Well, I don't know about that but in Chicago it doesn't happen that way. But a lot of people just joke around with those words, because of the rap music and everything. All I know, is that nobody should be called that word based on their skin color. N*gger refers to a ignorant, dirty person and from my experiences anybody can be ignorant and dirty regardless of race.

to answer 1 and 3...if this joke involved ppl from london, italy, america...or any other presumable 'white' country...would you still say its a derogetory joke???  \nc'mon ppl...grow up and get a sense of humor.  just b/c someone is making a joke about a 'black' culture....does not mean that he's being derogatory or racist!

No, they aren't "just bigots" maybe those people who ask think its a double standard and would like to know why blacks can call each nigga's but a white boy can't. Yet blacks can call white people crackers and thats no big deal.

I think its funny. And you get free points. Whats not to like? Did you do something to offend someone? Is that why theyre making fun of you?

No, to answer your question, it isn't funny at all. It is actually very sad that Black Americans born in certain parts of this country are 5 times more likely to go to prison than to finish High School. If you think it is "funny" then you are a sick and heartless person. This isn't a race issue so much as it is a poverty issue. Most Black Americans are born into poverty, as where most White Americans are not. People born into and raised in poor living conditions learn a different way of life, because that is all they are taught and all they know from an early age. Often times this way of life includes drugs, theft, violence, and general disregard for human life. Unfortunatly, for many, it feels like the only way to survive. If that is "funny", then you have a disregard for human life, which makes you basically the same.

I agree with you somewhat....its confusing of how white people should address them: black, colored or african american? All the political correctness is really confusing.

I find that really strange too! I do not go around saying that i am German-American. I am American and so are those black Americans. JUST AMERICAN.

Stupidity and jokes about certain races are not appreciated on here.  Your name tells me alot about you.\nGrow up !

I'm not sure you can leave out history.  I really don't take it  seriously when black people insult white people.  Honestly, I'm not even sure what the hell a "Cracker" is.  What can they say?  White people sue?  Can't dance?  But if whites start insulting blacks, it can go from simple insults to downright hurtful.  Think of Kramer's recent tirade - what can a black comedian say that could possibly match the connotation of stringing up a black person and shoving a pitchfork up his asss?  That's not funny, it's not sane, it's the rantings of a racist.  \n\nI'm not sure there's a corresponding line with any other race.\n\nBut simply put, I don't think blacks insulting whites carries nearly the power that whites insults blacks carries, and it is a holdover from the past, and it will take a very long time, lifetimes, to remove it.

I don't know if your racist, but I think some people have really pissed you off.  I'm white and have never been a brown noiser if you know what I mean.  It got me the title of anti-social.  No, I just refused to kiss butt.  After a hard day at work, I want to go home and see my family and kids not kiss butt for several more hours with people who make me sick to my stomach with all of there back stabbing and lies and attempts to kiss the Mans behind.  I feel like you should judge me on my merits and my hard work not by my social hours with the boss.  My job is important to me, but so is my family and my sense of reality.  Dude, by the way I know Black people who are the same way as Fat Boy Whitie.  Wait till you met them....Good luck on your future.  But people like this come in all colors of the rainbow.

Honey, you answered a questiona few seconds ago and I don't think she wanted racist jokes. She wanted RACEY jokes which means on the edge kinda pushing the limits of what the authorities will tolerate. So make sure you know these things before you call names

You are to funny! It's so true.\n\nBut now a days every one and everything has to be politically correct. It's okay to offend white and black people now just as long as you don't upset the Turkish, Kurdish, Arabs, or any other nationality who are living off OUR country's handouts!

I actually think its funny lol... good thing I'm half blk though, otherwise by laughing ppl would accuse me of being a racist.

I NEVER use the word, I consider it utterly hateful.  I can't understand why some blacks think it's OK to apply it to one another.

Yup, they surely are mastah, but not as quickly as you.\n\nWhich "black people" are you looking at?  The constant parade of crackheads, welfare, ghetto, perpetually incarated streoptypical black person as portrayed by our great media or are you looking at the fastest growing middle class in Americanada?\n\nAre you looking at Condoleeza Rice, Colin Powell, and Barak Obama?\n\nAs far as the so called "N" word is concerned, black people can call each other whatever they want in whatever manner they want just as other people and cultures refer to each other using outwardly negative terms but between friends is understood as something else.  \n\nDon't get me wrong, a black person using the "N" word for the same reason and effect as anyone else is just as wrong.  The difference is in who can use a term such as the "N" word in a neutral or positive way.  If you happen to be white, and your name happens to Eminem, and your close friends happen to be Dr Dre, 50 cents, and the rest of the "posse" then you can do it because the understanding exists that the intent is not to wound.  And it's all about the intent.\n\nNow if you happen to be just an acquaintance or it's a first time intro, then I would not suggest greeting a black person with, "what's up my n*gga?" you might get in a bit of trouble.\n\nNow judging from the conversations I have had with my friends, some white people are not mad about black people using the "N" word, they are mad that they cannot liberally use it.  They cannot parse that the word could be anything but a derogatory slur...or maybe they can and feel that they can wiled the power of the word judiciously.  \n\nI still say what I have always said, I invite any person who is not black to use the word at their discretion when speaking to black people.  As you're walking down the street, feel free to say, "hello N*gger, nice day isn't it?"

I would be offended.I admit I find it funny,and sometimes I cringe.We shouldn't support it.If it was my race I would feel like everyone was laughing at me.It would feel the same as being bullied.

I don't enjoy the word no matter who says it. It has been incorporated into black culture as a way of claiming(power)it from negative to positive.It has been handed down from slavery times. It is a bastardized form of the Spanish word negro which means black. It was used to demean a people thus even today if a white person uses the word it is viewed as racist.Check and see which group of people use that word as much if not more than some blacks.Let me give you a hint-White Power!!There are various groups of this type however i think that you will find not only some whites follow this line of thinking. Check other races as well. Peace!!
