Black VS. White people

[CLHanssen]

I always wanted to know this question. Why is it OK for a black person to call another black person the "N" word and when it comes to a white person calling a black person the "N" word why is it referred to as a racist comment?

[animex09]

ppl are crazy...same goes to the word -cracker- for a white person and -beaner- for a mexican.

[sousuke]

the black ppl try to make us scared so we cant....

[Koopaking]

I say whatever the hell I want to say and no one can ever do a damn thing about it. There is no such thing as a taboo word to me. So I am unphased by this discussion.

[CLHanssen]

There is a limit to what free speech. So you say whats on your mind without thinking about the consequences in what you did?

ppl are crazy...same goes to the word -cracker- for a white person and -beaner- for a mexican.

I never heard of those terms before.

[Unknown]

I don't say it..
I have no reason to say it in the first place.

Online, right?

I never heard of those terms before.

You're joking?

[1,000,000]

You know what's even worse than a black guy getting mad because someone called him a nig? A white person getting mad because someone said the forbidden "N" word. Nothing pisses me off more.

[animex09]

I never heard of those terms before.

really?..where exacly do you live?

[sousuke]

youve never heard of cracker or beaner? its the perfect blend of food lol jk but seriously cant believe youve never heard those terms....

[Shigami]

"N" word? what are you guys..eight?

Just say Nigga

ppl are crazy...same goes to the word -cracker- for a white person and -beaner- for a mexican.

You just made that up ^^

[sousuke]

yea this is the internet

[cindy]

hmmm ... well heres my opinion ... i have african american friends too and i asked them the same questions ... and they responded "african american calls each other nigers because they both are the same race, but wen a white person calls an african american niger (even thou they don't know them), they consider it as an insult or a worse way of calling an african american person" ...

[sousuke]

the black ppl try to take advantage of it an saying its there word

[tripletres]

i think thats quite stupid, if you ask me. i dont find any reason to use that word, so why should i? i also dont think its right for others to use it.

[fullmetal]

{shrugs} who knows

[Maydraie]

Personally i think the black people should get over it. How come they can say stuff about us but we can't say anything about them?

[Klard]

I don't use those words, so I don't care how other people use them.

[suune]

That is because the white people were cruel to them and called them names to humuiliate them... It's stupid anyways.. they are people too.

[Russkie]

This is a dangerous topic... why on earth did you bring this up in the first place?

[Ryuuzaki]

Yeah, this is a very dangerous topic indeed. Now, you say that when a "white" person says the "n" word, it's considered racist, and when a "black" person says it, it's not racist? Well, how did you come up with that conclusion? More like, when dark skinned people say it, they honestly don't care what people think and they wont mess with them. When white skinned people say it, they know that people care, and that they will all think badly of them (the person who said the "n" word).

But, I hate racism, so I avoid making racist comments or jokes. Anyone who is racist, is just low.

[MelBrooks]

i say just drop the topic cause this is kinda a racist theard my opion is that no one should say it

[Ryuuzaki]

i say just drop the topic cause this is kinda a racist theard my opion is that no one should say it

If you feel we should drop it, then why did you post?

shut up it was a warning

lol, I am surprised someone ever asked this question....
Especially in the country "of freedom" and "freedom of speech", where "you have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law."
honesty it's a HUGE paranoia and hypocrisy

Havent you noteiced though? Some groups of people (whether it be political, ractial, or religious), will argue thier point hiding behind the "freedom of speech". But if the opposing side even dares to go out of their boundaries, they pay the price.

The whole things stupid. Its a simple word (the N word) Why can't people just get over it?

haha, tell that to the Black ppl.....
well... it is kind of wrong... because in other countries as well as languages... "negro" (and similar) is a common word... nothing bad about.. it...
Only ppl in States... made it sound so "wrong."

[Koopaking]

It's just a word. What makes certain words bad? Who decided back in the day which words were considered foul? Why aren'tthe words "hat" or "muffin" considered dirty? They could have been.

[Russkie]

I guess it has to do with how the word was originaly used. If its said in a derogatory manner, over time that word will be known as offensive. But thats just my understanding of it.

[analogZero]

k, first, not all black folk go around calling one another nigger (or whatever variation you prefer). It did evolve from it's derogatory use and there's obvious resentment attached to it if a whitey says it. However I've known a good handful of white kids that sling the word around, even in the presence of blacks and the like, but they're suburban gangbangers that say it with no intention of demeaning the person they say it to. The whole purpose behind it was more it's intention than it's definition. You're going to attach connotation to any colourful language thrown at you, and if you're calling someone a nigger to lash out at them, then ya, they're going to take it personally. But saying it like you would dude, or man, or homie, or essay, then where's the fn harm? nowhere. you're just turning a phrase. There's just that handful of black as there are handfuls of all other people that read into it too much and see nigger as a word reserved for them. Words mean little without their intention.

[Ino]

Even though I'm black (Not really black...like a coffee skin type), black people are from the New York or the Bronx call their friends the "N" word. The "N" word is just a slang word to disrespect each other but I'm not positive if they insult them or just joke around. I heard it's a racist word. For the white people, people do call them crackers and that's just plain racist. The Mexicans are more like...potatoes. (Not being racist.)

Taking the words out of my mouth. Yes it was horrible what happened. And yes that word was used in a very bad way. I don't see you guys trying to help out people who are enslaved right now, so whats the deal with still being worried over that word. If someone says it is a hateful way then deck him, but otherwise its just a word. Well thats what I would like to say. The fact is I've been all over the US and I'll tell you that racism is still going on. I base that fact on what I have seen during my travels. Everywhere I go the majority of the people getting pulled over, harassed and generally looked down upon is still the black people. Just last week I saw 5 people getting pulled over and 4 of them were black people. I see this everywhere I go, and it's worse the farther away you are from the coasts. It really is a sad sight to see and one the main reasons I want to get out of this country. So even though they have their own MONTH dedicated to them they are still treated like crap. Hate only breads more hate and it festers at the heart of this country. So, for that word to still be so taboo, is correct. It will stay that way until this idiocracy stops.

[Nahmu]

Personally i think the black people should get over it. How come they can say stuff about us but we can't say anything about them?

what is this? people are frustrated because they cannot use the same language? well, how much more frustrated would you be if you couldn't use the same drinking fountains? buses? movie theater seating? restaurants? if you had to hold different jobs, adhere to laws specifically designed to power your oppression? if you were expected to socially accept your inferiority mentally because the majority of white folk deemed themselves superior?

after decades of frustrated oppression, the african american community is finally getting a foothold of their own in our modern day society and you guys are whining about a word.

a word which was used as a tool of hate is now being embraced by those who were hurt by it. it's a self empowering thing to be able to openly associate with such an evil past. they're allowed to use it because if said to each other, it shows that it no longer has the negative implications that it once did. however, if a white person says the same thing, he or she runs the risk of being interpreted as reusing it as it once was used.

[leerock89]

And another thing, I'm asain and I still feel that racism. Just today I went to a paint store (Sherman Williams) to get some supplies. There were 5 people there and the only one that greeted me as I walked in was the mexican guy. About 30 seconds after I went in, a middle age white woman walks in and EVERY worker greeted her. So the way I see it they ignored me because I wasn't white. It's funny, I tell all my white friends that they have no idea the advantage they have being born white in America, and they all look at me like I'm crazy or weird. I still tell them that today with proof, and do you know what they say?? Oh it's cause there not used to seeing asains. YEA RIGHT. Yea f*cken right. How can you say that when there a huge asain center right down the street. How can you say that when asains are in movies ie. Jet Li, Bruce Lee, Lucy Lu. They aren't used to seeing asain?? Why don't you change your color and eyes and see how your treated. For some reason this doesn't apply as much on the east and west coast. To much racial mingling for that to occur. Go deeper into the country and your treated like a dog.

[athrun0017]

First off.. am a bit ashamed that many people these days are still racist.. i believe the " N " word is an excuse.. i have used it while playing around but never to a black person, also being a beaner and all.. it does hurt to have people call you a " wet back " or tell you that they want to speak to someone who speaks english, when you speak it better then them!.. it amazies me because black people are always going on about how they are still being prosecuted on! when infact, they weren't the only ones.. how about the chinese people who built the railroads, or all the spanish people they killed here in Texas to crated the King Ranch! when they stole the land from us.. I don't understand why its wrong , but a simple tone or misuse of the word becomes a big issue.. i have nothing against anyone, only those who look for it.. so as that i believe many people should just keep their mouths shut and realize its not worth belittling others for amusement!

[Russkie]

In some cases, I would agree, but I see it as if they use those years of opression as an excuse to do what they want and get away with it.

