    does this apply to g0*k, ,fa**t, r3tard, wetback, dyke, tr*-nny, spic and other derogatory words as well or just the N word?

    Obviously not. Have you ever been around black people?

    Those words are never used in a positive context.

    Amongst BLACK people.

    The word is racial.

    Which imo is kind of dumb.

    Obviously its offensive when used in an offensive context.

    But there is literally no difference in black people saying what up nigga to their black friends than white people saying the exact same thing to their white friends, which they do.

    Imagine asking a black user if they've ever been around black people

    what are the difference between those words and the N word fam

    the N word is still consistently used in a derogatory way and i’d argue it’s perhaps worse than a few other derogatory terms considering its history and use so by that alone i’d want a non black person to have the decency to not use it.

    sorry but other races should start using their own terms of endearment and start using it in their music and in their own culture.

    I am Black

    Gay people say fakkit all the time so that makes it ok for straight people to say it. Isn’t that how it works?

    Yes they are. If you hang around or listen to people from the LGBT community you will hear some of them calling their peers and even themselves f-gt and tr-y.

    Yet gay and transgender people get called these words as they're being killed or beaten. With some the logic you all are using, non-LGBT could start calling everyone fgts & trnys since they use it as a term of endearment.

    But is it ok to say it with an A during a concert? For example during Saint Pablo Tour, Kanye would have the crowd yell the N word during All Day and All Of The Lights.

    I've been around alot of gay people and never heard it. That's just my experience they make gay jokes and call themselves gay and I'll make gay jokes around them. Imo, it's about context. There's clearly a way to say things like that as a term of endearment and ways to say it in a negative context and as a way to intentionally hurt someone

    If you are unfamiliar with a person you shouldnt use any of those words.

    who cares if you group of friends is comfortable with you saying that. that doesn’t mean everyone has to accept it.

    I think context is the difference. The people I personally know dont use any of those in a "positive" way.

    I can understand nigga but with the er in the end being more offensive than alot of the others. I just think there's context for when and when not to say it. I dont think there's ever really a good time to use the n word with the hard er, especially if you're white unless it's in an educational atmosphere.

    It's a case by case issue. Some people are cool with it, some aren't. You shouldnt use any of those words around people you aren't familiar with and have a mutual understanding of what is and isnt okay.

    used to be one of those annoying white kids who thought saying it wasn't racist (still didn't say it much though)
    thankfully i've matured a s*** ton over the years and now i understand a lot more about the subtleties of race and s***.

    i think the main things these non-black kids are ignorant to is the fact that it's not an attack on them or equating them to a hardcore racist when black people tell them not to say it, it's literally just about being a decent person. it's literally akin to manners; same way you're supposed to say sorry if you bump into someone, same way you're not supposed to run up to random people on the street and start screaming profanities at them, don't say the n word if you aren't black. and if you do, then don't be surprised if people don't react well. it's as simple as that.

    I really respect this post. Its not that hard to understand.

    or you could grow up and realize there’s nothing cute about saying derogatory words you yourself would never be called. Doesn’t matter how many of your friends accept it, it doesn’t make it any less idiotic and cringe.
