they get pissed because they're PC nutjobs, and can't handle even the lightest of "racial" or "offensive" language.

No, the word nigger is just a word with no inherent meaning. It's the intention behind using the word and the meaning derived from it that can either be racist or not.

Actually the meaning of nigger is lazy person, apparently. Which would explain why people racist toward African Americans would say that since they thought African Americans were stupid/lazy.

Like, seriously, it's just another word for "bro", or "friend". People on this forum always tell me "well go say that to a black guy and see what happens l0L", but I always say that word to my black friends, and they say it back to me. Pretty much everyone at my school uses it to each other, and no one except for white adults has a problem with it. Even the black teachers at my school don't give a fuck when someone uses it.

This has led me to believe that people on this forum, and stingy white people in general, are trying to "protect" black people by getting butthurt over that word, when most blacks don't even care. Now that's racism in and of itself.

Who agrees?

What are you, 12? The word nigga was used by African Americans  to identify with each other during the times of heavy racism in the US afte being called nigg(er). It was like a brotherhood thing,  hard to explain.And you shouldn't say it to anyone, that's like going up to a white person and saying. "What's up my crackah" even if the two white guys are calling each other that. The word nigga was derived from the same hateful word
used against  African Americans. And anyone who uses the word nigga is stupid. Because if you truly knew how much of a hateful word it was you wouldn't use it at all.

You will find out who you are not a thousand times, before you ever discover who you are. I hope you find peace in yourself and learn to love instead of hate.
I don't use it at all. Some are offended by it some aren't, I just don't use it all because there really is no point.

If I'm not here, I'm doing photography. Or I'm asleep. Or in lockdown. One of those three, anyway.

The current titlebar/avatar setup is just normal.
2 centuries ago? What rock do you live under? Segregation was around until fairly recently, and you still have extremely racist people today who say that word.


I only meant slavery. Of course there was still the South African Apartheid in the 80's (and obviously it had been bubbling away for decades before), and plenty of racism today, but certainly a lot less where in the 18th century a black man would be considered a product or a workhorse rather than a person in most developed countries.

The meaning of any word can be a host of different things, depending on how you take it.
