If black people are allowed to use it, then white people should also. Say the N word doesn't have the same connotation it had 50 years ago. If they're not using it to be racist, then I don't see any reason not to.
I've always wondered, how do older African Americans who actually lived during the Civil Rights Movement feel about the colloquial "revival" of this word?
The mentality is so different in the US (better ?)
They use it on a daily basis (even teachers) here and black people, like me, don't give a F anymore. It became something "normal"
It all depends on the ending stem of the word tbh "er" vs "uh" or "ah". The connotations are extremely different. I've always wondered if Obama says the N word though
To allow black people to say anything white people can't is racist.
No.
And there's tons of stuff white people do that a lot of blacks don't participate in. Blacks nor any other non white group has been able to have a "word" or "form of art" just in their own group of people so miss me with that mess.

The only thing I can compare it to is straight people using f*ggot/f*g/poof/gay etc. around me, which I don't like. Even if they're not intending to be offensive, I don't think it's up to them to determine what is and isn't offensive to others. Likewise, it's not up to me (or even some black people who don't mind) to determine whether a white person using the n word is or isn't offensive.
I don't find it necessary to use slurs like n*gger/ch*nk/p*ki, anyway.
I mean i don't understand why Blacks have such a HUGE problem when a white person says it. I mean if it is not in a rude way what 's wrong with it. Like its a word which is linked to a huge historical problem decades ago, but the meaning of the word has changed. If whites arent allowed to say it then why are blacks. Sometimes it almost seems like white people are guilty of what their ancestors did.
