god damn i just finished typing this whole thing out then accidentally hit the back button...fuck here goes again:

 

about a week ago my brother said the n word in the presence of me, my white friend, and his black gf. it was directed towards me ("what's up, nig?") and he didn't realize that there was a black person in the room at the time. my brother is 16 years old and thinks it is hilarious to shout things like "niggerpussy" at other players on the xbox. so when he realized what had happened, he didn't apologize, only laughed. i don't think he realizes that most (am i correct here?) people still find the n word offensive (i still do). well they were understandably upset but didn't say anything, just left the house and i was extremely embarrassed.

 

the next morning i made that little fucker call her and apologize, and i apologized as well. she and i are still fairly close friends. but her boyfriend is still upset with me and not my brother, which i cannot explain. i tried calling him about 6 or 7 times, and he never picked up the phone. when i saw him in person two nights ago and asked to speak with him in private, his response was in essence: "i can't talk to you in private because i can't be alone with a gay person" (i'm bisexual)

 

i know he's joking but i still take offense at shit like that..i can remember him telling me after i hooked up with a friend "you gotta get that taste off your breath".

 

maybe i won't get sympathy here but thought i'd put it out there

 

yeah, see, your buddy is a hypocrite and an asshole. he says comments like that in order to make you feel ashamed about the way you were born. your little brother is just immature. his use of the word nigger was not to marginalize, it was slang. who's really the bad person in this bunch? who is really the bigot here? it's really not fair.

 

 

Words have meaning - if they didn't they would be useless. This word has a particular meaning, which implies that the person it is directed toward is sub-human. Ignorance of the meaning of the word is acceptable - once. To be frank, it's pretty hard to see how a person in America cold not know of the meaning of this word.

 

 

I think you're stereotyping. I really don't think all people find "the ni word" offensive. 50CENT and his ballers have made this word totally acceptable, as long as its being used as casually as "dude," because then there's no like "omg" energy behind it.

 

 

Do you live in the US? Then go up to any black guy and say "What's up nigger." Please youtube for extra lulz.

 

because it could be implied as mocking. if it's between friends and used like the word "dude," i don't see the problem.

 

and also, you don't go up to people and say, "what's up dude/son/bro/dog." you don't, unless you know the person. nigger.

 

edit: excuse me, canadian, not nigger.

Yeah and then go up to mean looking lesbian and call her a fat dyke cunt, then go up to a nazi and call him a faggoty nigger-kyke, also document it so i can keep living under the approval of people who can threaten me with physical violence

who said anything about physical violence? could just be a heated confrontation followed by a severe verbal dressing-down. in fact, most of the similar situations i've seen have ended like that. you'd be surprised what shame does to people.

 

A good yardstick of how far we've come is how completely ridiculous and out-of-touch Jesse Jackson seems now.

yeah, definitely.

 

edit: though i will say that a lot of his ridiculousness is media bias. i used to listen to his radio show, it was top notch and not at all race baiting.

No one, but it's assumed these days that a black guy will rough you over for sayin such things in his presence, and was essentially what chengod was getting at (can you hear him already preparing his contrarian post?), and it irritates me that people will censor themselves for fear of offending those who can hurt them. It's one thing to hold your tongue out of politeness, respect, but another to refrain because of some linguistic territorial bullshit.

that is in fact exactly what i meant - and the point was not to censor out of fear, rather to show that the word still causes offense to black people - I'll let Murs illustrate it for me:

 

Any white boy who thinks he knows my struggle

Cause he listens to Pac and his adrenaline doubles

Now I ain't got problems with you being yourself

But when you front and use the N word, it just don't help

I might not trip, and your friends'll laugh at you

But I know some real niggaz that'll straight up slap you

Now you could be down, but let's act growed up

Cause we ain't the same color when police show up

Nigger is a funny word because it's retarded. I can barely fathom that anybody would call someone a nigger, and actually mean it in a serious demeaning way. Any demeaning word is retarded. But people are kind of retarded, so it's best we leave those words be.

i heard something fucking classic today at work.

 

this one dude was fucking around and within the context of the joke he was calling himself god and that he's black (he's asian but with pretty dark skin)

 

and this other dude who is a total square, 24yr old virgin with this monotone annoying voice among many other things, out of no where said "if god was black, i'd probably kill myself."

 

i let out a cry of disbelief and i was lost for words, it was fucking classic, typical fucking christian shit.
