I have a question for every1 here, how do you feel when u hear a white kid say nigga, i personally dont say it at all unless it slips out, an when i see a white kid say it like any other word, i say to myself what right do they have to say it. But tha thing is, if a white person says most of tha time they are considred a racist. But also why is it alright for a black guy to call me white boy or cracker, does that make them a racist, society says no, chris rock says it all tha time an no1 calls him a racist an i dont think he is but if i say tha "N" word a lot of people would consider me a racist, why is this double standard allowed
-
That's Just The Way It Is I Guess
-
iz aight unless they r wiggas, who keep sayin it over and over to act 'cool' or sumthin, that shit makes me sick
-{bLaDe}
-
It's basically still a sensitive topic, there's a difference though, I mean 'Nigger' is like the harsh way to put it, but 'Nigga' to me is jus' like a word to describe a homie or friend, well I spose it depends on who says it & how it's said. American's seem to throw it around alot more than we do in the UK though, heh.
-
i think nobody should be using words like nigga, cracker, etc. too much controversies and tensions
-
this is a black people post , white people can't really anwser this , i ain't racist but when a white person come in my face and tell me ," dawm this boy is sayin the n word like he was a nigga" this shit piss me off more .. i mean , mind your business , if i feel offend or some , i'll take care , fucker
personally i don't give a fuck if anybody say the nigga .... cause everybody know in everydomain used it , so the word is in the dic.. to so me i don't give a beep , except if the boy sayin it just to piss me off, now i'll react like a real motherfucka , >:( naww mean
-
yeah it pisses me off some times and i'm white...I cannot stand white kids that Think they are Mr. Ghetto Thug.thye walk around and be like Yo nigga..nigga this..nigga that..I think it is ignorant.I don't really use the word...Even when i am rappin along to song i change the N word into a different word...
-
i feel what e'rybody sayin on this one. itz funny tah see white folkz reactin to racism like dat tho. i mean, tah be upset at bein tha "victim" of racism. cus no matter how much racism a white person endures, its nothing in tha overall sceme. therez racism in every race. black, white, hispanic, asian....it dont matter. every group has racist people. tha prollem in this country is, that forEVA, white men have controlled the country. which makes racism coming from them, to seem much much worse. as well as sexism from a male, is much worse then sexism from a female. especially when u consider the history of tha country. to me, racism is dangerous...when theres power behind it. in a country still ran by white men, well...if they hate...they are in control of laws, n the way the country is ran. and able to impose their racist viewz on decisions that effect people. howeva, if someone hates them, who is not in power.....well....so what? i dunno. i dont think anyone EXPECTS anyone else to completely understand theyre situation in all this. only tah TRY n understand, and repect where theyre comin from.

i dont trip on nonna that. i mean if they for real then i dont care. there are white folkz in tha ghetto wit e'ryone else. itz one thing when sum kid frum tha suburbz think they thuggin. well, that shit iz jus comedy. i mean, cus eventually they goan get ate up actin like a thug. but thea are sum white boyz in tha hood thatll put one in yah ass lol. itz tha same shit wit asianz out hea in kali. when i be talkin tah folkz on tha eastcoast, tha only way they see asianz is if they doin nailz, or gotta corna store. but in kali, they gangbang. n they fah real about it. prolly tha most viciouz gangz on tha streetz. eitha them or tha ese'z.

Yo my personal opinion is that the word "nigga" is a black word used 2 mean homie or dawg but as soon as the it comes out the white mans mouth it is being racist to the black ppl. I mean cos I'm white and I know the white ppl invented the word "nigger" to put the black ppl down (I even hate seperatin this by colour).
But nigga is there to be used by the black ppl only. They turned the word around and for a white person to use it, hell it sohuld be only accepted as racism. I mean my homies were using it with each other and I was like..."wtf...nah hold up. you ain't using that word" so I got them to start callin themselves "wigga" rather than "nigga" so it an improvement.
But so wot if the black ppl call us crackers or white boy....the white ppl call them black ppl or "nigger" or "chocolate drop" so stop using stupid excuses for why you are called a racist if you use the word "nigga".
The black ppl have taken so much shit of the white ppl for yrs and white ppl still got nuttin 2 do but complain about them.
Anyways but sickens me more and infact makes me ashamed of my color is the KKK. I know it not right to bring them up but for a country liek Amerika to say it is the land of the free and then supply police for a KKK rally...huh....sum land of the free.
Anyways I am white and by no means do I want to be black. That is meant in no way as disrespect to black ppl but I was born this way and you jsut gotta accept the way you were born.
-
yah, unfortunately when u have a country that is supposed to allow free speach. u hafta allow even those who have ignorant views....to say what they want. it is crazy tho. i mean, that u can have a klan rally....n it will be protected by tha police. but, rap concerts are cancelled ALL the time by different venues because they think there will be violence. outsiders lookin in at thiz country alwayz think its sumthin great. but really, itz a land of hypocrits sumtimes. as far as white folkz usin tha word "nigga". yall focusin on it too much. i mean, its important tah understand WHAT u are sayin when u use that word, n what u mean by usin it. also understand, where u are. if itz jus u and yur homiez, n u white n they black...n THEY dont mind it...then use it around them. but also dont be surprised if it offendz sum1 else, n they whoop yo ass for usin it lol. itz not a difficult thing tah undastand really. different shit, offends different people. the same way, i could call sum1'z mama a bitch....n theyd be ready tah kill me. n sum folkz...u call they mama a bitch, n they jus laff.

