can you elaborate why if the word is that vile, why anyone would want to use it? Why would a black person want to use any variation of the word n*gger considering its history?

Anyone want to answer this?

Can you explain why they have to justify it to you........?

Obviously, to African Americans the connotations of the word has been changed and reclaimed to something of positivity.......

When white or other people say it, it's entirely not the same.

She shouldn't have said it but she's hardly a racist. I mean, her last three relationships weren't with white men and she has black children. Let's not go to far and call it racism and just see it for what it is, tasteless.

[MadonnasBoyfriend]

Yeah she's not even aiming it at the kids...

I'm black and I don't really feel much offended by that.That's not saying I speak for the whole race because I don't, but I recognize the context she's saying it in.I wouldn't recommend her saying it though, because of backlash like this.

I've seen much worse comments made by normal people.

I agree. I don't see what's the big problem? She just said #disnigga when lots of people our age say the exact same thing. What makes it that it's okay for them to say it and not Madonna?

When were gay people kept as personal slaves and suffer through physical and emotion pain by straight people with no backlash to the latter? Comparing f***** to n**** isn't a fair statement

Um. There is laws in Africa (Uganda for example) where gays are punished to death for being... Well, gay.
Nigeria also just passed JUST recently where gays can face up to 14 years in prison if caught having "gay sex"

This "ni**a" issue is only a problem in America becase we're so backwards and dramatic as a whole, both white and black, but for you to brush off what's STILL happening TODAY in AFRICA..IDK tho, maybe you were unaware.

I mean if gga is so offensive, even when used in an endearing manner, then don't make hit songs using that word point blank. You're only popularizing it amongst everyone, making it ok for anyone to listen and sing along to.

In my country black people literally do not give a single **** whether white people (or anyone) uses it. They refer to themselves as it, and so do we. Doesn't mean we're being racist. I'm definitely not a racist person. We don't mean no harm... I think Americans are overly dramatic and overly sensitive as usual. Do you really think Madge had the intention to be racist?? Like girl...

Are you a black person? Is it your culture? Are you forced to deal with the unnecessary discrimination and stigma that comes with the colour of your skin? No, so stfu. Speaking on a plight you'll never understand with your dumb ass. The audacity of you to speak on behalf of a race your not even a part of. Lmao.

Black people have taken a word meant to opress, and instead subverted the meaning to facilitate a sense of comradery and exclusivity. And her come the self entitled, so butt hurt that there's something in the world that's actually not for them. **** you.

It's just a freaking word
It would have been banished from everyone's vocabulary by now if it wasn't given this amount of attention. It's just lame.

And I'm well aware of its historical context so don't even try it.

Yeah, in fact nobody would even know who Martin Luther King was if we all just went around calling each other the N-word.

I can't even type it, let alone say it publicly without feeling a mix of cringe, awkwardness, douchieness and general moronic-ness :bilbio:

Why can't white people just accept that there is ONE word they can't say? Like white privilege literally allows them to do everything else in the world, MESS.............

Having any type of privilege isn't going to fix anything.. we need equality, so if that word makes people upset, people from both sides need to stop using it..

Sure black have history with the word, but that doesn't give the black from today the right to use it however they please.. if they want to bring past receipts, then they also need to understand that IT IS disrespectful to the people that fought against such terms!

What kind of classy and educated response? ATRL needs more members like this.

Ugh, who gives a ****? I'm white and say it all the time.

Sounds like you are truly tragic

YOU ARE ALL OVERREACTING, you all act and pretend to be offended, but its surprisingly ok for most of you to call Rihanna and ape among other things.
Really.

[I Am Music]

Not surprised at some of you and then you have the nerve to compare homophobia to racism just stop.
Only similar things about them is discrimination.

This will get closed because it is far off topic.

Race related threads are always a mess. Jesus

I'm very sorry about that.

I can't believe people like to act like it no longer happens this way.

[Bayonsay]

I actually can't right now. Y'all wont ever see the last of racism because y'all wont even let it go yourselves.
bye.
