Blacks are allowed to use the word......Whites are notWhen are they going to tell blacks and rappers to stop using the "N" word?

Let's take your first statement..."Blacks are allowed to use the word....Whites are not". Who says?Blacks are allowed to use the word......Whites are notWhen are they going to tell blacks and rappers to stop using the "N" word?
San Francisco Democrat under fire for repeated use of N-word during committee meeting
Chris Rock described it best
Two fat girls can joke about how fat they are......but if a skinny girl does it, it is just plain mean
Two poor people can joke about how poor they are.....but if a rich person does it, it is just plain mean
Same goes for using the N Word

Alito was using the word as examples of what NOT to do/accept. I can't believe a group of African Americans were saying she did anything wrong, using it in the context she did. She is AGAINST the n- word. That's totally clear."What white people have to do is try and find out in their own hearts why it was necessary to have a ‘nig-ger’ in the first place, because I’m not a nig-ger, I’m a man. But if you think I’m a nig-ger, it means you need him. The question you’ve got to ask yourself, is, if you invented him, you the white people invented him, then you’ve got to find out why. And the future of the country depends on that, whether or not it is able to ask that question.”
James Baldwin
I don’t know what has entered the minds of some white Americans. For some reason they have given themselves permission to believe they have the right to use the n word. The rationale for this is, “listen to the rappers, you guys use the word among yourselves so it apparently won’t offend you when whites do it.” Let me say to whites that at one time the opinon was that the moon was made of cheese. Certainly you have freedom of speech and you CAN hold that conversation with a black and use the word at your leisure. But if you are white and you desire so much to use this word to describe us, it’s best you reserve it’s use for conversations only among whites.
Why do whites think they have this right? Everything has a history and so does the n word. The purposeful way a part of the white culture chooses to forget and even deny history is sickening. For those who are white and think it is just a harmless and endearing word when whites use it, let us do a small review of the history and usage of the n word by whites in America. After all, if there has ever been a time where whites used the word and it meant something complimentary, I really need to know. Because I my more than 58 years of living I have yet to hear that example.
“There is a direct and strong link between the word ****** and anti-black caricatures. Although ****** has been used to refer to any person of known African ancestry.2 it is usually directed against blacks who supposedly have certain negative characteristics. The Coon caricature, for example, portrays black men as lazy, ignorant, and obsessively self-indulgent; these are also traits historically represented by the word ******. The Brute caricature depicts black men as angry, physically strong, animalistic, and prone to wanton violence. This depiction is also implied in the word ******. The Tom and Mammy caricatures are often portrayed as kind, loving "friends" of whites. They are also presented as intellectually childlike, physically unattractive, and neglectful of their biological families. These latter traits have been associated with blacks, generally, and are implied in the word ******. The word ****** was a shorthand way of saying that blacks possessed the moral, intellectual, social, and physical characteristics of the Coon, Brute, Tom, Mammy, and other racial caricatures.”
Dr. David Pilgrim and Dr. Phillip Middleton, “****** and Caricature”
At no time in the history of this nation has the word as used by whites ever implied anything positive. It is one of the most derogatory descriptors of a human that has ever been created. I’m not going to attempt a long dissertation about the etymology of the word. Many before me have done that. We understand it’s a word that can be traced to latin much like most of our language is. I want to look at the word as it has been used in American race relations between whites and blacks in order for whites to understand why it is unwise for them to use the word in a conversation wih a black individual.
Historically the N word has been used to by whites to describe blacks as lazy, dumb, uneducated, worthless, scum, less than human and parasites. It has stood for nothing coming out of the mouth of whites but insults and to denigrate black people. For over 240 years this has been the primary use of the word by whites. When they first started using the word, blacks could not fight back. Blacks had to take being disgraced and belittled or face beatings or death. When the lynch mobs came to get us, they were not using the word as a term of endearment. The word coming from whites has carred a belief of superiority. It was them saying they are better than us just because they exist. The pre school age white child could freely call elderly black men or women who had lived a full life and had wisdom that child may never receive that word and it’s parents said nothing about respecting your elders. The term coming from whites simply means no respect. In addition the word has meant:
- ******, v. To wear out, spoil or destroy.
- Niggerish, adj. Acting in an indolent and irresponsible manner.
- Niggerlipping, v. Wetting the end of a cigarette while smoking it.
- Niggerlover, n. Derogatory term aimed at whites lacking in the necessary loathing of blacks.
- ****** luck, n. Exceptionally good luck, emphasis on undeserved.
- ******-flicker, n. A small knife or razor with one side heavily taped to preserve the user's fingers.
- ****** heaven, n. a designated place, usually the balcony, where blacks were forced to sit, for example, in an integrated movie theater or church.
- ****** knocker, n. axe handle or weapon made from an axe handle.
- ****** rich, adj, Deeply in debt but ostentatious.
- ****** shooter, n. A slingshot.
- ****** steak, n. a slice of liver or a cheap piece of meat.
- ****** stick, n. police officer's baton.
- ****** tip, n. leaving a small tip or no tip in a restaurant.
- ****** in the woodpile, n. a concealed motive or unknown factor affecting a situation in an adverse way.
- ****** work, n. Demeaning, menial tasks.(Green, 1984, p. 190)

