I Don't Understand ???

scream like a grrl: Nigga

samclamz:

I will never understand this.

You have people of color going around saying nigga all the time, right? Ok, no biggie. Because, y’know, “nigga” is a thousand miles different from saying “nigger.” There are members of the black community who believe saying nigga is no big deal and…

If it’s a term of endearment, then why not allow white people to also say the nigga? I simply do not think that it’s fair for people to get up in arms when a white person says it.

I believe you missed my point entirely. I did not say, “if white people can’t, no one can.” I meant, if one is going to make a big deal over white people saying nigga, it is only fair to make a big deal when anyone else says it, too. How is it okay for us and not them? That’s just creating more social barriers; barriers that we’re trying to pull down. If this word is going to continue to be used by society, we should be able to accept anyone who says it. It should be as if we are blind to the color of a person’s skin when nigga is uttered. Again, if it’s too big of an issue, we should stop using the word nigga.