I dont have anything against africans, but I dont tolerate "I can do it, but you cant because of all the suffering my ancestors went through".

just because more than one ethnic group has been historically (and even currently) negatively affected by racism, doesn't reduce the importance of other people's troubles.

i understand your point, but what are they really getting away with? sure, it's more socially acceptable for them to use the n-word, but that isn't such an accomplishment to be celebrated. in comparison to all that they still cannot do, in the shadow of their inequality in the law, one word is not a thing to resent.

[athrun0017]

maybe you should finish reading the whole comment.. rather then just abreviate about subsequent negatively about others problems.. if you want to talk about importance of other people's troubles i don't believing calling a black person the " n " word is troubling, rather i believe if you cared so much you would pay attention to those who trully suffer, like the starving people in africa, the arbian people who truly want different lives then what they go through.. ... if you want to talk about being racist, tell me how it comes to be.. the answer is that many people put themselves in those situations and always look for the easy way out! don't get me wrong Nahmu.. i understand what you are saying, but you should take note and understand how things come to be..

[jamjfly]

I think if we can't use the "N" word then they can't call us cracker.

Its probably the lack of brain cells, but I cannot think of anything to say to this comment. Maybe I will think of something later, but thats a long shot.

i reread your previous post, athrun, and i apologize if it seemed that i was attacking you personally. i was just commenting that almost all minority groups have been punished without justification and that because one is louder doesn't diminish the importance of the other.

and i do care. i do pay attention to those suffering in darfur, the orphaned children and innocent wounded who are caught in the battleground of iraq and afghanistan. i understand the institution of racism, how it breeds from hateful ignorance and, once established, stand and supports the society which bred it. would you like to elaborate on the highlighted part?

Because we are all crazy bakas plus I am netural part of both and mexican is not a race it is a mix of spain blood and central america indian blood

[puppetz]

WE ALL HAVE BELLY BUTTONS. THAT'S ALL THAT MATTERS. but seriously nahmu the fact that black people still bring it up is ridiculous. it happened years ago. and exactly how much pain did YOU go through because of slavery? im willing to bet none. i live in the Midwest. the area around my house is mostly black. i live next to Gary which was literally the murder capitol of the world like a couple years ago. the reason black people get pulled over or put in jail more is because they commit a lot of crimes. now dont get me wrong. i have no problem with black people. its the niggers that get me. the gangbanging people who dont give a shit about the community or the people in it. they only care about the rims on their car. they get in trouble more because they are arrogant and ignorant. they think that they should be treated special. i have been jumped by groups of them just for walking down the street. and its really stupid. they beat my brother with sticks like monkeys for no reason at all. they shot my neighbors car with a bb gun from their house for the hell of it. and all this happened within like 100 feet of my house. besides you see jewish people right? i think the things that their ancestors went through was way worse im sorry. but you dont see them pulling the jewish card. they dont complain about it all the time. most of the people on welfare are also black. so dont say the government isnt taking care of them. and i hate how many white people say they have no problem with blacks but they all have said derogatory comments at some time. and black people are more racist then any white person ive ever met. so i think that its all stupid and i just keep to myself about the issue most of the time but when i see white people kissing black peoples asses i get pissed.

Yeah, because it should be the other way right?



/bad joke

[illuma]

I think that its stupid personally i mean i love it when a person calls me a chink. I take pride that they acknowledge me as an asian person. I call my my black friends Niggers all the time, and my white friends cracker, and so forth. I think the real issue is how people use it. I mean there are a lot of people who use nigger and mean it in a bad way. If it wasn't for that then there would be no real problem.

thanks for contributing to the conversation, puppetz, but i don't agree with many of your points. do you also believe that the injustices played up on the native community happened so long ago that they should not be able to live off of their reservations? oppression runs deep; slavery has been abolished, but the root of racism which accompanied it has not been pulled out of this country. the playing fields are not equal and people are not treated as such.

just look around you! the reason black people get pulled over or put in jail more is NOT because they commit a lot of crimes, or at least, not MORE crimes than white people. heard of racial profiling? the prison industrial complex? the systematic, cyclical oppression of poverty (including welfare) which pushes many young african american into the only jobs available to help their families?

sure, you can be upset by gangsters, but there percentage of the african american community that fits into your tight little description is so minute that classifying more than the legitimate number of people into it is a gross generalization.

in regards to your comment on the jewish community, i would not liken the holocaust to anything. as i said in an earlier post, the oppression of others does NOT minimize the suffering of any other. just because there was the holocaust and jewish people do not bring it up does not mean that other oppressed groups must follow their lead. also, the holocaust is a much more recent event; it's traumatizing! it's not something easy to go waving around. i'm not saying that slavery wasn't also traumatizing, but it's far enough in our past to look at and wince, and then turn around to do something constructive about it... as in breaking down the prejudice and stigma on the n-word.

