It depends on what the situation is.\n\nA.  A man who is not happy and basically means what are you gonna do, bring it on.\n\nB.  A man who is happy means he did something good and is like "there in ya face!!"\n\nC. Or it can just mean what???\n\nIt really depend on the person who says it.  Son is like he is ur teacher, he is the man, u r the son, the younger minded one.  Women say it to someone who is a friend in a debate usually.  ex:  Like son (friend) you are trippin, thats just wrong!!

The word itself is a Latin derivative of "ignorance", (though most people believe that it refers to Niger - which unfortunately happens to be in Africa - however, they are called Nigerians).  To answer your questions...\n\n1) I am PROUDLY Multi-Ethnic and a "true" American.  My heritage spans 5 of the 7 continents - from Northern Africa, to most of Western Europe, to Asia, to both North and South Native America's.  (You should see our family gatherings!)  There's no Aborigine or Penguin yet - but I'm working on the latter - LOL!\n\n2) Never!  It's nasty and only proves your ignorance for using it - either colloquially or in hatred.\n\n3) It pisses me off!  Especially when used by African-American youth or other Black people in so-called "friendly" conversation.\n\n4) Most definitely!  See above.\n\n5) Even more so - I am not, have never been and never will be racist.  I judge people on their character - not the colour of their skin, their race, ethnicity, religeon, sex, level of intelligence or sexulaity.\n\n6) Only this.  I am not a religeous person, but I am very spiritual.  I just respect myself and above all, respect other people and nature the exact same way I want to be respected.  \n\nI was raised 1/2 Jewish and 1/2 Catholic, (I should have twice the guilt - LOL!), I believe that god - whatever he, she or it may be, created us to love each other respect each other and help each other in times of need.\n\n7) Besides - everyone's blood is red, (when it hits oxygen - in our bodies it is actually blue!), everyone's s**t stinks and finally - we will all die.\n\nThat's all - hope this helps.

I don't see how, it's a Latin root which simply means ' black '. What's offensive about that? Confusing, maybe, for me. I'm an artist. I work with color. Having a conversation with someone who's ' black ' but really what I see is Burnt or Raw Umber! Really throws me for a loop. Then, can you see explaining; " No, you're not really black. I see a lot of Iron Oxide Red, with a tad of Ivory Black or, in your case - Burnt Sienna, definitely, maybe a tad Caput Mortuum. " So, for expedience sake I say, yes. You're black ", and relegate it to Academia!

Your question is a strange one. Are you asking because you want to get in on calling blacks niggers?\n\nI can only tell you why it's not ok for me. First, the word is offensive and was created and used by bigots as a means to express their hatred toward blacks and destroy their esteem. The person using it is assuming a position of superiority over the person that they are directing it to. Second, there is no way to use the word nigger lovingly. To use it is to tell the other person that they are subhuman, the lowest, dirtiest, most worthless piece of crap that you have ever laid eyes on. There is no racial slur that can compete with it.\n\nTo use it as a white person is to subscribe to hatred. To use it as a black person shows profound ignorance (of the history and meaning of the word). Imagine kids who were born to a single mother. She resents the kids and calls them bastards all the time and beats them. Then one day the kids all get out of this bad situation and grow up to have kids of their own, and grandkids, and so on. Three generations later, all of the members of this big, extended family refer to each other as "bastard".  They adopted the hateful slur that was used by their oppressor in order to destroy their esteem to define themselves - anyone in their right mind would think that they were crazy.\n\nIf you hate black people, think they are scum, and believe you are superior to them, by all means, use the word nigger.

Jesus died for my sins.  It was a long time ago, but it affects me NOW.  I have been saved because of what he did.  I don't say anything about slavery, it doesn't matter any more.  Blacks have been freed, free for a VERY long time, and it doesn't make a difference.  Its not comparable to my religion.  Jesus saved my soul.  I will dwell on it, its the most important thing in my life.

Well, I'm not sure your question is appropriate for the point you're trying to make.  If I  tell my child no, well then, it doesn't mean I don't like him or her.  But if I tell someone who's trying to break into my home, "NO", it damn well might mean, "I don't like you!!!"   Who said it wasn't alright to not like someone?!  I've lived through all the civil rights days, and the "politcally correct" days, and I can tell you that when I retired, I was so glad to be outspoken about people I don't like it was just unbelievable!!  It's okay not to like someone.  You don't have to go around hating everyone, but then not liking someone doesn't mean you hate everyone or are "prejudiced" (what a catch word!) or sexist or racist or this-ist or that-ist.  It just means I don't like that particular person or persons.  What is it I've been hearing all my life, since the days of the early 1960's: "This is a free country".  Even though it's not free (it cost to live here in case people haven't figured out!), the point attempted to be made millions and billions of times by street corner philosophers and political wanna-bees is that they can say what they want and do what they want and feel what they want, etc., etc., etc..  Well, I've finally caught on, and I'm truly free to dislike certain individuals and groups of individuals across any line I want to, and if I don't like people breaking into my country, my home, and trying to live off what I've worked for, and act like it's there home, then by God I'm not going to like them, and I'm not going to pussyfoot around about it.  This country ain't free ya'll.  My son's over in Iraq for his second tour of duty to MAKE OUR COUNTRY FREE, and he's risking his life for that goal.  I'll be damned if I'm gonna run sheepishly around while he's jeopardizing his very existence for goals so lofty that this is the only country that has come so near achieving them.  So, if I tell my child, even my very brave son, "NO" (and I've told him and his sister that many a times), it doesn't mean I don't like them or love them.  But if you're trying to break into my home and make it your home, well, that's a whole 'nuther story.

Negro is a Spanish word translated to English is "Black".  It don't really matter what you think.  It really is up to your friends on whether or not they want to take offense.

Some blacks ARE African-Americans. They actually came here from Africa. \n\nI'm half Black. I prefer Black. Other Blacks who were born here think of being called Black as a negative thing because of the tone some people have in their voice when they say "Black people." I still know plenty of people who feel like they need to whisper it when they say it. \n\nIt's a matter of preference. Say Black. If someone gets offended, tell them why you choose Black. If they are still offended, and you don't mean any harm by it, then whose problem is it, really?

i dont understand why they say," the white man made me do it or the whiteman did it to me"    when something bad happens to me, i dont say the blacks did it to me or the blacks caused this to happen. i take resonsibility for my own actions.........no matter the color i am.

It was the older man's son.. that man's father is MY FATHER'S SON, "my father's son" is the old man speaking of himself.. in other words.. My father's son (myself) is that man's father..

It's basically saying "I can but you can't". If you make separate rules for yourself than you are playing the hypocrite. It's the same as when black people use the N word.

Actualy interesting story, I was at a bar with a female friend of mine and this black guy starts talking to her trying to get in her pants and such at this point he didnt realise she was with me. Finaly hes makeing a point and turns to me and goes "hey cracker what do you think?" i was all "why i gotta be a cracker? huh? do i go around calling you nigger? applogise for that" he asked me "you mean you never say to any of your friends whats up my nigga?" I said no and my boss (i was at the bar i work at) who is black backed me up i thought there was gonna be a fight but the guy applogised and decided to leave the girl and myself alone. so no i have to disagree now your right in that YES SOME blacks ... ill even dare to say MOST blacks would take offence to you calling him a nigga and meaning no offence but you cant make that statement its called steriotypeing dont do it dont generalise becuz the majority of a type of people maybe one way but there are always individuals that dont fit into that rule
