This is sad, but true...\n\nWe live a society now a days where violence and hate is common. Television shows depict acts of hate, rage, murder and etc...\n\nThe word nigg@ depicts all of the acts and many more. Many people know that the word is hurtful, but use it just for that reason.  \n\nIt is not what African American leaders can do, but what can good people, regardless of color do to stop a downward decline of the moral fabric of this country. \n\nWe can start by loving our children and spending time teaching them values.  Then we teach them how to have respect for other people and good manners, which now a days is very much so lacking in our society.  \nPeace...

I think blacks(African Americans) feel comfortable in using the word,because they have adapted an separate meaning from the word's original intent, but get mad when other races use it because it was used as an insult to our race for so long! But to be honest, some black people are offended when they word is used so carelessly and freely by other blacks, because it was a word to express the ultimate disgust and disrespect for a race that whites did not even consider human...we were considered 3/5 of a person!!! So actually, NONE of us should use "their" (not their meaning white people, but their meaning RACIST people) term of disrespect for us as a term of "brotherhood"...but it happens.  I don't know why its so comfortable for it to just slip out of our mouths!!! But when I think about how painful it must have been for our ancestors to be disrespected in such a way, it always makes me think more conciously about what come out of my mouth and not use the word freely as a slang term.\n\nBTW...I like your question because you were not a smart azz in asking it!!! And its something that Black people definitely should think about!!!

I'm not black either but, most post i see if it's asking about a black person it starts off as the "N" word instand of the intelligent way of saying African American.That's not to say you can't ask a question about them.It's usually how it's frazed that "GETS" some people.

do not let these comments stop you from expressing yourself. the people making these remarks may only know one language and use it badly.

Well they say we have free speech but i think its really limited speech you can say what you want as long as it dont offend somebody which is hard to do cuz you can say something and not mean nothing by it but someone could get offended

I just tried to that with one of your questions and found that I could not message you. I turned mine off because I indicated some KKK members hate mail as spam so no one can message me now, so I turned it off. So if you want us to message you, you have to turn that feature on.

I would first have to question why you would want to say the word in the first place.\n\nSecondly, the word has been so used and abused in the past, to demean and humiliate African Americans, it has become a slur when it comes from the mouth of any person who is not African American.\n\nBear in mind, I hate hearing those words altogether, specially in rap and hip hop, as those artists pretend they're reclaiming the word, when in fact, they're giving people the right to use that word against us, and to use it badly.

Well, I have been discrminiated against and racially profiled. I am a militray wife and been just about every where and because of my fair skin I have been assumed to be Everything but, black. Because they say I "sound" white. Many people are under the assumption that all black people are "brown skinned". NOT TRUE. we come in different shades. I am mixed with Seminole Indian, African American, German and Irish. Despite of my many mixed nationalities I am abdominatly "Black". But, it's ashame to see that people still use the "N" word even within the black community. But, as soon as a person of a different race says it, it's offending. So, why call eachother that. It is a sticky discussion and can go on for years to come.

Responding to THEY LIVE, it's not funny and you're just as ignorant as the people who use the word!!! Black people especially shouldn't use the word that degrades them. I don't know why they use it. they're just as ignorant as the people who made it. we need to come together as a black community and get it together!!

listen... tell the bi tch what's up... the only reason why you CAN'T talk black is because you're afraid that she's gonna get up in your face about it.... it's all just words... if you want to talk like you're uneducated... then go ahead... there's nothing wrong with it... just back your s hit up... if you're afraid ... then just don't do it...

By Kevin Osborne, Post staff reporter\n\n\n\nFollowing through on a warning issued a month ago, Mayor Charlie Luken imposed sanctions against a local activist Wednesday and prevented him from speaking at Cincinnati City Council's regular meeting.\n\nThe activist, Lincoln Heights resident Kabaka Oba, routinely uses ethnic and racial slurs in his remarks during City Council's public comment period that are inappropriate, Luken said. Among the remarks are Oba's repeated use of the phrases, ''Jew-nited Snakes of America'' and ''white devils.''\n\n''I have warned him a half-dozen times. I have no choice,'' the mayor said. ''I have to retain some control over these meetings and this is unacceptable behavior. ''\n\nLuken sent a memorandum to City Council members Monday, informing them that he planned to prohibit Oba from speaking at this week's meeting, unless someone objected. No one did.\n\nMaybe thats why he's dead.

Actually, I don't think anybody should be using ANY of those words.  Why should anybody be derogatory about ANY race?  What's the point of that?  People are people, dear. I say ban them all!  (I've never even heard of some of those words!)

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.

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!!