Let us go back to the James Baldwin quote at the beginning of this chapter. Whites invented the word. And the word meant nothing funny or positive. Why did whites invent this word? Was it because they were the ones who felt inferior so they had to make up a fictitious term? Was it because whites were so insecure about themselves they had to make up a word to have a reason to look down on people in order to lift themselves up? And why do whites want so badly to keep using the word now? Do they have such low self esteem they must still rely on a fake word about a made up non existent being in order to feel good about themselves? I don’t know the answer and don’t give a damn what the answer could be. The N word is not to be used by whites.
“If black people call each other N-words in the company of a white guy, then logically they have forfeited any right to be offended if the white guy also calls them N-words. Of course many will be offended because few people are logical when it comes to racial issues.”
Funny how whites say stuff like this. We don't feel like we have the right to call whites micks, degos, wops, guineas, limeys, kikes and pollacks just because we hear them doing it. But it seems that whites have a problem and so i'll say this again: The n word is not to be used by whites. If you are white and hear blacks saying it to each other, feel free to break that rule, but then also feel free to accept the consequences that come with your decision.
This is all I am going to write on this matter. N is not just a word. Not to blacks. And in this case, that’s the only opinion that matters. I don’t give a damn if you use the hard “r” or the “gga”, the word is not to be used by whites. Here are words spoken by a white person to another one when that person decided to argue the age-old argument some whites use about blacks saying it to each other.
It doesn't matter if it is, IMO. You don't call a grown man "boy," (unless it's "cowboy") just as you don't call a Yankee woman "girl." A German doesn't call an Italian a Dego. A Caucasian doesn't call a brown person a ******. You shouldn't be arrested for it, but it's definitely provocative.
African American... what's that? You mean like born in Africa and legally immigrated to America?Alito was using the word as examples of what NOT to do/accept. I can't believe a group of African Americans were saying she did anything wrong, using it in the context she did. She is AGAINST the n- word. That's totally clear."What white people have to do is try and find out in their own hearts why it was necessary to have a ‘nig-ger’ in the first place, because I’m not a nig-ger, I’m a man.

I see... so you're saying two things here, one, obama was born in Mombasa, Kenya, Africa, just like his grandmother who witnessed his birth there said, and two, African Americans are people that were born in Africa and immigrated to America.

This is all I am going to write on this matter. N is not just a word. Not to blacks. And in this case, that’s the only opinion that matters. I don’t give a damn if you use the hard “r” or the “gga”, the word is not to be used by whites. Here are words spoken by a white person to another one when that person decided to argue the age-old argument some whites use about blacks saying it to each other.
It doesn't matter if it is, IMO. You don't call a grown man "boy," (unless it's "cowboy") just as you don't call a Yankee woman "girl." A German doesn't call an Italian a Dego. A Caucasian doesn't call a brown person a ******. You shouldn't be arrested for it, but it's definitely provocative.
This is pretty crazy.
Stupid Republicans couldn’t do anything about it
I see... so you're saying two things here, one, obama was born in Mombasa, Kenya, Africa, just like his grandmother who witnessed his birth there said, and two, African Americans are people that were born in Africa and immigrated to America. What race would those people from Africa be, since there's lots of white people in Africa?Yea ...like Obama didAfrican American... what's that? You mean like born in Africa and legally immigrated to America?Alito was using the word as examples of what NOT to do/accept. I can't believe a group of African Americans were saying she did anything wrong, using it in the context she did. She is AGAINST the n- word. That's totally clear."What white people have to do is try and find out in their own hearts why it was necessary to have a ‘nig-ger’ in the first place, because I’m not a nig-ger, I’m a man. But if you think I’m a nig-ger, it means you need him. The question you’ve got to ask yourself, is, if you invented him, you the white people invented him, then you’ve got to find out why. And the future of the country depends on that, whether or not it is able to ask that question.”

