Educated black people still remember lynchings from the 1950's (like Emmett Till) and white people using the word as definite racial slur with the -er pronounced at the end, but juxtapose that with the 90's Take the Word Back movement which try to drop the -er and add an -a to make the word mean brother or family.

Two opposite definitions = a bit confusing for both the black and otherwise community. Either way white people should just avoid using the word as Just C pointed out.

wow are you serious ...Africans? from Africa dont say nigga ....i'm pretty sure..Black People In America say it to kind of Own the word! how do you remove negative thoughts from some thing ...make it positive
Nigger def. is a Lazy White Person ...not a Black Person
Nigga def. is a brother

if your not a minority you'll never understand it which its not your fault its how you wer socialized
chose to be bigger then words my NIGGAS!

think about this, the swastika is negative to the Eye cuz of what it represents Nazis Jews Genocide
but if you tilt it so its flat and not at an angle its the SIGN OF PEACE that has been used for hundreds of thousands of years!:jacked:
people always chose to remember the negative! coz the have to work alot harder to be POSITIVE

idk about the Lazy white person thing but...


"nigger" from what i know is the racial slur for black people

and "nigga" also means "Ignorant person"

Obey 08-01-2013 02:54 PM

Okay, but that's not the issue. Whether you're ''owning'' the word or not. You make it seem less serious, even if he said ''nigga'' I'm sure it'd be getting the same attention.

V3numb 08-01-2013 03:00 PM

saying nigga is like running with scissors.. you may or may not get hurt

saying "nigger" is like throwing a grenade into the crowd, you're bound to get some shit


the differences will always be debated on and imo would never be solved... because ppl are hard-headed and have their opinions.. unless you're growing up around ppl that say the word as we did you really cant even begin to comprehend.. im Asian.. and say it to other asians.., moved to Ct said it to blacks.. and they was cool with it too tbh.. (aside from the handful that hate what they dont understand.. but them cats were Low tier to my school clique)

Africans do say nigga. Shit serbians, polish, Italians and Spanish say Nigga. And there is a reason for the term AFRICAN American.

And yeah Obey. A clip of him being caught out saying it.

Obey 08-01-2013 03:32 PM

In his interview he said he got in an altercation with a black security guard.. Ending in this pretty low-classed move. @Just C

If you're not black, you sound like a fool saying what black people should be doing or how they should perceive something. The same goes vice versa. You may think you have an idea what it's like to live in someone else's world or to walk in their shoes, but you really don't.
