Yes, scary people ready to do violence are, in fact, scary. Thats how it works. The words really don't make a difference at that point.
If I'm in my element, I can talk shit all I want because I know what situations I will and will not be attacked in. As for bf, LA, out of my element, not starting shit with the locals because I don't know if i can get away with it there.
There's a difference between Nigger and Nigga in the rap
community and only one is acceptable.
Nigga pls. With every racist thing its the group being victimized by said word that needs to own it. Cause you're certainly not gonna change the mind of every racist fuck out there. Women's movement is doing it already with vag, cunt and pussy.
Not enough women say cunt.
You haven't met many british women have you?
Mr.K~ EL OH FUCKING EL. funniest thing i ever seen.
I didn't used to use the word alot. i though it was wrong to do so. Now i really dont give a shit. the word means nothin to me really. As stated before the intent when using the word carries more weight than the word itself.
So i will leave you with the immortal words of Eazy muthafuckin E:"I'm a nigga,he's a nigga, she's a nigga, we some niggas, wouldnt' you like to be nigga too!"

I'd beg to differ. Being called a racial slur by violent people is much worse than simply being called stupid, dumbass, asshole, etc.Quote:

Probably doesn't help that there's a big perceived difference between "nigga" and "nigger," does it? It was pretty funny when I was working at Circuit City and used "nigga" all the time, but a couple other white people there didn't understand the difference (they thought it was just the intent, not the intent and the word) and said "nigger" and we had damn near had half the store about to beat the shit out of them.
Matt: Hey, you going to hang out with those niggers tonight?
...And the conversation went downhill from there.
[edit] And I see this has been touched on in the time it took me to post.It's from Kentucky Fried Movie, I recommend it.Quote:

Besides, a funeral is just silly. They can't erase it from the language. People will still say whatever the fuck they want- it's their right (at least for now).
If people are offended by the word, why should it continue to be used? It's not up to us to determine what is offensive to someone else.Quote:
