baph Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 What a coincidence! Just as I was reading this thread, "Qtio" by Brothomstates came up on Shuffle. It has the N word in it. I find it peculiar how the N word is so horribly offensive to black people, yet words like "honkie" and "cracker" are supposed to be the equivalent words towards white people yet they have considerably less impact. There needs to be a word that offends white people as much as the N word, don't you think? That's because there's not a centuries-long historical record of black people oppressing white people, or of white people being thought of/legally treated as sub-human. Jesus. This shit didn't just evolve in some vacuum/childhood playground. That's why, you know, if you call some poor gay dude a fag, they can't come around and call you a breeder or somatt with the same force. It's a lot harder to fucking demean someone or take away their humanity when that person is seen as emblematic of the status quo / hegemony, and has all of the force of perceived hegemonic "rightness" on their side. That's how this works. It's not like, Jenny called me a cootie queen, oooh, she's a lint licker then everyone has a good cry over it and then it's even. edit: you filthy papist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marf Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 I think it mostly has to do with blacks in America not being able to accept their lack of contribution to society. When they hear that word, they project their own insecurities on to whomever said it, and perpetuates the cycle. It's an observation that becomes blaringly obvious living in Richmond.. I can tell you that. Some of the more ignorant types think we had African slaves because we didn't like Africans.. when it was simply the way the world worked back then (especially Africa). I'm moving to Richmond. There is some serious racial overlap in that town. My sister lives there. I visit all the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capsaicin Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 "Nigger" is rarely acceptable in normal conversation "Nigga" is fairly well received under correct circumstances in normal conversation Nas said "nigga" in the song I was listening to right when I posted.

Guest hahathhat Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Joking aside, I dj funk & soul every other week, and there was one week where a black girl asked me to stop playing negro music because it offended her as a white woman. Long story short, I ended up in her bed that night. I'm an equal opportunist. ive long thought that this is the path to true racial understanding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awesomeperson Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 It's important to some that "nigger" doesn't lose it's power, it serves a lot of interests in the US, specially political of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takeshi Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 It always helps if you understand that the same skin color doesn't always equal the same perspective. I personally don't use the word but I would never tell anyone they don't have the right to use it. Then again, if you think there aren't any situations where your environment and/or company play a part in how you behave you're either naive or a sociopath. I can call my friend a cunt and he'll laugh and not be a bit offended but I can't and don't expect the same reaction when I go out into the world.

I've mentioned this elsewhere but I had some Indian friends in college and well, as if nigger wasn't offensive enough, people of South Asian/Middle Eastern descent get called "sand niggers". We conjugated it to snigger, snig, snigga my jigga and sniggeru as an affectionate suffix in Hindi. We got a huge kick out of it. However, I would never presume to approach the lone Indian girl in my class and say "whaddup snigga?!" today. i think it goes without saying the names that you call your friends, you wouldn't call a stranger. i don't think race has anything to do with that.

tontonz1 Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 in 4th grade I said to one of my black girl-friends "whatsup my niggaaa", because i heard my sister say it on th phone to her friends, so i thought "nigga" meant "cool friend" and i got in trouble for saying nigga. So I had to write her a letter of apology for saying "cool friend". she still hasn't accepted that apology to this day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
