re: Why can blacks call each other the "n" word but others can't?

This is a dumb thread. Y'all are talking about two completely different words, with two completely different meanings.
The first syllable in both words are the same: "nig-".
It's the second syllable that makes all the difference. In one word, the second syllable, "-ger", is defined as a contemptuous term for a black person.
In the other word, the second syllable, "-ga", is defined as " a close and loyal friend," in urban black culture.
Tupac defined the difference this way: -ger = "A black man with a slave chain around his neck."
-ga = "A black man with a gold chain around his neck."

To be fair, if I (I’m white/Jewish) call another white person a cracker, or a fellow jew a kike, there probably isn’t much fall out.
If a black person uses those same terms, it’s perceived as much more serious.

Doesn't make sense if blacks are THAT sensitive about it. If they don't want it used then don't use it themselves. Just saying.
There are black posters on this board. I suggest you begin to address them using the N word and see what happens. Surely the owner of this board is not politically correct. Or is he?

I don't know if that's true or not or 100 times more powerful than what, but I didn't say anything about actual outcome. Just someone's theoretical intent and/or motivation.
