I get annoyed when a white guy says it depending on who he is. Just like your average guy is trying to sounds like someone he isn't which bothers me. He is intentionally saying it to sound "street" or cool. Where as someone who says it regularly and just uses it all the time I don't really have a problem with because they have made it part of their own dialect.

"People who care are the reason racism is still alive"

In a few years the "N" word will be just be a common part of vocabulary among everyone.


Yea and in a few years you're gonna see more people 6 feet under.

squintyzero wrote It irritates me so much (not trying to be racist or to generalize a group of people) when people say the N word thinking they're so cool and thinking they're allowed to say it. I'm okay with black people/rappers saying it but i honestly hate it when you have all these preppy (White,Asian)kids saying that word thinking they're cool and "street". I certainly don't use the word because it is a racist remark, but when teens who aren't even black go around saying it, I just get a- why are you living- type of feeling.

Im only posting this because of this double standard that exists in todays society which also makes no sense to me. In which i also have to contradict myself and question why its alright for some to say it and for some not to. But this is rant mainly on the people who do say it.

I dont care who you are and i honestly dont care if you say it or not, but this is just my opinion.

/rant

Edit: Don't post to hate, i don't intent to offend people.


I totally understand where your coming from, I don't overly agree with it but I'm not to bothered by it.

There was a previously negative connotation... but it became common among mostly black neighborhoods and it spread with a neutral connotation.

It doesn't really matter anymore.
