So apparently I'm a racist bigot according to my friend, I've known her since we were 6 and we were pretty close. But now the only real reason we talk to each other is because we have mutual friends. Anyways one of our friends said nigger whilst singing a song and all hell broke lose. I defended my friend and told the crazy bitch that just because she said nigger in a song with no ill intentions didn't mean she hated blacks. But the bitch continued to spout crap about how no one but blacks can say nigger, she also isn't black so the reason she got so worked up about it was beyond me, I continued to justify saying nigger as the book Huckleberry Finn uses the word and that doesn't mean everyone who's ever read it is a racist. She said if you enjoyed the book you're a racist, after that the bitch walked off, but not before calling me a racist in public, it was fucking humiliating.
Am I really a racist because I've sang songs with the word nigger in it, who's in the wrong?
Intention of meaning does not equal semantic meaning. Saying nigguh is harmless. Calling someone nigga outloud is. Its like voldemort. Most of his power came from not even naming him.
1. Let’s face it, the song probably had the word “Nigga” in it, not Nigger. 2. You’ve outed yourself as racially insensitive with your constant use of the word “Nigger” rather than using “Nigga”. 3. You’re the whole reason why people claim all whites do nothing but ignorantly appropriate black culture.
t. Black guy from Detroit
In all honesty I don’t care if you say “Nigga” when it’s in a song, but bro “Nigger” would get you laid out and labeled at the very least racially insensitive.
Andrew Gonzalez
She's a cunt, stop talking to her. As aforemention there's no bad words, only bad intentions. She's a blatant sjw so of course she would know nothing about that.
Hunter Wilson
I didn't realise spelling it like "nigger" instead of "nigga" was a big deal but I guess it is. I'm assuming "nigga" is more of a friendly harmless way of saying it whilst "nigger" is straight up racist.
Adam Butler
How is it racially insensitive to say the word nigger in an entirely non-racist context? How is it appropriating black culture? What the actual fuck my dude?
Jose Scott
>Am I really a racist because I've sang songs with the word nigger in it, No. Some people just get really invested in their taboos and keep cranking up the sensitivity.
Levi Ross
The reason why it’s racually insensitive is because that was the exact word used against blacks, whilst nigga can be used as a term of endearment. When it comes to ignorantly appropriating black culture, it’s obvious that you guys like rap music, that’s fine. But please try to learn something about why certain words are used. Like the very basics would be to learn why Nigga is used while Nigger isn’t, unless the context is literally racial inequality.
t. Same black guy from earlier.
P.S it’s great seeing white people enjoy and embrace the culture and Hell a lot of whites have even influenced it for the better. You aren’t racist if you say “Nigga” you just look a bit insensitive using the word “Nigger”. All things considered.
Joseph Johnson
Looking like and actually being so are two separate things. Context is everything. If I call you a nigger, that is racist. If I sing a song that happens to have nigger in it with the hard "er", that isn't necessarily racially insensitive unless its like alabama nigger or some shit like that.
As for appropriating black culture, just get the fuck out with that in general. You wanna give back those jeans you wear? Baseball caps? Most of the music you probably like? All products of white culture.
Robert Murphy
Stop interacting with leftists. "Racism" isn't even wrong, they just like to bludgeon people with it.
Chase Rodriguez
I understand the history behind the word, I just don't understand why black people get soo offended by it, they weren't directly affected by slavery, it was their ancestors. Also if black people hate it when non blacks use it then they should stop promoting the word in songs, do they honestly expect others of different races to skip the words out? Either everyone can say it or no one can.
Wyatt Russell
>they should stop promoting the word in songs Record labels are completely dominated by Jews, and the """controversy""" over this is similarly encouraged and taken advantage of by Jews.
John Sanders
Racism is inherently human nature, because one wants to protect People of his kin. So Stop making this Shit out to be the worst Thing in the World for christs sake. Leftists and liberals are basically braindead and cucked beyond belief.

Your friend is an illiterate philistine if she says you are a racist if you like huckleberry finn. Cut her out of your life. And avoid using the n word unless the government tries to ban it.

