Why do blacks call each other the "N" word? I don't understand it.!


Question: It is not cool. It seems like black people are saying that word is okay. People back then called black people that word cause they were racist son of b*tches. Why in the world would they want to call people they know that? It seems to me like a insult with who ever says it.

Yea there are a lot of black ppl that use that word but not all...Should have said why do SOME...but anyways...I consider the word the same as saying any other profane word...Therefore I dont use it in a "so called" endearing fashion...Cant lie I have used to describe some ignorant folk...but its not part of my everyday vocab.

  • I'm black and I don't call anyone the N word.

    Not really, and it definitely shouldn't offend you. It all depends on the context it's used in. In rap when people say it, they generally refer to a black person(not in a derogitory way) or sometimes any person in general. It's only offensive if used in a bad context.

    Its a complete double standard. They get so offended when white people call them it, but its a term of endearment for them to use. They could use words like cracker and honky and nobody bats an eye. Nobody should use the word. Period

    they dont want to make it seem ok for people to say it..some people are just proving they are bigger than the word and can use it..but 90% of the time they dont use "that" word, most use the slang of it..meaning somethin else not the racist way.

    LOL theres another Ant here...

    And Im gonna cosign to what ANT [Real] one said...

    NOT all African Americans use the n-word.


    What I don't understand is...

    why is it a big deal for caucasians...????????

    i know n im black. i dont really care is not like when u dont say the N word u gonna die or something just dont be mad or whatever u are right now

    why do people post thes type of things in da rap section

    is rap 2 blame??

    HEIDI [questioner] u posted it here because black people come here??? so black people are the only race that listens to rap??/ what is this world comin 2??
    black people can be in any section....this is NOT the right section

    I can't speak for black people but i would guess that they do it because they like to...and not all like to but for some it fits into their language and swagger.

    My version of this would be when I call my friends skanks, ho's, etc. They know I mean it in an endearing way. Maybe its the way I say it or because they know I love them. But its our thing that when heard by an outsider could be taken as offensive.

    Bottom line don't say n**ga, since I take it you aren't black. The same way my girls would kick ur *** if YOU called them a skank.

    Its funny tho white people always ask this question.

    I have several close friends that are people of color-black. Not African American, they are not from Africa nor are they all from America. Some are American, some are from the Caribbean.

    The N word comes up when they are speaking of gang bangers, low-life baby killers that deserve to be in jail. I don't hear them call each other that term at all.

    "Maybe it's because we are white and we don't know"..........exactly, yall DONT know

    The "N" word isn't even the biggest issue anymore. There is much more hate in the word f*ggot than there is in the word n*gga.

    "I have a major in hoe-ology and I'm using you as my thesis"
    Hysterical, haha

    its how they speak, i hear, whites call each other n****s, its just ...well....they dont mean to insult

    MIMI, get off O'Reilly's sack

    daaamn! This took a turn for the worst. I don't think you should be asking this question, til you know what you talkin about. You straight up generalized a whole group of people. You obviously don't know anything about our culture. We call our homeboys n*gga sometimes, it's like an endearing term we use. It's like saying what's up dawg, or whatup G. It's OUR thing and it's not for YOU to understand it. White people mis-use it. We don't. It would be a problem if you guys would quit trying to imitate us.

    LOL!!! Mimi no offense but you do look a little old to be on Yahoo fightin with the youngsters on here. Grow up woman.

    HEY MIMI what trailer park are you from???? And let me quess, you probably have plastic pink flamingos sticking in your lawn too......am I right? LOL!!! Sorry, Stan is right you are one ugly dried up old BYTCH!

    Stan is a trip... LOL!

    ouch!

    oohhhhh snap what did I miss?? Whoa Stan I don't think I ever seen anyone get cussed out like that before in my life. You are too funny lol

    MIMI: I have to agree with eveyone else, you really don't know what you're talking about and you've really made yourself look ignorant on here today.


    lmao!! this has got to be the funniest post I have seen so far. I finished reading it all. Mimi you should go crawl under a rock and never come out again. You have embarrassed yourself royal!

    When i use that word to my fellow negros I mean brother. But a white dude cant use it coz they had racism in mind when they brought that word into being. You take away some priviledges by doing some things, just like a convicted drug felon cant vote in presidential elections in NY, Ask 50 cent, he falls in that category

    Its a part of my vocabulary like "The" and "It". I've been using it since I was a little kid. I mean when my friends call me N, I know they dont mean no disrespect. I can call my friends faggots and they know its all just talk.

    Awww - Mimi isn't being very nice.

    Most blacks don't refer to each other with the N-word as it depicts hatred and is usually used by other racist in a hate rather than term of endearment.

    who gives a rats a*s what they call each other.. I don't associate with that crap. Keep your inner city , keep your ghetto.. call each other what you want,

    thumbs up Mimi..

    YIKES!! I'm staying out of this one!!

    REV RON: SHUT THE FUK UP!!!!!!!! TAKE YO SORRY MARK AZZ UP OUTTA HERE. GO PICK UP MIMI IN HER ROACH-INFESTED TRAILOR AND THE BOTH OF YALL CAN RIDE YA 1975 PINTO BUMPIN SOME ‘LYNARD SKINNARD’ CRAP AND SUCKIN ON SNUFF. NOBODY TOLD YO SORRY AZZ TO COMMENT ON IT. IF IT AIN YOU, YOU NOT A PART OF IT, YOU DON’T WANT A PART OF IT, THAN BAIL THE FUK OUT!!!!!! DUMBASS BYTCH. GO LICK MIMI’S CRABBY PIE SORRY AZZ FAGG!!

    Now just look at all the trouble you started by asking this question

    whoa!! this question turned into a chatroom....lmao!! good one...lol MIMI is a skank


    EDIT: lol Menace....ur right =)

    Greeeeeeat goin HEIDI! We were all bonding just fine here in the Hip Hop section til YOOOOOOOU had to come in and spoil it! Ya lil son of a bytch.

    Hey everyone else in the Hip Hop section don’t give in to these pieces of crap! WE’RE A FAMILY HERE IN THE HIP HOP SECTION AND WE DON’T HAVE TO SETTLE FOR THIS RUBBISH! If they don’t like it, that’s theeeeeeyre problem!

    MIMI DEAR YOU ARE LOOKIN A LITTLE DRY UNDER THE EYES, EVER HEARD OF MOSITURIZER? THANKS.

    certain people say certain stuff...if it's not you don't worry about it.

    I am African-American and when we say n**** we don't mean it in a offensive way that is just another way that we say homie or friend.But i now am trying to stop myself from using the word n**** because our ancestors have been abused,raped, even killed just for us so that we would not be called that name or treated unfairley,But to answer your ? we say it to offend each other,it's just our way of saying homie.But it is not only African-american ppl saying n****,other races call each other n**** too!!!!
