The N word vs Cracker

Ok I'm going to say if for the purpose of this thread.
Nigger is derogatory. Its rude to call a black person a nigger.
Drop the -er and replace it with an -a and it becomes nigga, a term that can mean endearment and friendship. Like, "my nigga" means youre a good friend to someone. I honestly say "nigga" a lot with my friends. Half of the friends I hang out with are black males, and they don't mind. Actually, they're the ones who encouraged it. I only ever say it around one group of friends because they're comfortable saying it and don't find it offensive.

Same here. Completely agree!

Within that group of friends, we also have a "nig of the week" where someone gets nomimated that was particularly childish or immature(always lightheartedly) that week. I've recieved it many times

So you want to say it as a term of endearment yet have "nig of the week" for someone that was immature and childish? What kind of bs is that?

I didn't come.up with it. My black friend did
Come to think of it, im really not helping my case right now so I'll just shut up and eat a banana

In reply to unbeweavable. I think it's reclaiming the word, taking something that was derogatory and subverting it.

guest, I'm sorry but you know damn well that they are not taking this term and subverting it. The N word, nigger for God's sake, is derogatory no matter what. That's just like me saying, "Oh look at the midget!" and a little person getting all mad (little people do not like this word) but then going and calling themselves a midget anyway. These blacks who use the N word are so completely and unbelievably hypocritical. It's pathetic.

N*gger litterally used to mean black, it was not just slaves and it was not deragatory.
