georgym Posted October 17 Report Share Posted October 17 Ummm, that's a kind of wide-open question If you know anything about american history, it was a degradatory word used against black slaves back in the day. Now it seems to have morphed into acceptance among the black population to some degree to show solidarity. But i don't know about that. To me it's a controversial word and i don't use it <~~~ feelin like a black smurf for a minute Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our proff relayed a stroy about some political figure who used the word "niggardly" (1 Grudging and petty in giving or spending. 2 Meanly small; scanty or meager: left the waiter a niggardly tip.) to describe someone or someone's actions and was asked to resign because of it. I think that is fuckin In regards to the actualy word "nigger", i agree with jimk...even if it was socially acceptable for "white people" AKA anyone who isnt black ( ) to say it, however, i wouldnt...

sweetie029 Posted October 17 Report Share Posted October 17 idk...but my 1st college was about 90% black people.....One of my white friends used the term "nigga" when talking to 1 of my black friends & the kid is lucky he didn't get his ass beat...But anyway...my black friend explained that that word when used among black people...it's ok to say...but when someone of another race says it....even if they are using it in slang...well...they just shouldn't!! i don't get it...but i guess every ethnicity race has similar words/phrases that only THEY use towards each other Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to bring up the Albanian thing..... Also.....my ex is Greek...Him & his friends used to constantly refer to each other as malaka when speaking to one another...Now if I was told correctly the word means asshole or something like that....idk how correct that is....all I know is he told me if someone else uses the word who is not Greek.....it's not the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tastyt Posted October 17 Report Share Posted October 17 Originally posted by jimk29 No, I don't think they do... name one other word that another race uses towards each other that is deemed unacceptable for anyone else to say?? OK, so they're not all ethnic slurs, but you got-Fag, queer, dyke... Bitch, slut, whore... Mick, Paddy...All of which are deemed insults unless used by the person to whom they refer, or someone friendly with them.Serge is right, it's all about the context and attitude.Hell, the word "nigga" doesn't even refer to just blacks anymore.With that said, I hate the word, don't use it, and would be none too happy were anyone to refer to me as one...
