Is It Acceptable For White People To Say The "N" Word?

Yes because freedom of speech yo

754

No because I'm a sad little kid who gets offended by everything

243

White people should be allowed to use it because they invented the word (doesn't matter the use) and the word almost NEVER is used in a negative way.

    • Racism only exists because we keep bringing it up. Using profound language proves your stupidity to be able to use another word or phrase so you can only use negative words to express yourself. Grow up.

    • Jesus. Now I remember why I left this shithole. It was an offensive term used by slave masters to refer to their black slaves. Why people say it nowadays, I have no idea. But just because black people say it, doesn't mean you should. Are we really being influenced by 11 year olds on Xbox that much!

    • It's stupid people still say the n word. Blacks got so offended, now they think it's a good title coming from other blacks, racist from whites. So damn hypocrite. They think they're entitled now or something?

      [b][u]Are we seriously having this discussion lmao? [/u][/b] I don't understand white people's fascination with wanting to say the word "nìgga." Every teen/young adult on Xbox live already says it lmao. You have two idiotic arguments for it. 1. "We invented it, ergo, we can say it." 2. "They say it, why can't we? Equality." Niger is latin. Negro became the noun for black in English. You didn't invent the word. A lot of people don't understand that they took something so negative, and flipped it, turning the word nìgga into a term of endearment, indicating a friend, brother, comrade. Rappers say NÌGGA, NOT NÌGGER. BIG DIFFERENCE. Let's get that out of the way lol If a rapper uses it in a song, and you're singing along, say it. I don't give a damn. It's apart of the song. As far as saying it in public, me personally, idc when my white family, or my middle eastern, asian, white, latin,...etc friends say it. It doesn't come out forced. It's just natural. They've always said it around me and it's 100% fine with me. As for others, some people are not on the same page as me. Others will take it as offensive and will not be happy at all. They might even get physical. Everyone is different. It shouldn't even be a word anybody says, like Morgan Freeman said. It should just die. Exclusiveness will always causes problems and people will always whine.

        • Why don't we just look at every group and put them in one catagory called the "human race" so nothing is offensive?

        • The word originates from Latin, Spanish, Portuguese words meaning black. Also, if black people don't want other people using the word, they should stop using it in their popular culture

                  • I don't use it just because of the potentially negative way it could be received by others, as well as the fact that I rarely swear in general (it's pointless in my opinion). However, so long as it's not being used in a derivative way, I think it's fine.
