like Fiji said most white people would never drop the n word infront of a black person cus they know its wrong .. the definitions on paper arent relevant in the real world .. people have certain expectations in real life... if you drop the n word infront of a black guy IRL then try to point out that you arent violating the definition of racism he would slap you in the mouth

So by that logic every black guy in the world calls each other a nigger on a daily basis? If the connotation is the same with both, every time a person says nigga they're being inherently racist? Though I do see where you're coming from, the ramifications from saying the connotation is the same through both words create a double negative.
I personally wouldn't drop the n word to anyone, because of the fact that a lot of people dislike it when said by someone who is white. I'm just arguing that it's not racist; because by the textbook definition of racism it's not. I'm not saying you still won't get smacked in the mouth for it, a person may choose to dislike someone of another ethnicity saying it, but basing that dislike on grounds that it is racist is illogical. I think it's awkward as fuck when a white dude says nigga all the time in real life, but it's not "racist".
I mean, if I were to walk up to fiji and randomly say "You're a dirty chicken eating nigga" then it would be racist, because I'm degrading him with common stereotypes then saying the word nigga to seem derogatory. He would be completely justified in punching me in the face. If I walked up to Fiji and said "Ay nigga what's good?" he may not like it, hence me being white, but it's not racist in the slightest. Him punching me in the face for that would be completely uncalled for, and get him assault charges in taken to police. Same shit if I walked up to Lock or anyone else and said that. Now if I only said nigga to black people it would be a bit sketchy..
