I’m working next to three black people right now and literally every third word they say to each other is “nigga”

I’ve never had one of them say it to me before, but with each other it’s all they say.

Yet they go apeshit when someone of non-black heritage says it. Something tells me the word still powerful enough.

The real answer is that media conditioning taught them to create peer group reinforcement of this behavior.

Interestingly, you never hear Asians refer to each other in slurs, nor Mexicans (Latinx?), or even white folks. Nope, only race that refers to each other in slurs is blacks, I just think they are insulting themselves to remain a victim.

Well that’s just because everybody is stupid. Some people are just less stupid than others.

Honkey, what? I definitely use honkey for my white friends as much as possible.

This is simply not true. Been around Asians for many years. I always found it curious why they self-deprecate so often. In my opinion it’s for non-asian’s benefit. If you are around a group of college age Chinese, Korean, or Vietnamese they will at some point make a joke regarding their eyes or about being unexciting or not meeting some high standard. Granted they wouldn’t call themselves chink or something but they will use more light-weight slurs or stereotype references.

I am Asian, and I have never heard any of my family, relatives or friends use words like "chink" or "gook" when referring to each other. Now as far as jokes go, Asians don't really care about jokes, pee pee in your coke.

Certainly not on any level as blacks calling each other nigga. I have Chinese relatives and they do talk about their yellow skin which is something I never really saw but they are deadset on referring to their yellow complexion as not as nice as my pale ass. All the woman have also had the eye surgery. You’re right though all my Asian friends never were using slurs they just embraced the silliest of stereotypes and made them into jokes.

I'm going to do this w "racist". I'll start using it like Smurf.

Also, like "Deplorable," who can use it and who can't matters-- only the group appropriating the term is can use it to refer to themselves. Anyone else using it is taken as an insult.

Years ago, when there was still a modicum of sanity, I remember Season One Luke Cage reprimanding a young black thug who dared to call him that word. He gave him a history lesson about the Boston Massacre, and what it means to be an American. I was like "Damn right, Luke! Spread the truth!"

Then, somehow, by season 2, Luke is punching holes in walls, scaring his girlfriend, and saying "Sometimes you gots to lean into it, and become the Nigga that they say you is." Made me very, very sad. Somehow, it was more racist to have a black superhero who respects the police (though he himself was set up by dirty cops when he WAS a cop,) and who protects women and teaches children, than it is to turn him into any and all negative stereotypes you could imagine.

I swear, Time Travel needs to be a thing. At least to let me go to a timeline where people still know how to act and think.

The blacks keep the N-word alive so that it will remind everyone of the days they were enslaved by the Democrats.

"Nigga" comes from "nigga" which comes from "niggardly" which means "stingy or not generous".

They are simply using an accurate descriptive term and self identifying with it without realizing it.

It’s stupid and they are hypocrites for yelling it constantly then freaking out at white people for saying it by mistake. How about leave it in the past where slavery is? It’s an ugly word

Why is it we’re having a decent conversation about racial linguistics and you gotta go full racist? Are you an edgy retard or something?

NIGGA is not some fancy version of Ni$$er. It is an acronym. I am still uncomfortable with it and my black friends don't use it, but the acronym is

NIGGA Never Ignorant Getting Goals Accomplished

becky21k1 6 points ago +6 / -0

It can't possibly mean that, that's the total and complete opposite of the people using it

001wickedwolf 1 point ago +1 / -0

Like I said to the last person, trying asking an actual black person. Try asking a younger one. They seem to use it most. My friend's children use it and explained it. I am not going to do anyone's research for them. We all have search engines and to the best of my knowledge black friends.

becky21k1 1 point ago +1 / -0

LMAO that's just some bullshit they laid out to fool old Y-T (you) with. Because just using it in the first place means always ignorant, and what goals do they ever accomplish?

A realist? Trust me if whatever it is you believe is true, 50% wouldn't be arrested at least once by age 23, they wouldn't be 56% of homicides in 2019, etc etc etc, cities and nations they run wouldn't be utter dumps....

Right, this is why I don't usually argue with the morons who repeat stuff like that acronym you're claiming is a thing.

Every statistic I noted there can be backed up directly with a source. Unlike leftists and the people that word applies to, I don't make things up.

YES. Get off the playground and do a little research. Ask (GASP!!!!) an actual black person, preferable one with older kids. Uninformed people who try to argue points they know nothing about make me cringe.