[strike7785]

Because everything a white person does to a black person is considered racist

[kiki]

This whole topic is giving me a FREAKING headache and now I'm just pissed off by every STUPID comment on this whole thread. I'm gonna some this up so people with so much FREAKING time on there hands can stop arguing about something that probably doesnt concern them or they didn't even care about until they read this FREAKING thread.
Because really the question of this thread has ALREADY BEEN ANSWERED.

First of all the term nigger nigga or even negro. ITS ALL ABOUT HOW YOU USE IT. Because black people have also gotten beat up for calling someone a dumba** nigga.

Second. Its ALL ABOUT WHERE YOU LIVE. I'm black and I live alittle bit upstate from NYC. White people use it all the time when they are friends are black. But when my mom was growing up in the midwest people used to get beat up for calling a black person nigga. And my dad is from Alabama so dont even make me go there.

Third. Its A DEROGATORY WORD. Just dont use it if its not ok with the black people around you or runs the risk of gettin beat up.

Fourth. There are OTHER GROUPS THAT DEAL WITH RACISM. Whether your spanish or mexican being called specs or wetbacks. Or asian being called chinks or oriental. But African American make up a larger population. Get over it. Even white people must deal with racism sometime and you probably didnt like so dont do it to others.

Fifth. Though I am happy living in the US. NONE OF THE OTHER RACES WHO DEAL WITH RACISM WERE FORCED TO COME HERE. Your parents and ancestors chosed to be here. End of story.

And Finally. All you people you keep bringing up the Holocaust. BLACK PEOPLE WERE KILLED THERE TOO along with gypsies and homosexuals. AND THERE WERE ALOT MORE GENCIDES IN AFRICA. Hey ever heard of hotoos and tutsies. Of course not. The tutsies were being killed off in a Gencide in Africa 10 years ago. And there are genocides going on now in Africa. And the total death tole is higher then the holocaust.

Now stop it guys cause really the people who don't let you say nigga aren't your friends anyway so what do you care.

EDIT-Oh yeah dont forget about lynching which wasnt that long ago.

[phi-life]

i find that its a saying for fellow black men and women to use when they refur to their same nationality this is to justify who they are and were they are from

[puppetz]

there isnt one answer to racism. its impossible to rid the world of it so why even try. its like ridding the world of anger its impossible. all this has been around since the beginning of time.

[LoD]

okay i'll make it easy for you guys. i'm black and i don't give a shit about the N=Nigga word. i have white friends and they can use it anytime. who gives a shit about the n word , people just made the whole thing racist. although i did hit a teacher for saying the N word once :D.

[Fam1st]

it doesnt really matter so we can really stop talkin about it no1 should use the word yea but talkin on the internet is not gunna change ne thing its not lik every1 in the world can see this so jus kill off the convo about black vs white i think this was a stupid topic

I'm white and my white friend text'd me and called me niggs at the end.
I hope somebody, somewhere feels insulted on my behalf.

[partyprobe]

Well its weird because my black friends force me to say that word but i feel weird. Then they call me it and im confused because im white. I don't mind being called a cracker because they are yummy.

I say we just close this thread and forget about it.

This is a serious issue that idle chitchat cannot solve. It's a cultural issue.

[La_Mort]

I think people should just stop with the labels. We` re all human beings. I think ppl just want to find whatever way they can to exclude someone outside their circle and words have been proven to be powerful. It` s like declaring that you` re better then everyone or in some cases to prove how much you fit in. It` s stupid.:mad:

[analogZero]

I don't know why these terms are thought to be offensive in the first place.

good point.

ps. if you're ever in England, be sure to call Indians 'pissheads'

[saprintha]

I always wanted to know this question. Why is it OK for a black person to call another black person the "N" word and when it comes to a white person calling a black person the "N" word why is it referred to as a racist comment?

well if you look back at the history you'll see that black people were once slaves. and many americans back then believed that america was for americans only, not for any other kind of nationalities. so during slavery in the us, blacks were considered a lower class, and since they were not "americans" they were often discriminated by the whites. today, when blacks uses tne "N" word on eachother, they don't get offended because it's it's from thier own race, but when it's a white person, it's because of america's history that may get them mad. (this happened to many other nationalities also. not just blacks.)

