The right to say nigga or nigger? By what law or 'rightful' claim would you justify revoking his (or anyone's) rights to use their vocabulary?
Nonetheless, this is a pretty damned pathetic thread either way.

I know you're white.
You don't understand the historical context behind the word nigga or nigger. People who arent African, or Latino (not spanish..) do not have the right to say it.

I am white, and having read Malcolm X probably doesn't make any difference when it comes to this issue.
The whole point I'm trying to make: just because white people shouldn't say nigger, doesn't mean they don't have the right to do it. Rights are supposed to be universal. You can't forbid people to use a certain word, just because it's highly charged with emotions. If you grant one person a right and then deny the next man, how are you going o call that 'right'?
I'll say nigger if I please. I have the right to say anything I please. Whether or not people feel insulted by my words, has very little to do with my rights. Just because it's inappropriate for me to say it, changes nothing about my rights.
This is probably why black people are still lagging behind today: they forgot to put their past behind them, forgetting to live by today's rights. This isn't a world of slavery anymore, although slavery clearly has left it's marks in American society. You wanted equal rights, you got them, so live by it and don't try to cancel out other people's rights as if they're inferior when it comes to certain issues. That's reversed slavery as well, keep that in mind. You don't want that, yet you're advocating for it.

Me personally I don't think anybody should use the word, period (i don't care black, white, latino, w/e). But I'm curious to why whites are so attached to the word. Like why do you want to say it or want to be accept to say it. Like why do you guys care so much about it.

Don't get me wrong, I don't feel the urge to use the word nigger or nigga at all. I think blacks who do use it 'in a friendly way' are rather ignorant and hypocritical.
I can't speak for other whites, but I'm not attached to the word. I simply respond when black people start bitching about using the word. (Besides, the only times when I'm confronted with being 'white,' is on these boards. It's like that's supposed to make some sort of difference?)
Only in an oppressing state can you forbid people to use certain words. That's censorship. That's the only point I'm trying to make: I have the freedom to use any word I'll want to use. Nobody should have the right to take those rights from me (by what right could one person's opinion rightfully overrule another person's rights anyway? That's not an equal right, that's discrimination right there and I thought blacks were so sensitive of that?)
In short: you can't forbid me to do anything but the rationally unlawful. I can't damage your property, your life and your rights of freedom. Other than that, I'll do as I please.
