No one should want to say the word nigga in any connotation.

All words are allowed. If you get offended that's your problem. Subsequently, if you get your ass beat that's your problem.

    Rappers are often racist! It's not okay for them to say it, but they embrace the counter-culture aspect of the language.

    [–]andrewasdf 7 ポイント8 ポイント  (16子コメント)

    That's the definition of racism, you blockhead. You're giving somebody special treatment just based on the grounds that they have a different skin color.

    I don't mind it at all, because there's nothing disparaging about it. It's just an affectionate term like "dude" or "bro".

    [–]TheSonofMrGreenGenes 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (3子コメント)

    No it isn't racist. You're not prejudicing anybody, you're just saying some people don't have the right to assume ownership of a term historically used to degrade blacks?

    Unless you think we should be reclaiming porch-monkey too.

    Jesus Christ, Reddit sometimes...

    [–]Am_ 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (2子コメント)

    "Nigga" in this context is not and never was used to degrade blacks, and can be said by anyone. The word "nigger" is the one you are referring to, and that NO one should say in its original context, regardless of color.

    [–]TheSonofMrGreenGenes 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (1子コメント)

    Nigga and nigger are the same goddamn word one is just Ebonics.

    [–]Am_ 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

    Exactly, it is just Ebonics. But they have entirely different uses as words in today's society. And even then....

    http://youtu.be/tYYBJ8XRdh4

    ...they are just words. As long as they are not said with malicious intent there is no reason to take offense solely at the sayer's race or skin color.

    It started as a term of endearment and hardness in the face of oppression. But when a white person says it, it's still offensive due to years of oppression and racism.

    [–]JubJubMaster 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (1子コメント)

    But why can't a white person use it as a term of endearment too?

    [–]Stepoo 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (6子コメント)

    So are you saying that he's not allowed to do something that others are allowed to because of the colour of his skin?

    That sounds pretty racist to me.

    [–]dkstheo -3 ポイント-2 ポイント  (5子コメント)

    That IS racism. There's no such thing as reverse racism, just racism.

    [–]BladeRunnerDMC -5 ポイント-4 ポイント  (4子コメント)

    No that's at best prejudice not racism. Blacks don't have the system and instutional backings that whites do. So by definition a black cannot be racist. They can though be prejudice. There's no such thing as reverse racism.

    [–]StellarNeonJellyfish 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (3子コメント)

    Racial prejudice.

    [–]serenity_suppository -4 ポイント-3 ポイント  (2子コメント)

    then it becomes a dispute over dictionary definitions wherein "racism" doesn't actually mean "racial prejudice" because the definition was written by white people as part of an institution to equalize unbalanced actions.

    But then when a new term was invented for it, "reverse racism", it's rejected because it includes racism in it.

    So the answer is that racial prejudice exists and that racism exists, but racism carries the connotation of being perpetrated by a dominant group, so only whites can be racist, but all other ethnicities can be racially prejudiced.

    [–]StellarNeonJellyfish 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (1子コメント)

    the definition was written by white people as part of an institution to equalize unbalanced actions.

    I would like you to expand on this point if you could.

    As for your point on reverse racism, it's just a matter of words. You may want to consider that these connotations you speak of are not shared by everyone. Keeping that in mind, reverse racism would at best be a subset of racism, not actually an alternate form prejudice.

    Now, it could be argued that reverse racism isn't as harmful, or perhaps that what you meant when you mentioned equalizing unbalanced actions, but it should be easy to see that this is inherently counter productive to eliminating inequality and racism.

    [–]serenity_suppository 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

    I would like you to expand on this point if you could.

    Essentially, the institution of dictionary definition makers can be considered part of the patriarchal system by not differentiating between racial prejudice by a group oppressed by the majority, and racial prejudice by a group not oppressed by the majority.

    I think it's an interesting point, but i have my reservations on different people using definitions the way it suits them.

    As for your point on reverse racism, it's just a matter of words.

    Exactly.