Someone Help Me Out Wit This:
Cracker= Someone who Cracks, I.E., a Slave Owner Who Cracks A Whip. That's Obviously Where The Word Came From. Most People Think It Has Something To Do WIth The Color Of Crackers, But It's Really Not...
Nigger= What Does That Mean? I Haven't Been Able To Figure It Out, What Is It To "Nig" Something Or Somebody? Does Anybody Know Where This Came From? Does It Have Something To Do With Niger, Or Nigeria, Or Were Those Named Retrospectively? I'm Gonna Guess Maybe That's Where The Word Came From (Niger) But Does Anybody Know What It Means?
BTW, I Think It's Racist To Call Somebody Nigga, Nigger, Cracker, Jew, Kike, Whatever. It's All Racism, Shouldn't Happen One Way Or The Other. I Don't Like Hearing The Word Period, Even If It's A Black Guy Saying It To A Black Guy... I Find Myself Calling White People Crackas Sometimes Though, Just For A Laugh (Since I'm White)... Try Saying "Cracka PLEASE!" In Public To Somebody, It's Hilarious.

I understand what you're saying, and theres some ignorant sons a bitches in the clan, but it works both ways. How about this example?
BET= Black Entertainment Television.
Now, if I was to open
WET= White Entertainment Television
How would that go over? I'd get my white butt thrown in jail, probably. Why? Because it'd be racist, and I couldn't make a claim for it NOT being racist. Why is it o.k. for a minority to do it but not a majority? And don't give me something about how all t.v. is white entertainment, I acknowledge that, I'm just talking about the name, and the racist connotations. Just trying to get people to think.
Peace~

It is true tho, most tv is set up for white people. i dont see anything wrong wit tha name BET. it doesnt mean that the channel is ONLY for black folks, it jus means that its entertainment that will apeal tah black folks...more so then TNN would lol. itz crazee when i hear people talk. i mean, a show like friends, or seinfeld, or frazier, or cheers...or any of these shows....when they are talked about, are simply talked about as good sitcoms. point blank. but a show like martin, or steve harvey show.....they are considered "black shows" to white people. why is that??? If tv wasnt set up this way. n there wasnt a one-sided view to things on tv....BET would have no need to exist.

I got a question.........
Is Michael Jackson allowed 2 say Nigga now? ;D
lol........ya I know, dats dumb, but I had 2 say it.........