Only true monkeys get offended by a single fucking word big fucking deal bro someone said A FUCKING WORD wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww everyone panic!!!!
For real you americans can't get more stupid and retarded, I don't even know how can you allow such faggotry in your country, I mean give me a fucking example of a fucking word anywhere else that can get you in such trouble besides germany and heil hitler stuff.
Like it's just a a word you monkeys, oh no but my grandmas grandma was a slave!11!11!! fuck oooooooooooooooooooooooooooffffffffffffffffffffffffffff you damn well know who is truly racist and who is not, I swear you americans are the dumbest shitters in the world letting this shit loose, either you are stupid or an idiotic lunatic letting ideologies eat your brain alive like the bitch you call your friend, her brain is getting cancer her ideas are probably not even hers she saw on the tv how saying nigger is death penalty worthy so yeah
I'm just fucking mad that someone can be so dumb as you fucks can be, like you even opened a fucking post about this shit you are starting to doubt yourself just look how far this is going lmfao keep em coming america

>no one but blacks can say nigger, she also isn't black Thank you, left.
Camden Fisher
I don’t think that many of us care, by us I mean black people. It’s just kinda weird sometimes when you hear a white person say “Nigga”. I honestly think most of the black people you see spazzing about it have nothing better to do. Also as far as the appropriating comment I made earlier, I meant the music, not the initial fashion of clothing. However, as time went on the style and overall flair had become rap oriented. (At least at certain points.)
Let’s just all agree to respect each other, the golden rule applies. Everyone is my nigga, and hey if that makes you feel cool/uplifted then sure. We all one species.

stop lying to save face you retarded american, even if you aint from there it only makes the situation even more pathetic for you idiotic mongoloid where the fuck is nigga/nigger a problem besides america? are you from UK? could it be that american ideology/pop culture is getting there? yes it could bitch america/UK i dont give a shit you are retarded if you are letting these ideas get to you try to think by yourself stupid sheep, your "friend" is a lost cause her IQ is below 70 and has exactly 18 neurons alive working at max power to keep her alive stupid shitter, americans are kings at being retarded but I guess britfags are 2nd place arent you ?
Austin Gutierrez
Racism is what you do, not what you say. Every human on the planet has discriminatory tendencies, my opinion is that its evolutionary. We evolved to judge things and categorize them quickly with our eyes. As long as you are capable of seeing when your initial judgement is wrong, being quick to judge is fine. This includes wanting to avoid certain races.
In terms of you... No saying nigger is not racist and people like her perpetuate a self fulfilling prophecy wherein the result is ACTUAL racial tension.
Thats bullshit. Get the fuck over it. The word nigger never lynched anybody. People did that. The word nigger never imprisoned a black man, people did. I have zero respect for those that allow themselves to be emotionally controlled by any one word
Jaxson Fisher
Got to hand it to you, you guessed right. But I'm curious, where the fuck are you from, maybe some third world shit hole?
Jace Clark
doesn't matter from where I am idiot ito nly matters if I'm right or not and I indeed fucking am bitch you can tell to yourself i'm not to protect your little ego or some bullshit like that but facts are facts society is going to shit just look at this thread you had to fucking ask dumbshit I hope you are atleast young or some shit and have been born into this cancer carousel because otherwise there is no fucking excuse
Caleb Clark
Yeah society is going to shit, but complaining about it on Jow Forums isn't going to help.

You and everyone you know should ghost her because she's a psycho piece of garbage and she'll try to screw you over for social justice points.

This entire thing is ridiculous and I know exactly how blacks talk about whites.

Mixed girl from thankfully not detroit because I don't want to get stabbed.
>The reason why it’s racually insensitive is... The reason is its a great way to control what someone is allowed to think and say otherwise they will be labeled as "bad". Its about control.

no one said I wanted to help it can't be helped only thing one can do is help oneself and those who wanted to be helped and that let themselves be helped
society has gotten to a point that it's utterly disgusting like shit seems straight out of a hell depiction people getting more and more deluded about what is important and what is not, wanting and wanting more and more it's just ridicolous I want to see for how long can this shit go on until society collapses because it surely will, I don't know when nor how but it will fucking happen.
Gavin Moore
If you want to sit back and watch the world burn then good on you, but don't categorize all americans and brits as retards

