Who can say N...the "N" word? vol. all you closet racist NTers contribute to the convo

Kinda crazy how Black people and culture influences others. As a Black guy I've never been influenced by another culture 

Heard some non-black people say it as if they're in the middle of a slave auction. It's every other word. Its a shame really

Bruh!

And the excuse of "I grew up around black people" [emoji]128514[/emoji][emoji]128514[/emoji][emoji]128514[/emoji][emoji]128514[/emoji]

I have two very close friends from the struggle who grew up around blacks who have never had the urge to call me a *****.

Mind blowing!
 
Mexican here. Don't use it.

I feel like that's not our word, almost as if non- Mexicans would say 'wey' :lol:
I think blacks should only say it. But younglins-teenagers abuse that word and don't use it correct.
 
How many times has this thread been made :lol: ?

Have y'all seen this recent video of a black student and the white teacher arguing over who is allowed to use it ?



My thing is, if you're not black, you don't get to have a say about who gets to use it. I find it crazy that someone can gather the audacity to police someone elses culture. Another problem is the cornball black dudes (and some women) who give passes to their non black peers. They let them take what they want out the culture, but when it's time to sound the alarm on injustuce and be an ally......silent.

exactly
 
Why do people even want to be able to say it? It's not like they're geeked to use other racial slurs in public.

I remember in high school, my white friend said the word in conversation loud enough for everyone to hear. No one in class even looked at him twice. Probably because he was always hanging with black kids. Surprised me that no one cared.

This is what I always wondered :lol:

Its never anything of substance and always some weak reason like feeling 'left out' by not being able to say it

I'm half Mexican half Guatemalan with some black ancestry.

 I don't use that word at all, even if they're in lyrics of my favorite rap songs I'll never recite it. Mexicans have ZERO right to use that word, growing up around black folks isn't reason enough to use it either. That's their word to use as a term of endearment  as only their families have endured that specific type of tragedy and injustice.

Only people that should be allowed to utter that word are black folk. Period. It doesn't matter what country they're born in.

I agree. Like I stated before I get on my students for saying it cause they don't like black kids at school but love saying it.

I'm hispanic and grew up with mothing but black friends. I'm sure I had "pass" but I've never had the urge to use it.

I've seen hispanic people use the word in front of black people all my life and have never seen anybody have a problem. I do think it's a little weird to use other people use it, regardless of you growing up with black people. The older you are, the funnier I look at you if you're not black and use it.


But not saying it when rapping along to a song? I'm saying it every single time. It's a song :lol:

I never had the urge. Growing up I was called it by my friends and their family so colloquially, in a setting I was comfortable in, I'd say it to greet homies.

I really don't. In person never. My wife (she's black) refers to me with "n" and I'm still "that ***** Vic" to all my black counter parts.

If you were hispanic I didn't care until I realized, like someone brought up earlier, you have groups of non-black people who use the word and yet look down on black people. That's when it started to bother me.

I never personally was cool with white dudes who said it but I knew some white dudes who got a pass to say it from others. Which I think is a slippery slope.

All this. Plenty of people love black culture but hate black people.

I wouldn't say I had the urge. I was just conditioned because that's all i was being called and that's what I related to

I'll be honest, you'd have to ask a person who grew up outside their race.

I didn't grow up around whites so I'm not sure how often they call each other crackers.

I thought they did though.

Honkey as well.
 
I didn't grow up around Mexicans but I don't ever hear them referring to themselves as *******s.

I hear 'chunt' , 'paisa' , 'guey'

I know some Jews say some self deprecating stuff, that clearly falls into that it's cool for them to say but no where near ok for others to say/use

I'm Dominican raised in NYC around Dominicans and blacks alike (although Dominicans are black ) and grew up saying it. Blacks friends let me rock but in college I spoke to this woke black homie and he put me on game on how not all black people rock with it. So I chilled. Try to never say it.

I put it like this, it's culturally ambiguous therefore you should be careful who you says it around. Be mindful, always.

all of this!
 
I do find it funny when ppl chose to be condescending awhile still being wishy-washy on the subject.

Feel like nobody should use it
