All I really want is a answer to the poll and your explanation, of why you would or wouldn't think you could use this word. Just wondering because I have heard a lot of white boys( non racist), say to either their homeboy who is black or another homeboy who is white wasup *****. Also it doesn't pertain to just whites, I have seen mexicans, latinos, and others.

I dont like the word no matter what context it is in...I have had people in my car use it and Ive told them that if they use it again they can walk the rest of the way. Most everyone that knows me personally knows how I feel on the subject b/c of some things that I have encountered in the past yr but I dont care dont lower yourself to their standards of calling someone that

i didnt vote because my answer is both.....depending on how u say the N word has a lot to do with it......
The N word with an A at the end is like a greeting of some sort. I have friends of all race and they all use it.....hell i call my bf ***** sometime and she is so puertican......
The N word with a ER at the end is found in the dictionary as ignorant. I dont think i would take to kindly to someone saying that word.....
It all boils down to the way it is used.......:thinking:

Dumb post. I don't think it should be used. Period. I don't like hearing black guys use the term, for a simple fact that if a white guy use it in the same content, the black guy is suddenly offended and wanna fight pulling the racist card. I'm not an n-word, I'm no one's n-word, and never will I be anyone's n-word. Hell, I don't even use the word. I'll call you any other word, but that. It's a very derogatory word. If I am around you and you refer to me as your n-word, I'm gonna check ya. I'm not gonna put my hands on ya, but I will let you know. Point blank.

Look, it is like females using the word bitch to one another. A guy says it to us and we flip the fuck out. A girl says it to us in a playful manner we laugh that shit off.

And for those who feel it doesn't matter what others think thats fine but you make it much easier to define yourself in society when you say the word.. especially as a term of endearment. That rationale makes me think of the saying "Ignorance is bliss"

Ignorance is a lack of knowledge. Ignorance is sometimes misinterpreted as a synonym of stupidity, and is as thus often taken as an insult.
I never said that I would get irate, nor did I say I would resort to violence. I'm a peaceful person. You can talk to anyone and get your point across in a calm manner. I truely believe in that.

I understand all points, but the term ***** started pretty much in the hood, and has been spread around like a business card. Atlhough blacks do say a lot, doesnt make it right no matter what race you are. Some blacks say it to acknowledge each other, and it is a term that needs to be removed, to me to help us better ourselves.

coming from you to me or any other Afican Merican?
I would find it offensive regardless of where it came from..The word shouldn't be used by anyone considering it is supposed to be a huge source of shame, guilt ,and sadness to many generations of Black ppl...
Why would you use a word that civil rights leaders fought against.....?

I understand what you're saying...But at the end of the day it is still a double standard....
The word n i g g e r doesn't affect me because it's just that...a word...Not to mention the fact that you'd think after all this time, racists and prejudice people would find a more creative way to insult someone.....
My thing is that you can't expect others not to say a particular word when it's part of your every day vernacular....plain and simple.
Thank you! At some point in this thread something must have turned because this is exactly what I am saying. I am Puerto Rican and I have friends that are from other Latin American countries. There are some words that do not translate appropriately between our different cultures but I can not expect them to change their form of speech or their dialect because the words that they are using are offensive to me. It is who they are and what makes them an individual.
And yes it is JUST A WORD...I personally just feel that those that get offended easily by it need to bring it up to the person using it, but also understand that this person in question should not feel obligated to change their speech because you asked. A polite and caring person would do it out of respect, but not everyone is polite and caring.

Let's say that we are all at the V and I am holding a convo with my friend and you hear me say "*****" and then I turn to you and as polite as can be I introduce myself and ask about your car. Are you going to tell me at that point that I cant use that word around you? Or would you ignore the fact that you overheard me and answer my question because I have in no way disrespected you directly?

Gotta love when people play the race card. That sucks babe, and I am sorry you had to go through that. :(
It was an experience that I will never forget but Ive had to tell myself that not all ppl are like that
I grew up in a town and went to a hs that from the time it was opened til I graduated (12yrs) there were only 10 black people that came through...we didnt ever have an issue with white or black no one was called names and if someone did say something we all said something to them
Let's say that we are all at the V and I am holding a convo with my friend and you hear me say "*****" and then I turn to you and as polite as can be I introduce myself and ask about your car. Are you going to tell me at that point that I cant use that word around you?