    You may want to consider that these connotations you speak of are not shared by everyone.

    Nonono, you misunderstand me, i'm conveying information found elsewhere by numerous people. I'm on the fence about the issue because these connotations aren't held by everyone.

    Muddying the waters obscures discourse; i think racism as a word shouldn't be "taken away", I think a new word like "primaracism" that applies to the leading oppressing group could be applied to keep things simple, for example.

    Personally, I don't even think that should be done, but i'm into finding some sort of common ground here.

    Keeping that in mind, reverse racism would at best be a subset of racism, not actually an alternate form prejudice.

    At the risk of sounding like a concern troll; i'm as opposed to the idea of watering down racism by oppressed minority groups as I am to doing the same or opposite for the oppressive group.

    I've always differentiated by using the term "institutional racism" when talking about systemic oppression, and "racism" when talking about individual racial prejudice.

    it should be easy to see that this is inherently counter productive to eliminating inequality and racism.

    indeed. I'm with you 100%

    [–]Im_Perd_Hapley 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

    That's simply not true though. It's not about the skin color of who's saying it, it's about whether or not saying it will offend the person you're saying it to. I have black friends who are offended by it whether or not it is said by a white person or a black person, and I have black friends who aren't offended by it regardless of who says it. It really all just comes down to the individual. But who knows, maybe I just have extremely rational black friends?

    Rule # 1 here: We're all black.

    This means I'm black, so I can say nigga. No?

    [–]ScoobyDooSX 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (20子コメント)

    I never understood the whole " he can say it, why can't I?" argument. Like why do you want to be able to say it so bad?

    [–]MowwMoww 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (3子コメント)

    Because it is a word that rolls off the tongue and can be used in so many different ways. It would be a fantastic word if it didn't have so much negative history. Just replace "dude" with "nigga" and it changes everything.

    [–]BladeRunnerDMC 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

    It wouldn't even be a word had white people not used it. It means "Black Death" if you wanted to know by the way. So no it wouldn't be the same as "dude".

    [–]kornforpie -5 ポイント-4 ポイント  (1子コメント)

    I wish so badly that the word "gelatin" was used instead of the n-word.

    The n-word just flows off the tongue so well, it sounds great. And terrible. But also great.

    Because white boys really wanna call you a nigger to your face without worrying about reprisal, like back in the good ol' days. that way, they can be blatantly racist to your face under the facade of "its cool bro"

    [–]poopbutt734 -2 ポイント-1 ポイント  (2子コメント)

    Im sorry if those around you are looking to oppress you. (Id wager you should distance yourself from these types) but as a white guy I gotta tell you, I aint trying to oppress shit.

    Edit: ok if its an institutional thing you cant really seperate yourself from it, I get that. Im just tired of people saying my ancestors were slave owners cause they werent. My grandparents were cotton pickers in soviet Uzbekistan.

    [–]Pancakewagon26 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

    Sure your grandparents may have been cotton puckers in Uzbekistan, but you don't experience racism because of that.

    I love you assholes but, it's 2014, y'all. How is race issues still a thing?! If someone had enough money they could buy a ticket to space, we can print shoes, order delivery food from any culture, and have all the worlds information in a small device in our pockets! That's astounding! Anyone who gives a shit about anyone's race/religion/sex is just board and enjoys drama. Now, STFU and drink. Its labor day weekend. First round is on me.

    Segregation ended officially with Brown v. Board only 60 years ago, though it effectively persisted in many areas through the 70s.

    There are what essentially boils down to race riots going on today in Ferguson, MO.

    Do you really think race doesn't matter anymore? Are we somehow living in a post racial society?

    [–]knickerbockers 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

    Anyone who gives a shit about anyone's race/religion/sex is just board and enjoys drama.

    Or... they're interested in a person? Seriously, why is it that so many people talk about these things as though they shouldn't affect you? Your race/religion/sex are arguably three of your biggest, most defining attributes. Talk about that shit all you want, just don't disparage anyone else's.