I don’t know what has entered the minds of some white Americans. For some reason they have given themselves permission to believe they have the right to use the n word. The rationale for this is, “listen to the rappers, you guys use the word among yourselves so it apparently won’t offend you when whites do it.” Let me say to whites that at one time the opinon was that the moon was made of cheese. Certainly you have freedom of speech and you CAN hold that conversation with a black and use the word at your leisure. But if you are white and you desire so much to use this word to describe us, it’s best you reserve it’s use for conversations only among whites.
Why do whites think they have this right? Everything has a history and so does the n word. The purposeful way a part of the white culture chooses to forget and even deny history is sickening. For those who are white and think it is just a harmless and endearing word when whites use it, let us do a small review of the history and usage of the n word by whites in America. After all, if there has ever been a time where whites used the word and it meant something complimentary, I really need to know. Because I my more than 58 years of living I have yet to hear that example.
“There is a direct and strong link between the word ****** and anti-black caricatures. Although ****** has been used to refer to any person of known African ancestry.2 it is usually directed against blacks who supposedly have certain negative characteristics. The Coon caricature, for example, portrays black men as lazy, ignorant, and obsessively self-indulgent; these are also traits historically represented by the word ******. The Brute caricature depicts black men as angry, physically strong, animalistic, and prone to wanton violence. This depiction is also implied in the word ******. The Tom and Mammy caricatures are often portrayed as kind, loving "friends" of whites. They are also presented as intellectually childlike, physically unattractive, and neglectful of their biological families. These latter traits have been associated with blacks, generally, and are implied in the word ******. The word ****** was a shorthand way of saying that blacks possessed the moral, intellectual, social, and physical characteristics of the Coon, Brute, Tom, Mammy, and other racial caricatures.”

At no time in the history of this nation has the word as used by whites ever implied anything positive. It is one of the most derogatory descriptors of a human that has ever been created. I’m not going to attempt a long dissertation about the etymology of the word. Many before me have done that. We understand it’s a word that can be traced to latin much like most of our language is. I want to look at the word as it has been used in American race relations between whites and blacks in order for whites to understand why it is unwise for them to use the word in a conversation wih a black individual.
Historically the N word has been used to by whites to describe blacks as lazy, dumb, uneducated, worthless, scum, less than human and parasites. It has stood for nothing coming out of the mouth of whites but insults and to denigrate black people. For over 240 years this has been the primary use of the word by whites. When they first started using the word, blacks could not fight back. Blacks had to take being disgraced and belittled or face beatings or death. When the lynch mobs came to get us, they were not using the word as a term of endearment. The word coming from whites has carred a belief of superiority. It was them saying they are better than us just because they exist. The pre school age white child could freely call elderly black men or women who had lived a full life and had wisdom that child may never receive that word and it’s parents said nothing about respecting your elders. The term coming from whites simply means no respect. In addition the word has meant:
- ******, v. To wear out, spoil or destroy.
- Niggerish, adj. Acting in an indolent and irresponsible manner.
- Niggerlipping, v. Wetting the end of a cigarette while smoking it.
- Niggerlover, n. Derogatory term aimed at whites lacking in the necessary loathing of blacks.
- ****** luck, n. Exceptionally good luck, emphasis on undeserved.
- ******-flicker, n. A small knife or razor with one side heavily taped to preserve the user's fingers.
- ****** heaven, n. a designated place, usually the balcony, where blacks were forced to sit, for example, in an integrated movie theater or church.
- ****** knocker, n. axe handle or weapon made from an axe handle.
- ****** rich, adj, Deeply in debt but ostentatious.
- ****** shooter, n. A slingshot.
- ****** steak, n. a slice of liver or a cheap piece of meat.
- ****** stick, n. police officer's baton.
- ****** tip, n. leaving a small tip or no tip in a restaurant.
- ****** in the woodpile, n. a concealed motive or unknown factor affecting a situation in an adverse way.
- ****** work, n. Demeaning, menial tasks.(Green, 1984, p. 190)

Let us go back to the James Baldwin quote at the beginning of this chapter. Whites invented the word. And the word meant nothing funny or positive. Why did whites invent this word? Was it because they were the ones who felt inferior so they had to make up a fictitious term? Was it because whites were so insecure about themselves they had to make up a word to have a reason to look down on people in order to lift themselves up? And why do whites want so badly to keep using the word now? Do they have such low self esteem they must still rely on a fake word about a made up non existent being in order to feel good about themselves? I don’t know the answer and don’t give a damn what the answer could be. The N word is not to be used by whites.
“If black people call each other N-words in the company of a white guy, then logically they have forfeited any right to be offended if the white guy also calls them N-words. Of course many will be offended because few people are logical when it comes to racial issues.”
Funny how whites say stuff like this. We don't feel like we have the right to call whites micks, degos, wops, guineas, limeys, kikes and pollacks just because we hear them doing it. But it seems that whites have a problem and so i'll say this again: The n word is not to be used by whites.

