According to Search and Destroy lobbies, everyone is required to say it at all times.
Especially if someone minding their own business just happens to cough into their mic

Of all things, this is such a weird thing to lie about and have a meltdown over.

Then stop using it. It's unnecessary.
This is really the crux of the debate. I have never used the word in real life nor do I intend to. I think everybody in this thread has the good sense to be reasonable in their everyday life. It's the principle of the matter where black people can say it and non black people can't. And when I say can't, I mean there are social consequences for using it. I understand where it comes from but should we should examine whether it is worth continuing if we want to get to a point where we see no differences between races.
Either everyone say it or no one say it if we want to get past it
The crux of the debate is understanding reclaimed language.
I understand it. I'm just asking if it's helpful to continue it and where we go from here

You're right, races should continue to back off into their own corners but at least they'll have the word nigger

made it to anor londo. was scared to engage anyone and lose my 50k souls so i turned around and went all the way to blighttown to upgrade my pyromancer flame. the hike back is gonna be a pain.
Is Anor Londo really that bad?
The only thing really hard there is O&S and even then the fight is trivial with a lightening spear
I have no clue but I'm not allowed to spend souls on anything but pyromancy and weapon upgrades and idk what to expect in anor londo. I'm playing (somewhat) blind.
Wait
You're playing Dark Souls for the first time and you're doing a challenge run?
maybe
You absolute madman I respect that

"The blackies get to say it so why can't I say it hmmmmst've" could not be any more of a white entitlement temper tantrum.
Are you even here to discuss anything or just splurge
What exactly is there to discuss, pray tell? Either you're a racist who thinks it's acceptable for white people to say the word, however much you want to sugar coat it with bullshit rationale, or you aren't.
It's not exactly a conversation brimming with heated debate.
Well there is a word that perpetuates an us vs them situation when the goal is to not perpetuate an us vs them situation
Just on its face having a word one group can use and another group can't is inherently discriminatory but on the other hand, the group also has been oppressed for centuries so there is history behind the word
You accused me of boiling down an entire ethnicity to a single entity and here you are making this a binary argument with no nuance
What the fuck are you blathering on about? You literally just refuted your own case. Yeah, the word has history behind it. Hence why white people shouldn't be using it sans in very limited circumstances, i.e. in an acting performance.
Not everything has to have this super grey moral gradient to it. Sometimes things really are just unambiguous.
Alright let me break it down for you since you have the processing power of an ant
Racism is bad.
Racism means barriers between races.
The word nigger sets up barriers between races.
The use of the word nigger perpetuates barriers between races.
Barriers between races means racism.
The use of the word nigger perpetuates racism.
Nobody should use the word nigger honestly. But since we have this weird situation where black people use it (and have valid reasons for doing so), it's appropriate to have discussions about it that don't fall into the binary choice you set up
Lol, what barriers are being placed around you when black people use the n word exactly? If it's because you can't use the word within the parameters of a polite society as much as you'd like then you've really got nothing more to offer to the conversation other than your closeted racism.
I'm talking about the principle of the matter. In real life, of course I never used the word and I don't make a fuss when black people use it around me. I'm talking about race relations in America broadly. It seems we're drifting apart more than coming together. And drifting apart by choice unfortunately. I just think the circumstances around the word exacerbates that effect

Unless you're an actor in a performance piece that is designed to portray that kind of role, (which 99% of the population isn't) then no, there's not much context which justifies a white person to use the word.
How is a word inherently racist? It literally only has meaning because we ascribe meaning to it. If a person has absolutely no racist intentions when saying the word "nigger/nigga" then how does that mean that person hates black people or believes their race is superior?
If you have a group of friends of various races who all use the word "nigga" as a synonym for "dude" or "bro," how does a white person in that group doing the same thing a racist act?
I genuinely want to know your logic behind that belief.
what if, instead of racist, he just said "extremely impolite"
would that be a problem, or do you still want to say the word without being seen as impolite
I think there is a difference between impolite and racist. Impolite is like a minor transgression whereas racist means you're a bad human being with bad human values. It's a heavy implication to mark someone with and I don't think impolite carries the same connotation

This seems kinda hypocritical seeing how you said that people should rise above natural instincts and here you're saying people shouldn't question their emotional responses at all
when did i say they they shouldn't question them
That was the implication I got when you were refuting the point that people should teach themselves to not be offended
i don't think it's unreasonable to point out that not everybody has the time or patience to do whatever zen mumbo jumbo that chronic just loves to babble about
people should obviously be less sensitive, but to call it a "choice" is just extremely reductive and unfair
like, that's all i'm saying
That's fair. He started losing me with the zen stuff too. People can be offended but they should recognize that their emotional response comes from the views they hold. Sometimes it's not a bad thing to trace that emotional response and question whether your views need changing or not

There seems to be a weird double standard with “black” culture where if you bring up negative differences (higher crime rate, single motherhood, school dropout, etc), you’re racist but at the same time you’re expected to acknowledge and respect positive aspects of “black” culture (hip hop, civil rights movement, the use of the word nigga)
This is going straight into my "shit racists say who don't think they're racist" folder.
Kinda easy when you’re already assuming motivations
There's nothing to assume. You just reduced an entire ethnicities identity into one monolithic, inseparable entity by categorizing it as "black culture". Pretty racist if you ask me.
What exactly is "black culture" by the way? Is this including Caribbean culture? African culture? Black British culture? Or do you just think the hippety hop music and gang banging encapsulates everything.
Well first of all what I'm talking about is the culture in poor inner city communities. The reason I put black in quotation marks is because I don't think it has anything to do with race. It has to do with economic situation and location. However, many people associate these cultures with race which is why you see groups like black student associations on campus, NAACP, black churches, etc. You ask what black culture is and that's what I'm asking with my original post. These groups (especially black groups student associations on campus) pride themselves on their achievements and shared values. What I don't get is whose achievements they are gathering around. If it's the black community collectively, then why is it inappropriate to bring up downsides like the high violence, single motherhood, and poverty rates found in these communities? In short, I always thought we were suppose to view things in terms of race but then self proclaimed black groups started saying that difference between races should be acknowledged and embraced Also I am talking about African Americans, not black people all over the world
