exactly, good luck trying to explain that to some of the backwards logic members on here though.
still haven't got a response as to why some (not all) black people feel the need to use that word as part of their everyday vocabulary so badly yet start crying when someone from another ethnicity uses it.
But because our culture is so accessible and relentlessly marketed, many people seem to think that anything is fair game when it comes to Black folk.
They soon come to their senses when the cross that line with the wrong _, though.
hermosa beach is straight trolling.. he knows damb well he aint gonna be kickin' the N word around all willy nilly...
get outta here w/ that nonsense.
other races don't tend to call each other, people outside of their race, random objects, and animals the slurs you're talking about.Originally Posted by Pepper
Another thing that really got me thinking: Why aren't whites or other cultures as avid about being able to use the word N-ga as opposed to pursuing the "right" to say other slurs?
so because im giving an alternative view on things im trolling? get outta here with that.
cuz its only offensive when it comes from other races. also, b/c its part of our culture.Originally Posted by Scientific Method
Why do black want to say it so bad though, if it's offensive and all?
And why does everything come back down to violence? Is that the only way kats can express themselves?
You wouldn't say that %#%! in my hood hommie. Get chin checked %*!+@
Last I checked, Jews, Mexicans, etc. aren't running around calling themselves derogatory names every other word.
I've said this for years...did you get this from me?Originally Posted by Tr1ll
Its like this, if you have a sister, female cousin or a female you're really close to, and she steps in front of the TV while the game is on you might have a reaction like, "OMG you stupid @@%@, move out of the way of the TV!" Now you know good and well if anyone else said that to her, some furniture is going to move.
Another example, some people have in family nickname. A dude my be called Pookie bear by his grandmother, but if anyone calls him that in the street, its a fight.
The N word is kinda like a in family nickname. You gotta be part of the famb to use it.

True. I remember being at a club one time years ago and a white girl was talking real loud next to me and my boys saying like "This n-g-er, did this, what is he going to do get his guns!!!"Originally Posted by ThunderChunk69
I never understood that either.Originally Posted by Scientific Method
And what is a black dude beating someone down over saying the N word going to do positive, for himself or the progress of the race? Probably end up incarcerated over it, struggle to get a job after that, end up on the streets, viscous cycle that follows. Oh yea, we won that one. Yay! Last thing we need is more violence

Why would someone check me over a word they use themselves. I don't need a "pass" to say a word.

To each their own my man. I lived in Harlem (pre gentrification) and Compton before I moved in my friends crib in hermosa beach which is the opposite of the other 2 areas I lived in. I've never gotten "checked" over stuff ive said or how I act. If anything I've gotten respect from people when it comes to my views on this situation because I don't sugarcoat it and act policitcally correct. It's the most common used line but the majority of the people I grew up around we're black and that word was commonly used as every day slang for better or worse. I used the word because its slang around my way. I never even knew about the other n word that has racist connotations til I was a teenager because no one I grew up with is racist. Bottom line with the word is if someone wants to try and check me over it they can but their not going to get the results they want. It's pointless to go back and forth about what I would do because this is just a message board and anyone can talk tough behind one but to keep it funky I got my view on the situation and it's not going to change nor do I see someone checking me about it either.
