I just don't understand why that's (supposedly) such a big deal. As a non-American, I don't understand how the "n-word" is so traumatizing. Yes, I know a great deal about the history of the United States. Even so, I don't see it more harmful than words like *aggot. Saying "nigger" I see as the derogatory term. To me, "nigga" is like saying bro or dude. I use that all the time, because I get called that all the time by friends (by black friends/co-workers) . But yea, there's the stupid double standard. Where some people take it too personal. Which pisses me off. Like if you don't want non-blacks saying it, then DON'T use it yourself. One of the biggest hypocrisies out there...

I don't see how nigger is any different to saying nigga, as 79% of niggas can't even spell the word nigger anyway.
I just made that up.
Love, love will tear us apart again.

^Agreed, BOTH words shouldn't be used. Like stop using it, if they're offended by it. It's like a gay person calling you a faggot. Then get mad if you call them faggots . Like get the fuck outta here dumb faggot.. lol

@hitman_90
I've never thought of it that way until ID bought it up. It's almost the same thing.. lol. Like don't call somebody a word if you get offended by it. It's like, don't dish it out if you can't take it... Is the way I see it. Fuck the special CNN/SJW "rules", no one deserves special treatment.

i have called someone a faggot before lol.. i dont really see a problem with that.. but the n word is a problem.. idk how to explain it
like it shouldnt even be legal gay marriage.. but being black has nothing to do with the law
so basically those are the differences i see lol also i believe god says no to gay marriage which is a big one.. and i believe god loves people of all colors so yeah

I speak in a non-rhotic British accent so you couldn't even tell if I said "nigga" or ..."er". Yes, you think that way, but your 'brothers' and 'sistas' may not feel that way. I think your education and media is to blame, how you teach the history. Black people and jews don't have an ownership to having a difficult past. I look white, but my ancestors weren't slavers, they fought through hard times. I don't want to have a competition of whose ancestors have suffered more because it doesn't matter. You and I have suffered none. But it is (the "er" ending version) a derogatory word, and I wouldn't use it, nor would I use the f-word for homosexuals. But if in video game rage something slips, it's not an attack on any group of people. Just a curse word like any other.

As for the N word, it means ignorant, but the use of it in the US is unacceptable IMHO. The negative connotations is the problem and understandably so.
I cannot stand that it is "ok" to say it if you are black but completely unacceptable for anyone else to use it. It shouldn't matter who says it, it should be unacceptable period!

On that sub Reddit I mentioned earlier, they like to call certain types of people coons a lot, that's just the same as calling someone a nigger to me. They're all a bit wound up on there at the moment over some black guy who's just done an AMA on Reddit, he's all about speaking to the Klan and trying to get to know them as people whilst trying to get them to see that their racism is unwarranted. He seems to be doing a decent job of it, but they fucking hate him on that sub Reddit
