Do I have to go "Fuck the police comin straight from the underground. A young (pause) got it bad cause I'm brown"? Then what if I'm fighting a person who happens to be black. I HATE anyone I'm in a fight with and if I think calling someone a nigger will make them feel shitier while I beat them up then you are going to see the n-bomb dropped a lot.

Oh yeah, what if I go through my ancestory and find out my great great great grandpa was black? I do not look black but doesn't the 1 drop rule apply? Can I say it then and chill in Compton?

I also refuse to use "African-American" because I have yet to meet a true African-American except for two friends from high school who where whiter than ghosts. Hell, they even called the crotch bomber "African-American".

Jessie, Sharpton, and Dr. Dre need to get on this and clear this shit up for us crackers.

I'm rollin here...

Only time I hear whites saying "nigger" is if they are a hardcore racist and talking amongst other whites.

"Nigga" is used for a much wider variety of purposes, some deragotory, but other times as a friendly, comical term of endearment, like "yo wassup my niggaz?

In contrast, "nigger" is only used for one purpose -- to spread hate. At least in my experience. Everyone's experience is different

That being said, why is it OK for black people to say yo wassup my nigga, but it is not OK for two white people to do it? And no, I'm not saying that a white person should go around saying it to black people....he shouldn't. Unless that black person was a good buddy of his and nobody else was in earshot.

It's the exact same reason why blacks can pull the race card and get away with it....Double standard!!!