I do not defend the word ***** I defend all and every terminology that is constituted as being part of the English vernacular. I refuse to limit my vocabulary because someone else finds it offensive. Life is not about complying to what others want or need, it is about living and for once not having to conform to what society sees as right and wrong.

But see that is something that not many know or care about. You know waht was the saddest day for me?? I was sitting in my Civil Rights class at GSU and there was a scheduled walk out for all the latinos at a certain time, the time came and I got up to leave and it was in the middle of an exam and my professor nodded at me and smiled. You know what I hear as I am walking out? "Fucking **** thinks this is the civil rights era." Do you have any idea how outraged I was that I was the only latina in this class full of black kids and yet NOT ONE of them had the appreciation for what their ancestors did for them like I did? My professor stood up and yelled at the class and forced them to come and march with me because she couldnt believe that these kids had/have no appreciation for their history.
In all honesty if it really did bother you that I use the word *****, I would try my hardest to not use it around you in particular but I would also want you to know that if it slipped out one day around you that I in no way, shape, or form am using it to insult you or any black person in anyway.

Lets not start pointing out typos.. trust me you dont want to, plus I don't think anyone here is trying to win a spelling bee.
Your train of thought says so much that is wrong with the current generation. "I'm entitled so i don't have to care" And you laugh at people who have standards and defend them? If laughing at them allows you to accept that their standards are higher than yours then so be it.
Hopefully as maturity comes your train of thought will change along with that... as a teenager I was one of those who used the term left and right but as I grew as a person I realized how utterly stupid and disrespectful it is to myself and others around me.

sorry love, I do as I please when I please and though I may have several typos, as in spelling. I at least try to use the correct word. You can humor me by pointing mine out, I wouldnt mind. I see it as a chance to better myself.
I love the fact that you understand my train of thought so well from one discussion on the internet. My train of thought has nothing to do with entitled so dont care. It is more along the lines of entitled therefore I will. When I said that I laugh it wasnt out of humor but more out of disgust. I apologize that my panties dont get in a bunch when i hear the terms wetback or ****, like you do when you hear the term *****.
As far as maturity goes, vocabulary plays no part in maturity. However education does and I posses this also and yet have yet to change. I think it is more a matter of conformity and I have yet to reach that level in my life.
In essence we are all stating our opinions and I believe it should be the opinons attacked not the person. You can call me what you want but let's face it, when the day is over and we log out of our little heaven that is IA, we go home and just dont give a fuck...You take care of your baby and I come home and take care of my cat.

BOTTOM LINE?? YES THERE ARE "MEMBERS ONLY" WORDS!!!!!
There ARE some words, phrases, and disparaging remarks that are off limits. Let's be grown-ups: OF COURSE there are words that some groups can use that others can't.
Don't start crying --> "How come they get to?" to me. LOL. The "He did it first" mess does not fly. My little niece can't get away w/ dropping the F bomb. She tried it once, and she got the quick reminder; "That's a word grown-ups get to use and you are not a member of the Grown-up Club... and membership has it's privileges."
Some people have entitlement issues --> they are so used to privilege, that they take any infringement of their "freedoms" or "rights" as foul play (though they seem to be a lot slower on the draw when it doesn't involve them or their own group). Other people have no sense of boundaries at all. The do not understand things like "context". To misuse a word or phrase is playing w/ fire any way you slice it. But feel free to play if you are willing to get burned (Imus?).
It is NOT a double-standard, it's life. Welcome to Earth. Alphas can talk about Alphas, but Kappas better STFU and watch themselves.

you're kinda sounding racist. and i dont wanna think that of you.
Why....because the truth hurts?
It's a fact that we are falling behind....
Dropout rates, we're at the top.
Incarceration, we're at the top.
Name one positive category where we are making any significant headway....
None....Why is that?
Bec of lack of pride.....and wanting to blame everyone else for problems, disadvantages, etc, etc.....
Calling yourself a (n) word or any variation of said word shows no pride.....
And in order for me to be racist, i would have to say that my particular race is superior to your's....Now, Im and Black and latino...Mind telling me how I'm being racist ?

