Knowledge was dropped. Respect it.

[ekushhh]

Thank you. I have mad respect for you and what your speaking. Its tragic when you see all races tossing the word as if it has no history, its pure ignorance.

[AdrenalineAndLove]

So when black people say "What's up, my nigger?" it's not socially acceptable?

Keep it for historical purposes but not to say "C'mon you stupid black nigger" This is what I hear on the streets by youth of all colors. Not acceptable!

I said that no one should use it unless it is for dramatic arts that reflect on history.

[AdrenalineAndLove]

I'm white, and I find it very discriminating against my ethnicity that I am not allowed to use the N-word simply because I'm white, whilst other black people are allowed to use it, simply because they're black.

plus it reflect a fear in whites because they don't know how we will react if they say it with us or around us and beneth the surface whites are very fearful of us:guns,gated communities,miseducation anything to protected them from us taser black security in the store