Every elected bubble head in Washington knew he wasn't constitutionally eligible to be president, but he was the great experiment and they ignored the constitution. The little mulatto muslims, going to show the world that Americans aren't racist anymore and he was going to make all the muslims love us. Well, we all know how that worked out. It backfired in epic style because he hated America himself, and did everything in his power to destroy us, just as his puppet master Soros was telling him to do.
But back to the topic at hand... AFRICAN AMERICA is NOT a RACE. NEGRO is, BLACK.
Give it a rest. It is the term used in the article. You sore they didn't use "******?"African American... what's that?

I want to look at the word as it has been used in American race relations between whites and blacks in order for whites to understand why it is unwise for them to use the word in a conversation wih a black individual.
Historically the N word has been used to by whites to describe blacks as lazy, dumb, uneducated, worthless, scum, less than human and parasites. It has stood for nothing coming out of the mouth of whites but insults and to denigrate black people. For over 240 years this has been the primary use of the word by whites. When they first started using the word, blacks could not fight back. Blacks had to take being disgraced and belittled or face beatings or death. When the lynch mobs came to get us, they were not using the word as a term of endearment. The word coming from whites has carred a belief of superiority. It was them saying they are better than us just because they exist. The pre school age white child could freely call elderly black men or women who had lived a full life and had wisdom that child may never receive that word and it’s parents said nothing about respecting your elders. The term coming from whites simply means no respect. In addition the word has meant:
- ******, v. To wear out, spoil or destroy.
- Niggerish, adj. Acting in an indolent and irresponsible manner.
- Niggerlipping, v. Wetting the end of a cigarette while smoking it.
- Niggerlover, n. Derogatory term aimed at whites lacking in the necessary loathing of blacks.
- ****** luck, n. Exceptionally good luck, emphasis on undeserved.
- ******-flicker, n. A small knife or razor with one side heavily taped to preserve the user's fingers.
- ****** heaven, n. a designated place, usually the balcony, where blacks were forced to sit, for example, in an integrated movie theater or church.
- ****** knocker, n. axe handle or weapon made from an axe handle.
- ****** rich, adj, Deeply in debt but ostentatious.
- ****** shooter, n. A slingshot.
- ****** steak, n. a slice of liver or a cheap piece of meat.
- ****** stick, n. police officer's baton.
- ****** tip, n. leaving a small tip or no tip in a restaurant.
- ****** in the woodpile, n. a concealed motive or unknown factor affecting a situation in an adverse way.
- ****** work, n. Demeaning, menial tasks.(Green, 1984, p. 190)

Let us go back to the James Baldwin quote at the beginning of this chapter. Whites invented the word. And the word meant nothing funny or positive. Why did whites invent this word? Was it because they were the ones who felt inferior so they had to make up a fictitious term? Was it because whites were so insecure about themselves they had to make up a word to have a reason to look down on people in order to lift themselves up? And why do whites want so badly to keep using the word now? Do they have such low self esteem they must still rely on a fake word about a made up non existent being in order to feel good about themselves? I don’t know the answer and don’t give a damn what the answer could be. The N word is not to be used by whites.
“If black people call each other N-words in the company of a white guy, then logically they have forfeited any right to be offended if the white guy also calls them N-words. Of course many will be offended because few people are logical when it comes to racial issues.”
Funny how whites say stuff like this. We don't feel like we have the right to call whites micks, degos, wops, guineas, limeys, kikes and pollacks just because we hear them doing it. But it seems that whites have a problem and so i'll say this again: The n word is not to be used by whites. If you are white and hear blacks saying it to each other, feel free to break that rule, but then also feel free to accept the consequences that come with your decision.
This is all I am going to write on this matter. N is not just a word. Not to blacks. And in this case, that’s the only opinion that matters. I don’t give a damn if you use the hard “r” or the “gga”, the word is not to be used by whites. Here are words spoken by a white person to another one when that person decided to argue the age-old argument some whites use about blacks saying it to each other.
It doesn't matter if it is, IMO. You don't call a grown man "boy," (unless it's "cowboy") just as you don't call a Yankee woman "girl." A German doesn't call an Italian a Dego. A Caucasian doesn't call a brown person a ******. You shouldn't be arrested for it, but it's definitely provocative.
This is pretty crazy.
ClearlyLooks like those Democrats are going back to their roots
Trump was elected by the DeplorablesDemocrats can't let racism die, it must be kept alive by allowing the use of the "N" word by their black voters. Without racism, many democrats would be out of a job.
Your queen is still whining that the election was stolen from her. You people really need to grow up.Trump was elected by the DeplorablesDemocrats can't let racism die, it must be kept alive by allowing the use of the "N" word by their black voters. Without racism, many democrats would be out of a job.
Some of them are good people