[Bishop]

i think if people can find a way to get them pity or can take advantage of a phrase or word they will, it rather sad really.

well if you look back at the history you'll see that black people were once slaves. and many americans back then believed that america was for americans only, not for any other kind of nationalities. so during slavery in the us, blacks were considered a lower class, and since they were not "americans" they were often discriminated by the whites. today, when blacks uses tne "N" word on eachother, they don't get offended because it's it's from thier own race, but when it's a white person, it's because of america's history that may get them mad. (this happened to many other nationalities also. not just blacks.)

I am an white male. I just hated what my race did to the African Americans and to the Native Americans as well.

your first mistake is calling black people "people", they aren't people, they are god's only mistake, put upon this earth to serve their white superiors.

Unfortunately they have somehow gotten into their head that they have rights (I blame the liberals) marching and whatnot. We as their superiors need to put them back in their place, picking our cotton and cleaning our homes. Back to the plantation with them.

And if god is too soft hearted to fix his mistake, then we as his loyal subjects must see to it that these godless animals are rounded up and shot.

monsoon's gonna be mad at you Elie!

[ichigogirl]

First of all its not about us getting over it. Its wrong for people to use the word period, I'm not saying that its ok for us black people to talk about white people because it's not, but that word was used for hundreds of years to intimidate and hurt black people its wrong either way you put it. The same goes for black people that talk about white people.

People are just so ignorant i hate it

[AnimeAlice]

hrm. idk. but what about asian ppl? lol jk. don't answer that.

[La_Mort]

this is probably irrelevant but isn`t the N word supposed to be banned officially which is stupid. People think it` s just that easy to sweep under the rug and forget but ever since they said it was banned I`ve been hearing it more then ever. so that is all...

[ichigogirl]

Black people do work, I resent you say that your not black so you don't understand when some white people look at black people they will quickly judge them by how they look and wont hire them..

I totally agree with you ichigo. As a black person it offends me that someone would think that way but that` s life and it happens. People need to stop judging each other and start working together because the world isn` t getting any better as is. That would be one less problem.

[Anime_Dude]

giving too when we were born.Instead of using those dumbass words.
this is exactly wats wrong with the world to day,we still cant get hate
the hate out...people who do that are ignorant and are the lowest life
there is

[jujutsu]

al the black boys are homeboys and they are all family so you may say it and a white boys isn't family so he cannot say it.

Honestly, I'm not racist. But I don't see anything wrong wth saying that word if your friends allow you to call them that. At my school if you say "Yo, What's up my 'N'?" You get three days detetion for being racist... Even if your friend said it was ok...

I make mexican jokes all the time! You'd never be able to tell but I myself am Mexican. About 5% maybe. Mostly Irish and Italian.

My mom is racist and she is always using the word to describe the people who live behind us. I don't use the word, and I never have, But I don't hate other people who do. My mom is always caling Van's a Beaner Mobile if a mexican is driving it. The first time she said that I had to ask what it was... I felt stupid becuase the kids at my school were very racist, they always made some comment about one race or another.

I don't think the word should get anyone in trouble unless your inteding racisism when you say it.

[Oblivious]

Can this topic please die? I'm even saying "please"!

I agree. No other race is superior than the other, and I believe that this thread will only case a dispute amongst some of the racist people here.

[blackfob]

the only reason why i would get mad
is because of the pronounciation
i dont care if people say nigga while they are talking to me or anything
i only get mad if someone says niggER
i guess because of the tone in peoples voices when they do use nigger
black people call each other nigga because its how we address each other
like how mexicans call each other fool or dick

The funny thing about this topic is that it pertains MOSTLY (99.99%) to America...I have been around the world 3 times and the only place I have heard that word is in the STATES! I honestly don't give any credence to the word in any of it's form...if some one has to resort to that word then the fact that we are in 2 different leagues is confirmed!

I can't believe that this thread is still up someone should remove it

[athrun0017]

I can't believe that this thread is still up someone should remove it

I can't answer why this thread is still up and why many still respond to it.. my guess is that , this type of a subject can be a huge contraversy to many and normally alot of people would just hide or hold it in.. either way, this thread gives people the excuse to discuss it, in any case.. am still surprised its still up..
