It's not an insult unless it's intended to be. It's just a word that has lost all its meaning. | ||

Like so many have said it's contextual and depends on who's saying it. I've never met you but if we ever met irl and you said hey nigger I'd feel odd about it. | ||

I feel that why black culture was willing to integrate the word nigger/nigga freely into modern day vocabulary was that in the past the meaning was so harsh that it was 100x worse than any curse word you could use. By using it freely it trivializes it and the strong meaning of the word can lose some of it's power. A word loses it's power through overuse. Gay could easily be a harsh derogatory word, but with today the way it is if someone said omg that's so gay, I wouldn't even think about it. It's not my intention to argue that nigger and gay are words people should thoughtlessly say as it pleases them. If someone was actually gay the overuse of such a word might bother them. Maybe they did this because subconsciously that's how that generation dealt with it. By turning a weapon into one used amongst brothers. | ||

Such as "What's up naz, had some jews for breakfast" or "Careful now, the naz is gonna slay some jews in anger" and stuff like that. Since you love jew jokes (may be offensive to people who aren't as lax about the whole thing!!!!) here is an all-time classic. + Show Spoiler + Why do jews have such big noses? Cos the air is FREE!!! LOL i love that joke. Some of my favorites (spoilered for you weak people.. I mean race sensitive people) + Show Spoiler + How did copper wire get invented? Two jews fighting over a penny. + Show Spoiler + What happens when a jew with a boner runs into a wall? He breaks his nose! This ones especially funny cuz I have a giant nose. + Show Spoiler + How do you fight 1000 jews in a volkswagen? 1 in the drivers seat, 999 in the ashtray. Seriously though, people need to grow up and get past shit that happened over 100 years ago. If YOU personally were a slave and got called nigger while your master was beating you, fine you can take offense to the word. But really, living in the past only exacerbates the problem and perpetuates racism. | ||

black people call each other niggas. it is used widely in their music. BUT THEN SOMEHOW whenever someone else uses it even though it is OBVIOUSLY not in an offensive way at all, black people like to get all hyped up and go all "EY WUT YOU SAY? WAT YOU JUS CALL ME?" it seems like a big portion of black people just get all excited because it's socially accepted for black people to get excited every god damn time someone that's not black uses the word nigger, which is absolute undiluted horsepiss. and i hate people feeding this bullshit, putting them on a pedestal and trying to edge their way around it and trying to be politically correct and all that shit. OMG IT WAS A HUNDRED YEARS AGO AND YOU DONT MEAN IT IN THAT WAY JESUS CHRIST NO ONE GIVES A FUCK. been hanging out a lot with the exchange students here from spain, italy, mexico, france, poland etc etc and they all use the word "nigger" when refering to a black person because that's what they are for them, but they use it in an absolutely non offensive way, and it makes things sooo much easier than saying ridiculous shit like "the black man" or "colored" or any other stupid term society has hammered into our skulls. it's a fucking word. no one means it in that way. get the fuck over it. | ||

FORSc2, have you ever said "That's so gay" around a gay person without them getting offended? It is quite rude. I say "that's gay" all the time, yet whenever Im around a gay person i know not to use it simply because it is rude and i'm stupid for using it in the first place. You are right though, overuse of a word kills off any meaning, Goodmorning, How are you? That's great, Nice to see you. Etc | ||
