Lets discuss the "N" word to see why it can't be used today. Is it legal to do that? (Page 2): The term 'racist' has no racial connotations... It can be equally applied to all...

Calling someone a racist is the same as the n word! Should b against the law to cl anyone a racist. Course then libs wouldn’t have a vocabulary

Not comparable with the term 'nigger' at all..

How many times do I have to explain this? Liberals do NOT call people "racists." They call people raaaaaciiiiiists!

When you say the word, "Liberal', it's the same as saying the N word.

The N word has evolved.

It's now defined by behavior and not skin color.

Below is an example of the new faces of the N word.

First when a stupid racist faggot nigga calls the POTUS a "...bitch ass nigga..." posting it in social media, and other blacks don't immediately condemn him, then nigga must be okay for daily use.

Secondly, no word in the world should be "unusable" because it offends someone. Thirdly, .... Damn anyone who wants to control what I say, or what words I use to say it.

So what is an applicable time to use the word 'nigger?' I guess the question is what kind of humor requires the use of racially derogatory words to be funny?

I worked in an office where it was used a lot. It was never a slur more like when some men say "bro" or "brother". Whites and blacks used it and no one ever got offended.

Why are so many people offended at anything and everything these days?

Social media and instant communication..

Used to be we communicated directly... And paid attention to why something was being said... And gave people the benefit of the doubt...

Nowadays it's all about being triggered and labelling others...

Correct - in proper usage. Nigger is a pejorative and commonly used rudely against blacks, but also would describe anyone whose lot in life is to fetch and tote and serve others. Racist is also a pejorative, as it is used today, but it's also a statement of fact, NOT JUST a pejorative. For instance, saying David duke is a racist, or Louis Farrakhan is a racist may be a pejorative, but is also a statement of fact and may be used that simply, without the negative connotations. For instance, my gramps hated "those damned Eyetalians (sic)" but when I thought of him as racist back then is was more wonderment of why than a judgment.

That's why I do my Definitions posts...
It's pretty interesting how people define different terms...

Can't disagree with that.

I used to have a black partner in real estate, I’ll never forget her face when we closed a deal and I fistbumped her and said my nigga! She burst out laughing!!then said , u can’t say that! To which I said why not?

I'm going to make a wild guess and bet that as a person you were very fond of her, maybe even loved her as a friend.

Great video!! I like that guy! Thanks for sharing

That guy is so much like I think. When I stopped using "nigger", except with my black friend Joe I just couldn't bring myself to say all the things that preceded "African". I never saw Joe as a Black African since he had been born in Oregon and lived all his life there. I still can't call people born here anything like African American, etc.

He told the progressive story so very well and I agree with him completely. I don't see many black people in larger towns around here but there are so many of Mexican lineage and I don't even try to keep from calling them "Spics". By the same token I don't back off from "Guinea, Guinea, Wop Wop" when I see someone of Italian language. That is what we called them in Italy, largely because they just couldn't understand hitting with a fist when they always wanted to slap with an open hand.

That guy tells it all as it belongs especially when he brings up, Progressive.

In the small city we used to go to the movies in the 40s and 50s people with colored skin (all blacks of today) had to sit in one little area with about 40 seats. This lasted a long time but about 1950 a black kid became the really important member of the high school football team. He was allowed to sit anywhere he wanted, and he did it with impunity. I had to ask many of those others, who we all called niggers,
why they continued to associate with him at school. I never did figure out that one.

My dad used that term all the time and I think I picked it up from him. He was one of those who hated Jackie Robinson for playing baseball with the Dodgers because as he said, "They have their own leagues and shouldn't want to play with white men. Not many years after Robinson started playing many other black men were playing in the majors and "the old man" seemed to forget that they were out of their league. Hey, he and many of his friends always went to Negro League games, when they could. I sure never did understand that.

It is the progressives that are the cause of that.
