but thats only becoz someone gave the word "nigger" a meaning. before this was a bad word to say, everyone could say it. but its always becoz someone gives it a meaning, than nobody must say it and that just keeps go on and on with more words.

I don't understand why black people call other black people niggers... I mean first of all, you're both black and second of all, WTF are you saying? That your a higher class "Nigger" and he's not. FFS just call him a bitch or fucker but why you have to bring the Race factor into it. No offence to black people but I don't see white people callin' other white people offensive racist names. And WTF is with the word "NIGGER" it means a black person. It derived from the word "NEGRO" so I don't understand why people are so radical about the word.

You Know I Went Through Tha 1st Page of This And i Think Yall Should Put that Shit As Nigga Instead Of Da -er. Nobody Widely Uses That Expression Anymore. Its Just Nigga.
And This Shit Is Crazy How Yall Talkin Bout Why Are Black Peopl Called Black And Why Are White people Called White...?
NIgga Slaves Was Black As Fuck Back Then...Maybe Thats Why TheyCalled Em Black...
And i Guess Tha Caucasians Was More Toward The Brighter Side, So They Were Call White....
Just How Indians Are Called Redskins. Sure Their Skin Looks Red, But Its An Off-Red Color.
All Tha Colors Are Off...
Do yall Get Me?

The reason people have become sensitive to this word is due to something very simple. Its called assosiation. I will put it to you like this if you walk up and turn on a light on the porch every time your about to feed your dog, after awhile turning on that light will make your dog think its about to get fed. This is the simplest form of assosiation. It is generaly used to train animals or young children at school and so forth, its the reason you would spank your kid if he/she did something that you didn't want them to. Now with this word its been said to make a certain group of poeple feel like they are less than other groups of people, and its been done for such a long time that it has WORKED. Now what I think should be done is this, Everyone should become smarter than a method used to train animals and underdeveloped minds.

People are hungry for racisim. It's unfortunate when a joke that is not intended to be racist is made out more then it to be is. Some people say things, that just get misconstrued. I feel though the more emphasis that you put on a word the worst it becomes. The more you leave it alone, the faster it goes away. For example the word "Honkey" whens the last time you heard that.

No racism intended.
But i think black people are holding on to the past too much...like this gay shit i hear all the time
Example: I ask someone if they wanna go get KFC, and what's their response
"Is it because im black!?"
That's the most ignorant shit i heard
When i tell some white kid he's shit at basketball, i've never gotten the respone
"Is it because im white?!"
Yes, theres a stereotype about black people liking fried chicken, but you dont need to reiterate that for me. Theres also a stereotype that white people are less skilled when it comes to basketball, theirs even a movie about it [white man can't jump], yet i never heard a white kid moan about this gay stereotype.
I'm not sayin that protains to ALL black people, but a lot...you wanna be treated equal, but you dont treat yourself equal.

. For example the word "Honkey" whens the last time you heard that. when i told my mom to make me a sandwich but seriously black people don't find the world nigga offensive it means friend or homie but its the word nigger that offends them because in that form its mostly used as a form of degradation or racism such as hes less of a man cause hes a nigger its like saying beaner,which some mexican call themselves, its a derogatory form of black person but personnally if i know its a joke i dont care if someone calls me a nigger until its used to much or pushed to far but when its used as disrespect thats when most black people get angry
