, my thoughts exactly.

I wonder how many of these internet "tough guys" actuallyhave black friends.

It's a double standard and it is wrong. I have been called some racist terms by blacks and it is wrong. Of course if I had sunk down to their lever and used the "N" word on them then I would have been wrong. And this was while I was in the Navy where everyone is supposed to be equal.

So will we ever be equal, only if we really try. Just like calling a woman a **** They can call each other that, but don't let a man call them one.

i dont want to sound ignorant but why can only black people say that word? You dont really see white people walking around calling each other cracker casually. I dont mean to sound ignorant in any way, it just confuses me a bit.Film-Guy

yeah, the word she be abolished, all it does is retain the memory of segregation. no one should use that word period. i think this is true because i never hear foreign blacks say it, just african-americans. and for anyone who just said blacks say it amongst themselves to remove its racist context, come to my old high school in philly and (if you are white) try using that word, i guarantee you don't end the day with at leasta black eye. its a crude old hurtful racist word that should be forgotten by all of its history, because right now saying "n**ger to a black guy is a lot worse for some odd reason than saying "spic" to a hispanic. really, truthfully, only blacks can do that, because they're the only ones keeping it alive really, and its very immature to do so. (note, why is the n word censored but not other racist words identified with different races)

bottom line, any black person who says it completely legitimizes its use by everyone else. language is universal and if one person can say something, so can everyone else. the "outspoken black majority" has the worst double standards of any group of people i have ever seen.OneWingedAngeI

very true, and this is no racist comment man, its the truth, go turn on the damn radio. imus gets fired by sharpton yet fitty stays on air ranting the n word, both are equally wrong in my opinion

I do every day. Then again, Im just messing around and I dont mean offense by it, well, most of the time anyway.Shade-Blade

and thats wrong. its not a joke, because too many people still pretend to be offended by it. for real man, theres no one left alive who lived during slavery, so why is this word even questioned anymore....if we were a mature society, this thread would have gotten nearly no replies except for one two saying "huh? whats that from? you mean that stupid old word nobody cares about anymore?"

Yeah.

Like, one time I was walking down the street, and this black dude walks up to me, pulls out a knife and says "Gimme yo money, [that word]!"

Later on, I'm at a job interview and I'm talking with the owner of the business (who happens to be black). He asked me what qualifes me for the position and I say "well, [that word], I have been in the industry for 10 years, have lots of experience."

Then he's like, "excuse me, what did you call me?"

Then I said "I called you [that word]. That word is legitimized now, and it's okay for me to say it since you people say it."

Now, I have three questions.

1) Regardless of whether or not I once heard a black person saying that word, have I EVER heard the black business owner say it?

2) Do you think I got the job?

3) Do you even bother to think about what you're saying/typing? Because judging by what you just posted, it doesn't look like you do.

this sheds some light on the issue...g-unit248

are students punished for using the term nigg@ in the school as well then?

it doesnt matter. non blacks are the ones judged harshly if they say it. until they judge fellow blacks the same way, they have no right to judge me. also you are talking about the perception of one person in an isolated instance, while i am talking about the perception of cultures as a whole. what i mean is, until you hold everyone to the same standard, you have no right to complain against only the people who fall outside your little group.

thats what me and my mate was talking about,and my other mate which is black just kept shouting out N****** in front of us.

its similar to the slavery crybabies. you have people complaining about slavery... SLAVERY! its been done and over with for ages yet it is still cited by blacks who need something to demand sympathy for. sorry but no one walking around on the planet was a slave. and blacks owned slaves. and no one walking around on the earth owned a slave, therefore there is no relevance, so just drop it.OneWingedAngeI

a few people here and there have. not the overall community. when have you ever heard of a black guy getting his behind whooped for saying that word? never! it would never happen because it is "generally" accepted. when has a black radio host lost his job over it? when has a black sued another because of the word's use? never. never ever ever.

and just for the record, i think it's fine for people to say whatever the hell they want to. a word is a word and it only has as much power as observers lend it. at least in the US, the country is built on the supposed right to say whatever you want as long as it is not a threat (and i say supposed because every day that right is trampled on). i am merely pointing out the hypocrisy of the VOCAL outspoken majority of the community who are so self righteous yet so wrong.

perfectly ignorant? perfectly immune to good study? perfectly lacking in the socio-econimic impacts of slavery? perfectly devoid of the understanding of anything related to slavery beyond his cursory knowledge of the practice and trade, which is undoubtedly based on the wellspring of information he got during the one day in high school that they spent on slavery?

you guys are so funny I forgot to laugh.