Sorry babe, but that is a misconstrued notion. Other races other than white can be racist. I see it all the time with blacks vs latinos and latinos vs. asian. If you meant it as self hate then nm.

sorry love, I do as I please when I please and though I may have several typos, as in spelling. I at least try to use the correct word. You can humor me by pointing mine out, I wouldnt mind. I see it as a chance to better myself.
I love the fact that you understand my train of thought so well from one discussion on the internet. My train of thought has nothing to do with entitled so dont care. It is more along the lines of entitled therefore I will. When I said that I laugh it wasnt out of humor but more out of disgust. I apologize that my panties dont get in a bunch when i hear the terms wetback or ****, like you do when you hear the term *****.
As far as maturity goes, vocabulary plays no part in maturity. However education does and I posses this also and yet have yet to change. I think it is more a matter of conformity and I have yet to reach that level in my life.
In essence we are all stating our opinions and I believe it should be the opinons attacked not the person. You can call me what you want but let's face it, when the day is over and we log out of our little heaven that is IA, we go home and just dont give a fuck...You take care of your baby and I come home and take care of my cat. Notice that in no way do our lives change...
I don't proofread
Actually every day I go to sleep I try to go more enlightened than the day before.. not "Well I'm home now so fuck everything else that happened today" Honestly I'll go home today, call up my girlfriend and talk to her about this discussion. I don't feel the need to put up this front like nothing I read online effects the way I go about my day.. truth is I learn a lot about people and life from this site and others, its the reason I enjoy coming here.
So it disgusts you to see people attempt to make a positive difference and that makes you laugh?
I commend those that try to educate others enough not to use it, but I laugh also because as you educate 5, 15 more begin to use it in a different area.

BOTTOM LINE?? YES THERE ARE "MEMBERS ONLY" WORDS!!!!!
There ARE some words, phrases, and disparaging remarks that are off limits. Let's be grown-ups: OF COURSE there are words that some groups can use that others can't.
Don't start crying --> "How come they get to?" to me. LOL. The "He did it first" mess does not fly. My little niece can't get away w/ dropping the F bomb. She tried it once, and she got the quick reminder; "That's a word grown-ups get to use and you are not a member of the Grown-up Club... and membership has it's privileges."
Some people have entitlement issues --> they are so used to privilege, that they take any infringement of their "freedoms" or "rights" as foul play (though they seem to be a lot slower on the draw when it doesn't involve them or their own group). Other people have no sense of boundaries at all. The do not understand things like "context". To misuse a word or phrase is playing w/ fire any way you slice it. But feel free to play if you are willing to get burned (Imus?).
It is NOT a double-standard, it's life. Welcome to Earth. Alphas can talk about Alphas, but Kappas better STFU and watch themselves. Marines can talk shit about each other, but don't let a grunt get into the fight. Family can talk about family, but every1 else better know that there is a line they can't cross if they don't share my last name.

No no, it is more like this... You can educate John, Mary, and Susie, but then you have Rashad, Wykenia, and Obadiah that receive a different education. What applies for a, b, and c isnt always the same for x,y, and z.
I commend you on trying with some, but at the same time I just think it is a lost cause for others, hence why I laugh.
Once again not saying you, just a generalization.

Some use the N word directed towards blacks the same way someone may use the C word directed towards women. Like some comedian said it is the "A-Bomb of adjectives".
It's not just a word, the sentiment is one of derision and hate. One can let it slide like water off a ducks back all day long, but that does not change the intent. To me, it's all about context. No offense to ducks.
Speeding is not a crime when you are on the way to the hospital b/c your pancreas is in the passenger seat. CONTEXT IS THE KEY, NOT THE WORD.

For Black America = in many words of Marcus Garvey and Fredrick Douglas " Your Damned If You Do and Your Damned If You Don't"
Spoken by BTEC:
Billions of pple died for that word and now everyone you can think of thinks its cool to use it.
its a slang word taken for granted or over drawn.
One person can not stop an army especially a black person this day and age.
so all you can do is sit back and watch or don't tolerate it in your circle of friends. People do what they want when they want. its almost useless cause alot of kids and adults do not overderstand or feel the true meaning of it. You will effect those around you not the world.
so its something you just have to deal with
