If you are in a car with some buddies and you are rapping along with whatever you have in the stereo, would you censor yourself when the word nigger/nigga/niggaaaaahh comes up in some form? Would you censor yourself if there was a black guy in the car?

I can't think of any concrete examples from my past experiences, but I think I would keep singing along as if it were any other curse word. I find it weird that someone could find it acceptable to repeat words like fuck, cunt, fucking cunt etc. but saying the n-word is crossing the line. I could see how someone could be offended, but I don't believe that they should be. Any thoughts or anecdotes on this scenario or on the n-word in general?

I would not rap/sing along if there was anyone else in the car. If I was alone and singing, I would not censor myself. ^^

why don't you ask permission first to the black dude in the car?
I don't think I've ever wished my opponent good luck prior to a game. When I play, I play to win. I hope every opponent I ever have is cursed with fucking terrible luck. I hope they're stuck playing underneath a stepladder with a black cat in attendance a

Say it all teh time, nobody gets offended in my group of friends. We even have some black friends and they dont mind since were all cool.
Why would you ever choose failure, when success is an option.

Most of my black friends are cool with me calling them my niggas, but I would not use the er word. And if you're not good enough friends with them to call them that, then don't use it.

lol.

Saying words like fuck cunt or fucking cunt probably wouldn't offend anyone in the car because they weren't adressed at them, or related to them in any way. But if a girl was in the car, they probably wouldn't like you using the word "cunt", because it relates to them in a way and they feel offended by that language. I understand why a black person would be offended if you said it, just because of how it used to be used >.<

I guess people who are friendly enough with you to drive in the same car as you won't suddenly start hating you. If they are offended, you can always say it wasn't meant as a personal attack and you were just singing along.

I would sing the N-world aloud and then have an akward situation.

It's ok to have akward situations.

I treat nigger like any cuss word. I feel like the racism with that word has died down among normal people. I doubt any black people actually feel insulted by their race when someone calls them a nigger. It's just an insult. I'm sure if you called some black guy a stupid faggot he would be equally as pissed.

lol it would be really stupid to sensor yourself if you are singing along to a song.
Even if there were niggers with you.

I agree with this.

I occasionally censor myself even if singing along on my own tho, just depends on if the lyrics work without it or not. Although this goes for more words than that, and just generally depends on how I feel I guess ;p

Do you live in salt lake city?

Race is still a huge deal in michigan (the south of the north) holy god. Some parts of the state I don't even like to think that the nword exists and other parts are like clan meetings ugh. That being said I don't say it derogatory (or often) but there are some terrible race issues tied with it.

imo stupid nigger would carry a lot more weight than stupid faggot. but if your point is the guy is probably going to want to brawl with you if you say either maliciously, then yeah i guess you are right.

I wouldn't be rapping to begin with, I'm too white for that. Hell I don't even sing along to any song I have, I'm not a singer.

I say it to be honest it doesnt bother most black people i know and whom i joke with by going up to "Whats up my nigga" etc.
I dont consider all black people niggers, just annoying people are what i consider "niggers"
