Here's the question. Why is it alright for blacks to say it to each other, but if a white says it, it's evil? I don't think that ANYONE should be saying it. It just makes you look dumber, and look like a hypocrite.
Their excuse was that the word was created as a derrogatory term for blacks, and gave the white man power over them. When blacks use the word now, it takes the power away from the whites and gives it back to blacks. I think that's total bullshit. All it does is confuse people even more. If the word is so evil, and no one would EVER want to be called it in its truest form, then why would you continue to use it? It just keeps bringing it to the forefront.
Personally I don't see us EVER moving forward in tearing down race walls when blacks still have this hatred for hundreds of years of slavery. But just remember something.....
Many countries in Africa used slaves for thousands of years. How do you think the pyramids were built? Those people weren't willing workers.
I didn't make you a slave. My parents didn't make you slaves. In fact, MY grandparents didn't make you slaves either. So to hate an entire race for something that a few did is ridiculous.
maybe you should know what you are talking about
WHITE PEOPLE CAN"T USE NIGGER
White people in this Great Land have had it easy
the whole time i haven't heard in the history of whites
anyone saying they were oppressed for their color.
