see thats the thing, it doesnt matter how outsiders refer to a community of disticntion, i tend to agree with you that the term 'Canadian' should suffice, but within the various communities, these distinctions are made as cultural ties and identifiyers...

You don't have to tell me that. I'm a Newfoundlander first...a Canadian second. biggrin:

lol.

americans think they have the right to turn everything and anything into something, or better they think they have the right to complain about everything.

i dont see why asking about the n-word would be a problem. it seems like a valid question about ones culture ... maybe assuming that all black folks use the word was a bit gay but wanting to know why its used in the first place doesnt seem like such a big deal to me.

it does seem like if you didnt want to be called something you yourself wouldnt call yourself or someone else that something.

its like nyck calling someone fatass then crying when someone calls him a fatass.

Awsome analogy about nyck. happy:

Im comfortable with my chunkiness thank you.

TGB and Chango are black I think. Gtsboys said he was black and poste dhis big nose pic but we still never believed him.

is it wrong to register on an African American forum with the username '[KKK]GrandWizard'?

its wrong that you think you're funny...

strange.... at my school at least 90% of all the black kids call eachother "n***a" like it is a normal word. Hell, even that 90% calls most white people the same thing. But God forbid any white person call them ni**a.
The following is a conversation between a student (black) and the teacher (white):

Student: Why wont choo let us play any black music?!
Teacher: Sorry, I wasnt aware that race had anything to do with the type of music we play.
Student: Well our other teacher lets us play black music.
Teacher: Well this class is is called "concert orchestra", not "play black music orchestra"/
Student: That is racist. You cant say black music.
Teacher: I just did. Go report me if you feel I have done something wrong.

See what i'm saying?

Oh well - case closed then. . .young blacks call each other nigga this nigga that and somehow its endemic of the entire culture.

Even if it were - that STILL doesnt mean they want some other person walking up to them spouting "Hey nigga" - a black saying it to another black has ZERO connotation. . .you have NO WAY of knowing what shit is going on in some dumb ass white kid from the suburb who thinks hes hot shit dropping NIGGA WHAT'S all over town. . .

The most relevant question is this - why do you feel the need to argue this AT ALL? What explanation beyond "SOME blacks dont mind OTHER blacks calling them nigga, but dont want others saying it" do you exactly need here?

Why are you so sensitive to the whole thing? Do i owe you anything? Did my ancestors own yours as slaves? Thats the way you're acting. Grow up asshat, it's only a word. Perhaps you could explain why "most" (of course i can't say all) black people i know use that word like it's nothing. Even my 40yr old black friend calls me that when we greet each other so it's not just a "youth" thing.

If you don't like me and/or think i'm racist, why don't you just come out and say it and stop beating around the bush? I'd have more respect for you if you did that instead of quoting me to death..

I'm going to have to go with Arkan on this one. Why is it Okay for a black man to call a white man nigg*r, but god forbit a white man says it. FFS im walking down the street with a friend, some black guy sitting on his stoop yells "Hey white bitch" (the friend was a female), now wtf is up with that. If i yelled back "nothing, nigga", i would probably get shot, unless i yelled back in russian.

Ok TGB, i can see this subject is overly sensitive for you. Perhaps in another 50 years we can sit down and talk about it. At least you don't think i'm a racist. I could live with being a fool......sometimes i can be.

btw, believe it or not, my knuckles really don't scrape the ground. eek:

He called her a "bitch" - since when is "bitch" a racially connotative term? Youd deserve to get your ass kicked if you responded with that.[/b][/quote:400f8]

Read it again asshat, he called her a "white bitch".

[quote:cb70c]Read it again asshat, he called her a "white bitch".[/quote:cb70c]

Then you grow a nutsack and call him a black bitch. . .

Not my fault you dont have a pair and your only weapon in that situation would be to call them a nigger -

I just took pictures of this thread and I are sending them to the FBI. I hope you guys are happy.

I don't see how you could possibly fight and say it's legit for a black person to call a white person a nigger but a white shouldn't.

TGB stupid:

What I was thinking until this thread was hijacked and steered into a flame war, but thanks for the contributions guys oOo: . I think Bukdez kinda got it, using it in a leisurely manner desensitises it's meaning. I do think the teacher was out of place, maybe because of his choice of words, or maybe because he's a teacher and teachers shouldn't talk in the same manner as students do to their peers. It's kinda hard, the levels of what we take offense to vary from person to person.

i gotta side with arkan and acideyez on this one. i have wondered this for a few years, how black people can say it anytime they want, but God forbid, the moment i say it in front of a black person i better run. stupid: stupid: stupid: stupid:

rolleyes:

The average white person like Acideyez/Himmler etc, will never understand because they can't seem to grasp the idea of MORE THAN ONE GLOBAL OPINION AMONG OTHER RACES. Not all black people agree on the use of the word. Just like not all white people like strawberry ice cream.

GOD FORBID THERE IS MORE THAN ONE SINGLE OPINION WITHIN THIS SINGLE RACIAL GROUP.

It's not quantum physics, shouldn't be hard to grasp the idea that based on it's history, it is a very tender word to be used...Some people have obviously decided to go full circle by using the word as a term of endearment as a means of lessening the effect of the word itself, whereas others haven't, and would rightly take offense.

Is it really that hard to understand?

im pretty sure all white people like strawberry ice cream.

Mint choc chip plzdie: mad:

RACIST!...

i have yet to meet a black person that never says nigga. they dont say nigger but they do say nigga.

Ok, i think we exhausted this subject. Time to move on i say.
