Anyway, today I went to the library to study, and saw my roomie sitting at a table, so I walk over and said to him, in a very audible volume, "what up niggah" out of habit. About 20 heads turned my direction, two of them black. What happened afterwards could only be described as a very, very anguishing experience. Just one of those "don't do it" life lessons that might be quite helpful to know.    | ||

I felt slightly embarrassed, but I'll argue that "nigga" is like "dude" nowadays. | ||

I'm glad you're here to tell people what they should and shouldn't get upset over. | ||

 Edit: Pretty sure I started saying it cause of a boondogs episode, when a pimp or someone says it in a hysterical manner [which is how I always did it, mimicking whoever it was.] | ||

I also said, "Hey negro" to my friend when a black kid was standing next to him. Awkward... | ||

anyway, racist humor can be funny. some people ought to lighten up about it. on the other hand, people making the jokes should be sensitive to the fact that there are some legitimate reasons to hate that word | ||

Nigger is conditionally offensive word in that if the speaker is black it is not seen in a negative context but when spoken by pretty much anyone else, it is seen as a very offensive by most people. I think Americans in general are always afraid to step on toes but mostly because you see so many cases of Americans getting pissed off over what many of us may think as a trivial matter (and I'm a Korean-American) Personally I find it absurd that the word Nigger has become what it has, it really is the only word of it's kind that is conditionally offensive. I'm not ignorant of the fact that there are still racists out there who use the word hatefully (take Michael Richards for example). But I think people should look at the context before making it a conditional response to get all offended. If they don't want other people using the word they shouldn't use it to refer to other black people because it's hard to keep one word in such polarity in terms of it's positive/negative connotation. Does this mean you should go out and start calling all your friends niggers? Fuck no. Society may have come up with some silly rules but you just gotta (no not skate) play by the rules, cause seriously, you can live without saying nigger for the rest of your life. | ||

They just might be offended! Actually there is no positive connotation with gay faggot. As in no one calls their friends gay faggot in an endearing way. | ||