LMAO! u dumb homie. lol. but fah real..i dont like lookin at Michael Jackson. hiz ass is scaree lookin lol.
-
Nah, he'd never say nigga. He cusses on albums though, but never in real life. By the way, Michael was nominated for 5 NAACP Awards this year, so I guess yeah, he's still considered black if he wanted to say 'nigga' nobody'd trip. He's Getting a lifetime achievment award at the AMA's in january, performing at the Grammys in February, and performing at the World music awards in march, Then planning a us tour next summer, so I guess it's POSSIBLE for a black guy to get success in music without saying 'nigga' every other word.
And Tone, what would you think, you never answered the question, if somebody made a channel called White Entertainment Television? Wouldn't that piss you off?
-
im not a fan of Michael Jackson..But isn't there a song where he is saying kike and makin fun of jews
-
Nah, that's just b.s. He had a song called "They don't really care about us" where the hook was like "All I wanna say is that, they don't really care about us"... In the song he's talking about racism and things, and he says "Jew me Sue Me, Everybody Do Me, Kick Me Kike Me, Don't Youblack or white me" He's just ranting off racist names, and racist attitudes. The song's all about anti racism, and the press isolated that one line to make it look like he was being Anti-Sematic. Anyways, he put out a new version of the cd where he changed it to "Do me, sue me" or something, then "Kick me, bite me" in the other part. His buddy Steven Spielberg is Jewish, and he said that mike wasn't saying anything about Jews, he just picked the wrong words for the song, so it's all good.
Anyways, back to what Tone was saying, Friends, Sienfeld, and Cheers are great sitcoms, that's why their considered great sitcoms. Shows like Martin and the Steve harvey show only appeal to the Black audience, so their called "black" sitcoms. Shows like Sanford and Son, The Cosby Show, the Facts of life, The Jeffersons all had mainly black characters over the years, and none of those are called black sitcoms, because they reached the white AND the black audience. If a show is predominantly appreciated and aimed at the black audience, what is the problem with calling it a 'black' sitcom? Isn't that what it's intended to be? I'll bet if I laughed at the situations in the Steve Harvey show, somebody black would tell me I was being racist laughing at black family life like that. People are too overly defensive.
And it goes both ways. Don't you think Elvis, Perry Como, Tony Bennett, Frank Sinatra, Barbara Streisand, Etc. would be considered "white" music because they don't reach the black audience? It's not 1 sided like you're saying, it's definately unbalanced but it does go both ways. How many black people you know that listen to the Carpenters, or Country music? Wouldn't that be called "white" music? LOL Same exact thing working both ways.
-
And Tone, what would you think, you never answered the question, if somebody made a channel called White Entertainment Television? Wouldn't that piss you off?
ay man, i neva said i was black lol. im filipino n white. so im half white mahself. so basically i can look at thingz frum 2 sides of the argument. the white side, the filipino (minority) side. i mean. there is still somethin about havin a channel that is called "White Entertainment Telivision" that bringz out a racist feel to it. more then "Black Entertainment" or any other form of tv set up for minorities. But, i think that was caused by white people. like i said before, if tv was set up in an equal way...thered be no need for it. look at it like this. if u have cable, u have ALL these different channels for different cultures. u have Spanish TV channels for hispanic people. u have asian channels, filipino channels, prolly even middle eastern channels. true they usually only have ONE channels. but, theyre are set up so that people frum those cultures have sumthing of their own to be able to relate to. Black people in this country have a different case. for sum reason, probably because theyve been here so long. white people tend to think that they dont have their own culture. that their gonna just like the same things that whites like in this country. well, thats wrong. so just as we have spanish tv, filipino tv or whatever....we have BET also. the reason the "W.E.T." like u were talkin bout, brings a feel of racisim. is because for so long in this country, things were set up ONLY to include white people. no one else. so seeing that, on tv...almost seems as a step back to that. Also, to say that shows like Friends, Seinfeld, or Cheers are jus GOOD sitcoms. yet Martin or the Steve Harvey shows only appeal to black people. thats jus crazee. what makes Seinfeld or Friends, any less of a white show, as Martin is a black show? i dont get it?? If a show has ONLY white people in it, its jus normal for sum reason. but if a show were to have ONLY a certain minority (black in this case) then its considered a black show. and its ALWAYS that way. thats just a way of lessoning the value and credibility of the show, in mah opinion. so that prejudices critics can say, "Its a good BLACK comedy". Shit, its good whetha it has white, black, hispanic or whateva people in it. this is jus gonna be an ongoin debate anyways. but im jus lettin u know wha i think about it. dont trip tho, im half white, half filipino....n i dont wanna be anything else. but i can see when things arent right...

yeah that was dumd.... n sayina wrod like this can be racist if two race are involve , if a black say nigga to his homboy , it ain't racist , the was raise this way...
even if ya'll talk about it fo hour , days ,weeks, years,century, millenium boyz the shit won't disapear , it's part of our history n most of the people out there don't give a fuck about that , they will see a show on tv talkin bout how bad it is , but the will be out the next 30 m n say " hey supp nigga how u been ... ya'll can't do shit fo this , sorry ;D

Trauma.. (i think its u who asked)

-
I'm mixed... Half White/Half Mexican ... blacks call me nigga and I do the same ... there is not hate... now I would not just go up to any random black guy and say it... you gotta be cool with them.... shit... that's how I learned the C-Walk and all the gang affiliation shit I do know... we were just cool and they trust me with it... if i were just a nobody ... they would have never opened up like that... you gotta be cool with the people
-Big BpG
-
actualy it ain't nigga but nigger or negro
my bad .. i ment "nigger" ... "negro" is a modifiation of "nigger", same with "nigga" -> they ´mean "slave" too
-
maybe fo negro but nigga his used by so many people now that we can say that mean supp :o
-
if a white dude came and said 'what up my nigga' id say what up star, then kick the shit outta the muthafucker.......basically, me n my black mates use 2 it 2 each other but thats cuz we black, and some who are half caste.......who usually cast themselves as black anyways, so its all gud
-
I got a question.........

lol
-
If a white guy says nigga, its aiight as long as I know them. Other than that hell nah.
-
If your a wigga just dont say it in front of black people you dont know because you could cause trouble that way
like I'm south american, and I got black friends, I've called some of them niggaz before and they dont care cuz I'm just joking around
-
my homies let me use nigga cuz its just like saying homie but in a diferent way. Im a Flip (filipino) and they always calling me nigga, and they cool when i say it, i think its a "color" thing. when white boys say it, its just funny, and kinda interesting to cee what happens when a blacc person hears it.
-
yeah some people take it personal but more of them just kool with it
-
my bad .. i ment "nigger" ... "negro" is a modifiation of "nigger", same with "nigga" -> they ´mean "slave" too
