Why do so many blacks think the "N" word is funny?

Why can't we make the "N" word powerless for our generation and from now on. It's been a long time now since the slave days.  Let take the hurt out of it, after all the origin of the word is the spanish word for black.

Yes, You are racist. And who cares about the word??? If they want to use it , let them. It is derogatory for a white person to use it...And ,in my mind, It's derogatory for a black person to use it too. but, like I said...If they do...Who fucking cares? People say a lot of things I don't like...I don't lose any sleep over it.

Why JUST the "N" word?  We "need" (please note the quotes) to have words that hurt.  Some people would not be able to speak if they weren't able to deride somebody else in doing so.  Small minds produce small ideas.  The answers lay in the Bible.  IF were were to follow its (God's) word, we would all be treating each other a whole lot better.  God bless.

I know I see this everywhere. Blacks can make racist comments on whites and not be considered racist, but if some white kid says something to a black kid, it would be considered racist. It's horrible. I see this often on Nick Cannon's Wild N' Out.

yes it is hypocrisy. you are right.some say that we took the word from whites to take the control of our identity as black americans.i use the word.i use those other words too.this is the real killer, in private there are still white folks that call blacks, the n-word.and there are black folks that call white people, whatever it is we say in private.i think that he is lucky that the black folks in the audience did kick his azz.i'm not saying any of those words are right all i know is we have to live with people and sometimes people say the craziest things.i would not stand up in a room full of white people and say derogatory things, because i would not want the shoe to be on the other foot. and im with you his career is totally over.

I hate the way the word is misused as well.  Seems people think it's acceptable to be insulting to people with developmental disabilities...but using the word in the way that you mention is no less offensive that using the "N" word or other racial slurs.\n\nAnd a NEWSFLASH for Elronhubbabubba.  You're reply is simply moronic and hateful.  My son has a clinical diagnosis of "mental retardation" as he has Down Syndrome and he is most definitely NOT stupid.  Assuming (and it's a stretch) that YOU have at least an average IQ, I would say that based on your reply, you are the stupid one.

Thank you.\n\nAlso, they fail to realize how many blacks dislike that word.\n\nNotice how they focus on the thugs and gangsters?\n\nI suppose they think that all of us act that way too.......

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.

It's just a nickname from a show or a movie if I recall. It is a ghetto name we use to be funny, to make fun of the different types of crazy ghetto names peple have

Because he said n***er... you don't use that word in a comic act. And if you think that was part of the act, you must not ahve seent he video if it. He defffffinitely lost his temper. I get pissed at black people, but I don't call them n***ers. Plus he never personally never apologized. There's a difference between n***er and n***a too.. but he said the first one and said that this was 50 years ago he'd be in chains or some stuff. He got heckled and lost it. The heckler should not have been heckling and Micheal should not have lost it like that. Both were wrong in this case in my opinion.

I find that it's like the "N" word.  They use it all the time, but if you do, you are being "insensitive".

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, before answering your question, I was watching Dave Chappel's Show ( You know how much he mentions about the N word). \n\nN-i-g-g-e-r, or the N-word is a controversial term used in many to refer to people of African descent. During the chattel enslavement of Africans, it was once the standard, casual English term for black people.\n\nThe word "N-i-g-g-e-r" originates from the Dutch and German "neger," which is their translation for  "negro", which comes directly from Latin "nigrum". The English distorted neger to "negar" to "n-i-g-g-e-r."

no one should say it, it's derogatory, but we get more when a white person says it than a black person because of the history behind the word. it was used to humiliate and honestly it still does. I don't use it and I get pissed when anyone calls me that.

I think the N word is very crass for both blacks and whites,and it should be taken out of the vocabulary of every person on earth!I dont think its cool and everyone should stop using it.And to answer your question why do you care if blacks use it verses whites?I mean just because they are talking with dirty mouths doesnt mean you have to stoop to that level.Just dont use the words,and ignore others who do! they are not nice at all coming from anyones mouth whether,black,white,mexican,chinese u name it...its just racist slang and its just plain rude.

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.
