@SixFowImpala It is not JUSTIFIED if black people use the N Word. In fact it is worse! We are perpetrators. There is no context in which one can use it! No inflections of your voice and legitimize it into any subculture.

When black people use the word "nigga" they have stripped it of it's negative meaning, when other races use it although they may mean it in the same way, they weren't verbally assaulted with it, so it doesn't hold the same history for them, other races cannot Interpret the bitterness, the hurt, the oppression that is at it's roots. It's just a word, we give it meaning.

I love this. & not just becuz I know everybody. But this was very well planned

I agree with what most of the people were saying,"Nobody should use it" but it kinda makes me mad when they say its justified if black people use it. The context of the word has defiantly changed but its roots come from slavery. It is offensive to me when black people use it because it reminds them that white people gave it to them, and i don't know about everyone else, but i am ashamed of what my Caucasian ancestors did.

dam i know all them people!!!!

I think that nobody should use this word. It was made as an offensive word, and so many people fought against that word. And now, people go around saying that word to their friends. It just doesn't seem right to me.

don't use the word, it's roots are as a degrading term for SLAVES. most of these students are right on the money.
