I can't verify this youtube vid to be right since I don't have audio on this system, but I like to express my opinion with the following song, in which I would sing that word out loud as it is not meant within the context of the song to mean black people (in general).


Now that video may not work so well with the use of the word as a 'geuzennaam'.

I personally think the word has no place in my vocabulary. It's not funny, it's not creative, it's never appropriate, and there's no point.

Last week during lunch with some collegues, somehow the conversation went like how the robot we are currently developing could act as "black pete" during "sinterklaas" (which is not santa claus, but something alike, it's about an old white man whith a lot of black helpers who give gifts to children) Every year there is this shit about wether its racist or not that this white man has black helpers. Anyway, we said, if our robot could play black pete, than there would be no discussion.

Then we (about 8 people) topped each other off with nigger jokes for 5 minutes straight. I think there were like 20 jokes at least. Clearly there is something left oppressed. We felt all a little akward afterwards.

(no black people were present)

XD What would've made it even better if you just looked at them and said "What's up playa's?" XMFD

That song is anti-racist and you can easily hear it in the lyrics

I talked to the singer in Clawfinger (swedish band). They are quite awesome

Bah... Anything I try to come up with just comes out wrong, so I probably shouldn't get too deep into this discussion. Typed and deleted almost an essay worth of text by now.

Anyway, I don't think it's that much of a deal, and neither do my black friends. As long as it's not used in an obviously hateful sentence, that is. The word has different meanings depending on it; "zup niggah?" and "fuck you, nigger!" for examples. Just have some common sense on when and where you use it.
Gravity is just a theory anyway.

god you idiots saying "the n-word", its nigger, say it... nigger.

Racism has nothing to do with subsequent sounds forming a word, its just a world its harmless itself it is how it is used, if its used to denigrate a black person then its racist, if its not, then its harmless.

How so? Faggot originally had a different meaning, bunch of sticks and later cigarettes, and later useless person, so the claim is its an evolving word. Nigger's only change is when people started copying black people who called each other it, although the connotation softened.

People should be allowed to say it, and black people should be allowed to beat you down if they feel like it when they hear you say it, and if that happens you shouldn't be allowed to whine about it.

Agreed. This isn't harry potter, "he who must not be named" isn't going to come and kill your family if you say the "n word".

I listen to a lot of rap, and in those songs they say the word nigga a lot, and it's not used in a degenerative way so I don't consider it offensive. However, if I know people are around who might view it in a different light I would indeed self censor myself. My friends agree with me though so if it was just them, I would keep singing.

I censor myself unless its a tech n9ne song and it would take too many beats to actually drop the syllable

It always depends on the situation... if ur with a black dude then no. Wheres your common sense? But then if ur with white/asians and ur just having a good time only say it when your singing along..
