i agree that not everyone says it with malicious intent, but if youre stupid enough to say it in front of a black person then you should be willing to accept the consequences.
its just common sense anyway, why would you ever say it in front of a black person knowing the potential outcome? imo if youre willing to risk it and you get your face beat in i have no sympathy for you.
i know if i was jewish or something and someone made a holocaust joke i wouldnt care about the time elapsed since then and now.. i would be heated as fuck
i dont think its wrong that black people get mad @ the usage of the word.. i do see other peoples POV but theres a million other words you can use, why you gotta use that one? lol. if youre willing to cross a dangerous line you should be just as willing to take whatever gets thrown at you

Just to clarify, i don't say nigga! I think it's immature either way. i think it's wrong for white people to say nigga anyway i just try think outside my own head. And the only people i have said it to.. are black, my best girl friend is mixed race and she loves it, her boyfriend is black and he loves it too.

I think some black people get a sense of pride that they've overcome their terrible history when white people joke around and use the N word around them, but i don't know if that's in the UK or just the black people i know (majority) are very very laid back.

As for the original question.. can white people call other white people nigga? Why the fuck not.. there's no black people around to ever find out, and if there's is thats a risk they have to take themselves.
