lol it's great being chinese.. i know exactly what word you're talking about, budahbro.. it's funny because chinese people seem to studder on that word a lot (nugguh nugguh nugguh... chow suh-muh... nugguh.. nugguh... dee-now) lol...

but hmm.. this topic has been mostly about 'nigga'. why not '******'? i really don't know what to think about these words. IMO, it wholly depends on where you live as... it seems... black people are 'differnet' around the world? While i don't have anything concrete about this.. one of my british teachers at our school did indeed say that black people from american vs. the ones in london are quite opposite; everything from morals, manner of speaking, etc. etc. He even went as far as saying that, in general, black people in america haev a lower work ethic compared to the british ones... hmmm...

and btw, i do use that word jokingly with my friends (i.e... "That nigga STOOPID... or.. Berey, take off yo hat, nigga)

funny video ni...

Seriously, ive given up sayin that word cause if u use it causually it will probably pop out of your mouth at the wrong moment.

A good friend of mine is a black dude who recently moved to the states from the UK, and it's definitely true from what I've seen.

i think anyone with a brittish accent (you know what im saying) seems more proper (you know what im saying)and well spoken, (you know what im saying)i know im going to ge a ton of haters for this one (you know what im saying)...but just look at lenox luis(you know what im saying)...and look at our american boxers (you know what im saying)...lenox still seems to be an educated man (you know what im saying)...while most of our american boxers (you know what im saying)seem to be neanderthals (you know what im saying.

by the way you know what im saying

LOL.. i'm sorry to say, Arbiter, but your friend might be verbally raped if he moves into the wrong part of town. btw... if you don't mind me asking, why did he move anyway?

And.. um.. Kirbtastic.. what the fuck are you talking about

It is sorta

If your not black, then saying the N word is considered racist. If your black, then saying the N word is ok. It is accepted

Black comedians can make fun of white people like saying stuff like "You see white folks are always listening to that classical shit. Blasting it on their mini vans while taking they kids to soccer practice". Then people would laugh

White comedians cannot say things like this on black people. IF they say the same ting the black comedian above is saying like "You see black folks are always listening to that rap shit. Blasting it in their Cadillacs while taking their kids to the projects".

YOu see the difference. Whites are limited blacks are not. Im not white and i think black people are just way too emotional on things. Im not being racist but you have to admit that blacks are taking advantage of the white people not only in comedies but in other things cause they know they have the reputation and whites have to go easy on it. It's not fair really but oh well.

I felt this for a long time man You cant say squat about black ppl in the UK.

In school we used to have "blackboards" and the teachers would write on them with chalk. That was considered raciats (wtf) So they were changed... what are they called now?..whiteboards and are wrote on with marker pens!

people go way to far with this whole politically correct thing. the world is made up of too many differnt types of people...no matter what u say someone is going to be offended...people need to learn to just deal...


Posted by cheesenip on Dec-30-2002 18:31:

it's cuz whites practically tortured black people during the slavery era. That's where the word came from also. You should blame whites for giving blacks all this "freedom", if you're complaining about white being more "limited".

not really, the word "niger" isn't really offensive from my point of view because all it means (literally) is "black".
For example have you heard of a country called Nigeria?

These words all come from the Latin root "negr/nigr" which means "black." Even in French "black" is "noir", which is similar.


Posted by Franz on Dec-30-2002 19:09:

there are no "bad" words. its just how people use em.

I'd laugh if it weren't sad.
Well, aren't whiteboards considered racist also towards white people?
Perhaps they should use blueboards, nobody has blue colored skin. Except the fishes maybe? No blueboards are mocking fishes, that isn't right either...
It's such an idiocy i haven't heard in a very long time. Are they going to forbid black cars now, or forbid the word black??? That political corectness is such unbelievable crap.

a-aplz.....stop using racial slurs

actually the defination of ****** is "a lazy and slothful person" so it does have a negative conotation


Posted by capricorn15 on Dec-31-2002 07:12:

if you call a black person nigga or ******, you are gonn aget fucked up
if you are just with your friends, go for it, shit i say it all the tiem, but around black people, i hold my tongue as not to get accidentally beaten down


Posted by ehcsztein on Dec-31-2002 18:25:

The way that i heard it best explained is that when good ole whitey uses the word (or derivitives of the word) it is demeaning...however when a black person uses it...it becomes empowering to that person by removing the oppressive power that the word once held...if i were to say it...it could serve as a reminder of past oppression/control etc...if a black person says it is a reminder of the struggle against that oppression / control as is more like "eff off whitey!"...i couldn't really disagree...


Posted by SlickT on Dec-31-2002 19:17:

Well...being black I fukkin hate the word...if someone called me that to my face in a serious manor I would take my bat to their head.
Sorry, if that was a bit violent,but I've had a cross burned in my yard so I'm really edgy about these things. My close friends toss nigga around once in awhile,but I know they mean no harm.
