How am I a racist, when I told my friend to stop calling me ***** in every speech, yet he s?

There is this guy that I ve known for years.

Everytime we re having a conversation, rather than call me by name he ll say *****.

I told him to stop calling me *****, I told him to call me by my name.

His excuse is that he grew up luke that. BS, he s Italian-American on his mother s side, his dad is Puerto Rican but ge doesn t know his dad, his mom raised him.

He passes for white saying ***** all the time.

When I ve told him to stop, he tells that racist.

I told him I m not racist, I just don t like it.

I told him just because you hear some black people say it, doesn t give you the right to say it and or appropriate their culture.

I just don t like that word. It makes me feel less than.

If he was smart, the origin of the word was to treat degrade and treat blacks as if they were ignorant and less then.

Peoole think ***** is different from niqqer when it s not.

***** should never be ysed as an endearing term to greet friends.

    Whatever word you are using, Yahoo! doesn't like it so we don't know what it is. You say "I told him I m not racist, I just don t like it." but you also say "he passes for white" which is a blatantly racist comment. You have shown you are racist so perhaps your friend is right.
