so why wouldn't you be offended then Somethings not adding up, how can you say that if someone said it to you it wouldn't bother you and you've learnt about the history of black slavery and how the words ****** and other derogatory terms were used back in the day.
This is a sad day people....

Is the N-word really THAT bad in US ? A lot of people (white and black) use it here in Belgium
btw, I'm black and I don't use it, but I don't care if someone call me like that.
The problem is people from other races think they can say it too because some blacks say it to eachother as another word for a "friend" or "homey". You hear it in these rap songs as well. Let's be real here. In my opinion, I don't think anyone should be saying it. It's a word to belittle blacks.

All of this. I will never understand why black people themselves use the N word so freely
I'm glad I'm not one of them.
I simply said Happy Martin Luther King, Jr. Day and moved along.
Some people think they are guarded behind their computers, but that doesn't mean that what you say isn't as stupid as it would be if you were talking to someone 1-on-1 or to a big group.
Not to mention that you'd likely get jumped for saying it depending on the crowd of people around you.

TBQH,That's exactly where people get the impression to use the word.The problem is Black people should not be overusing the word if they don't want to get offended.Somewhere along the lines,people are going to get the memo that use of the N word (***** in this case) is going to be cool.
