re: White kids calling each other the N word

It is amazing to me the power people let singular words have over them.

Back in the day (25+ years ago), it was a derogatory word that was used quite regularly by whites toward blacks as an insult. The blacks hated it, and it was pretty much accepted among the whites as being a very much racist, ugly, and accepted word to use out of anger.

Fast forward to today, where that is not the same. We have grown as a society to see that word as unacceptable to use. At least in my circles. Maybe not so much in rural trailer park society. As far as I'm concerned, that word is a cuss word. It is worse than a cuss word, because it could get you fired. My kids are taught that it is never to be spoken. And I'm fine with that, really. I think it's good for society, if we are to evolve in human rights. It's taking five steps forward to see it that way.

However, to be so stupid as to say it's ok to use in an endearing way just because it's said by a black person rather than a white person or a white person to a black person where both parties agree that it's ok - completely makes us take three steps backward on the above notion.

Better make sure they’re not Mexican before you break out the pellet gun.

This is your typical white TPOS trash that uses the “N” word. Poor, uneducated, and ignorant.

I was playing basketball with some black kids during PE back in highschool. We were all cool with each other. My tongue slipped and I accidentally referred to one of my friends as n**ga. They had been throwing the phrase around so it just rubbed off on me. We never missed a lick on the court. IDK if they didn't hear me or it didn't bother them, but I never said it again.

My east tx blonde blue eyed ex-gf would call me a "ngr" when I wouldnt give her a bite of my food or let her steal my fries. I would tell her the same for wanting to mouching off my better order. It was cute and fun.

I'll allow it.

I speak with the Kings English in my professional career but when I get home I flip to gangsta dad mode and use all of the culcha slang to talk to my kids and their friends. I usually preface any direction with n$$ga. Like yesterday when my 8 year old daughter was jumping on our neighbors trampoline with their daughter. I walked to the property line and said to her “n$$ga, if you hungry, you need to come on and eat.” I say it all the time to my 12 year old son. “Hey n$$ga, you taken that improved cylinder choke tube out yet and drizopped in that skeet choke? Don’t be playin n$$ga! You have a competition in Savannah tomorrow. Don’t be a bust arse n$$ga. Ya feeling me?”

Kids love it and it makes me cool in all of their eyes.

Do white people while at home let loose referring to blacks as N-s?

Blacks, no. N-s, yeah.

Good people are good people. Regardless of color.

If you're black, you have seen racism until you see a middle class white guy going off on sister fricking meth making white trash.

I think anybody that uses it is trashy and it doesn’t matter their skin color. A non-black using it is extra extra trashy though.
