how come black people can call eachother the N word? if i did it id be a racist!?

.Ask any black person and they wont give you a good answer they'll just diss you or change the subject..Don't believe me?? look at the two answers above me.

Its just that black people want to be independent and don't want whites or Mexicans stealing their way of life.

because you can and this is coming from a black person. I'm not saying people will not try to beat you up or correct you but you are an American and you have good old freedom of speech on your side. If a word offends you then you need to grow some ballz.

Well its because white people used that word back in slavery and thats the word that they used to control us back then and they've used it so much on us (that word) that we got adapted to using that word. They are the ones that taught us on how to say it to each other.

Why is this in the RHH section? Oh, because all hip hop fans go about calling each other the N word, right? Wrong.

It's like that with every nationality. They all have one form of as degrading name that only they can get away with. the N word is just the most popular one.

white peopel try so hard to be liek us....they pretty mcuh taking every thing we have and made it their won, if they take our last word well....come on! Waht do we have? jsut try and walk into a hood, and say what up my ni%%a 2 sumbody, i gurantee u'll never say it again...its offensive. whites used to call slaves that and we'er jsut tryna say we're not slaves anymore.

and google white jokes, the results? are endless.

That is the rules. Why cant a black man be president? First he would be assasinated anyway. Society made the rules, so we have to deal with them.

Can we have anything without the other Race worrying about it.You cant say an that's the way it is..White Joke for you...Stay on your side...

because thats the way it is. why do white people want to say the word so much is my question. its just one word! black people can say it because it is a slur against them just like f** is a slur against gays. they can say it but staright people can't. white people can't say say n**** because 50 years ago they used it as an insult but now you want to say it again because we turned around? n**** please!

why would anyone wanna call anyone a derogatory name in the first place personally i disagree with it no matter whose using it.
