ignorance of some people truly amazes me

He then went on to tell me that a black man saying it is worse than a white man saying it. You're making it seem like it's ok for others to use a word that was used to keep your people down. Again his exact words, "If you're around your boys and nobody else, it can be a term of affection. If you're around other people, it's ignorant and rude.".

Well then case closed! If your friend told you it was okay them have at it! In fact, why don't you come on down and bring Rangerscott and who ever else wants to come. I'll take you all out to a few clubs and shot houses I go to. I'm sure that you'll hear black people using the "N" word all night and it'll give you the opportunity to try out your theory. Hey, if anyone gets mad, I'm sure that you telling them that your black Canadian buddy said that it was okay will appease them.

I can't say it enough times, I don't care how many black people tell you that it's okay to call THEM a nigger, nigga, nucka, etc. I don't care how many John Singleton movies or episodes of Dave Chappell you watch, I don't care how many rap songs you listen to...you are not authorized to call me a nigger, period. I know that you want to be able to run the country side calling black people niggers again like in the "good old days"...I'm advising you not to try it, but hey you all seem to feel justified, so have at it. I dare you to walk up to some random group of black people, call them niggers and give them the same argument you're giving me.

Once again, the worst insult in the world can be turned into a endearing pet name when used by the right person, in the right context. That does not mean that anyone gets to use it though. What's so hard to understand about that?

Who the hell said anything even close to that?

I don't see any white person here asking for the right to go up to some random black guy and call him a nigger.

You seem to be saying every white guy who wants to use the word nigga wants to do it because he hates black people and wants to justify using that word as an insult. But actually, more than one person in this thread has talked about using the word as a term of endearment amongst his white buddies. You black people call each other that, so why can't us white people call each other that? Hell, we invented the word in the first place!

Dude, this thread is played out and won't come close to giving me the 70 or so posts I need...

Look here's the thing, for hundreds of years white people used the word nigger as a derogatory term for black people. Now that we have managed to take that word and give it a somewhat cool, "positive" and almost camaraderie-like meaning, you want to take it back? Fuck you! I'll tell ya what, you can have "wigger" that's our final offer!

I am the random classless white dude that wants permission to go up to random black dudes and say that.
Oh and you can keep jiggaboo, sounds too much like jitterbug which is either a cell phone with really big buttons or a dance from the 50's. Jiggaboo isn't mean enough for my tastes.