don't tell me you are getting offended please it would be golden friendo, getting offended on Jow Forums please PLEASE if you are getting offended leave this place and go watch some TV some safe space program something like that where you can feel relaxed and not triggered by anything even tho sometimes they will show triggering content but of course they will warn you about it with the lunk alarm so you can lkeave the room while they are displaying triggering stuff
even if you are not retarded most of the population is indeed retarded as shit like they buy into anything that is shiny and looks good outwards wow that shit looks good yeah lets pretend we are something else lets pretend we are better than the rest holy shit and yes american (and uk it seems) are rank 1 at that my friend rank 1 at western filthy culture that makes sure to eliminate any sign of the true nature of oneselff that we have withing you are living a lie my friend
Jose Bailey
Lol most of you guys linking to my second post really ought to check yourselves. I mean seriously, “Nigger never lynched anybody, people did”? C’mon bro, that’s just stupid. If you hate African Americans/blacks, just admit it. Lol bro just think about it this way if a few black people were in the room would you be ballsy enough to say “Nigger” or “Nigga”? Shit the choice is yours.
Christopher Powell
>Insinuates there would be negative consequences, most likely physical, if I said a word in the presence of a certain type of people >I'm the one being unreasonable
You are so full of shit. This is why I don't respect people like you. You think it's actually acceptable or even understandable that people snap like trained dogs at the drop of a word. I have higher standards for people. There is a reason that black people with jobs like to say "there's niggers and then there's black people"
Nathan Campbell
I mean the only person who's triggered here is you. You continue to write long ass paragraphs where you repeat yourself using different words, you hate americans with your only excuse being they're retarded, you claim society is shit going on rants about the retards and then continue to act like an imbecile yourself. I never got offended, I simply think it's ignorant to claim all people from a certain country are the same, please educate yourself.
Oliver Rodriguez
I mean it’s just a word ultimately. I’ll be annoyed if somebody I don’t know comes at me with that shit, but otherwise me and my white friends make nigger jokes all the time. We’ve taken to saying “Niggas iffy” ironically when someone irks us.
>few black people were in the room It's funny that you unintentionally outed how cowardly the average black is. If one white person and one black person were in a room, and the white person said "nigger", the most that would happen is that the black person would get butthurt and try and act tough before ultimately backing down. Blacks will only engage in physical violence when they have a significant numerical advantage. You know this deep down, which is why your scenario included "a few" black people instead of just one.
Jonathan Carter
Lol black people cowards easy to type that on an anonymous image board. I think people just need to chill and fall back on the golden rule.
t. Same black dude
Luis Lee
>More implications of physical consequences from the hyper reasonable "just don't say the word I don't want you to say" gospel
Fuck that. I'll keep holding black people to the same standard I hold everyone else to and you can keep thinking they are so weak that they need to be catered to when whitey drops a hard R. Get the fuck outta here with that bullshit.
>She said if you enjoyed the book you're a racist Holy shit.
Joshua Peterson
desu if people could say racial slurs freely without getting their asshole hemorrhoided up I think life would be a lot more fun and easygoing. Imagine if you could just call a black person a nigger, a white person a sister fucker, a jew a kike, a mexican a wetback, an asian a chink, and whatever the fuck else there is all just as a bantering conversation. Fuck that'd be great.
Adrian Scott
I agree completely, user. I know, right?
Matthew Powell
The whole point of freedom of speech is to defend it for views you despise. You don't have to defend the actual views themselves, but rather the right for someone to say it.
In a decent world, we would barely give hurtful words a second thought. You either choose not to say it because it feels wrong, or you ignore the person saying it because it's just a word. But we don't live in a fantasy land. There is a deep, violent history associated with that word and you can expect people to get outraged when someone uses that word. It's just an unfortunate facet to life.
That said, your friend got her panties in a bunch and expressed her anger in a misguided way. Her motives are cool, but her execution was childish.
Jeremiah Gutierrez
Guys. Words are not hurtful. Intention of words are. Saying waddup my nigga with a friend will only make you cringy, not racist. Btw this is my nigger chink nazi leftist trump voter cat. Notice how words are harmless and intention is not.
it's probably because most black people will only hear "nigger" coming out of a white person no matter how much of a "a" they try to put on it...
Oliver Nelson

Easton Scott
This is why Latin America should be range banned. They're so obsessed over one country it's actually worrying. Jow Forums would be infinitely better if they couldn't post.
Nathaniel Roberts
No ofc not but you have to not say these things.
Lucas Ross
Context and intention matters, being angry at the word itself is dumb. Also, if they don't like other people using the word then maybe they should stop using it themselves. Kendrick Lamar had it right when he suggested they should say negus instead, since it means King in Ethiopian, and there you go everyone can say it. But theyre just angry in general and they choose to take it out on shit like this, you're not racist user.
Grayson Wood
questions like "is that racist" are very ideologically charged and you're going to get different opinions on the subject based on individuals subjective definition of racism.
its not a good idea to say that word, but a lot of people who try to explain why do a poor job because they're white and aren't speaking from experience. here's the best explanation I've encountered: youtube.com/watch?v=0-wMrRlOCgs
Jacob Richardson
>t. black guy from Detroit Just remember, it wasn't whites who destroyed all of those houses

detroit's economy was decimated after american car dealers failed to compete in international markets. instead of improving their products, the automotive industry cut wages driving residents further into poverty and misery, eventually relocating to regions where they could pay employees less, completely destroying detroit's economic base. but sure, blame the people who have nothing and not the investors who sit on their assets making millions each week from your hard work.

Thats only because you fucking. Monkeys have a history of going banannas and physically attacking people over words. When will you people realize that words have no power or control over you unless you grant them that power and controll.
Wyatt Nguyen
Couldn't agree more
Kevin Taylor
What does any of that have to do with niggers burning houses down? When the Jews made Detroit go to shit, the working class whites moved on with their lives and sought new economic opportunities, while the blacks got butthurt and turned Detroit into a third world slum. This has all happened since the civil rights movement of the 1960's. How come the blacks, in an era of racial equality (and in many cases, racial equity favouring blacks) coped so much worse than the whites?
Adrian Reyes
okay may I have your full name and bank account details because those words have no power over you?
Dominic Jenkins
>Am I really a racist because I've sang songs with the word nigger in it
I'm pretty sure you're capable of determining whether you're a nigger or not. You seem to already know that the word "nigger" is only offensive when used in certain context, and that's how to determine whether the word "nigger" is offensive or not - in which context it's being used it.
Jack Robinson
Personal information and racial slurs are two different things you retarded bastard
Joseph Bennett
if he even bothers replying to you, I guarantee he is juat going to blame white people in a different way. American blacks know only how to blame other people. they will never take responsibility for their own shortcomings.

>words have no meaning guise >no wait they actually do lol racists are dumb.
Giving away bank account details affects people financially and could make them go broke, however a simple word like nigger could only potentially hurt someone's feelings. Educate yourself please.

Brayden Russell
You fucking retard, how have you managed to stay alive so long without getting yourself killed? Going broke causes problems such as being homeless or not being able to eat whereas being called nigger only hurts someone's feelings, there's a big difference in the severity of these situations, you can't seem to comprehend it due to your lack of knowledge.

quick question for the nazi dudes trying to raid this thread, what do boots taste like? I'm white lol >the jews did this did your boss tell you that one? >the working class whites moved on with their lives and sought new economic opportunities because white working class appalachia is doing so well right now >an era of racial equality “The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I’m saying? We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did.” --John Erlichman, advisor to Richard Nixon en.wikiquote.org/wiki/John_Ehrlichman

Wyatt Garcia
I admit me calling nigger a 'racial slur' completely contradicted my previous argument of it being just a word. However I still stand by my original point. I don't think it's necessary to get offended at the word nigger, unless it was used with ill intentions. I think it's perfectly fine for non blacks to say it as long as their intentions aren't bad.
Robert Morales
>blah blah blah I don't care and I'm not reading your stupid post. Words have meaning. That's my point and that's all that matters.
Lucas Hernandez
>Am I really a racist because I've sang songs with the word nigger in it, who's in the wrong? Racism has shades. It is most certainly some brand of ignorance for sure. I dunno why you fucking brainlets completely accept the concept of contextual language in every day of your lives but conveniently forget it when racial slurs are involved. The reason the word nigger belongs to blacks is the same reason you don't call your boss "bro" or why you don't call your parents by their first name or why you call your girlfriend baby and not other girls. Language is contextual. If I was never in the Marines and I go around saying semper fi Marines are probably going to get pissed off. Just because you don't hate blacks doesn't mean you still can't be ignorant. Sing the songs on your own all you want but don't be a fucking tool and act all surprised when other people get pissed off about it. If you think that you should be allowed to say nigger with no consequence then it should also be okay for strangers to call you an asshole with no consequence because its the same concept. If you allow your friends to call you names like asshole or douche bag but you get pissed when strangers do it you're a hypocrite.
Charles Ward
So do you think a non black person singing a song with nigger in it shouldn't be allowed to say nigger whilst singing the song?
Levi Smith
that wasn't your original point, it was the point you backpedaled to after you couldn't defend the original. see youtube.com/watch?v=0-wMrRlOCgs for why that one is wrong too.
Alexander Rodriguez
So then what exactly was the original?
David Fisher
>So do you think a non black person singing a song with nigger in it shouldn't be allowed to say nigger whilst singing the song? It has nothing to do with "allowed". Any human being can say anything they want but pretending like the word "nigger" isn't contextual and every other word is is completely illogical. You can say what you want and also accept the responsibility of saying it. I'm allowed to call my boss a cocksucker and then I can accept the responsibility of being fired. "But if your friends outside of work get to call you a cocksucker then so should I" isn't a valid reason for purposefully ignoring the basic concepts of human language just because I feel like it isn't fair that I can't say a word whenever I want without consequences.
