Support NeoGAF

[Demon Lizardman]

My college campus is surrounded by a ghetto and every time I walk into the burger king or taco bell around the area, I will hear somebody call me that word. Now, maybe I haven't looked myself in the mirror lately but I am not a black guy. So, why do they insist on calling my that word? I am more of a honkie or a cracker as they call it. Please help GAF.

 

[Grakl]

Damn, that part made me laugh.

I don't know man, can't say I've run into a similar situation.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Probably meant to call you chicken nugger

 

[Quick]

Why are you ashamed to be called a neogafer?

I hope you meant "NeoGAFfa", and not really "NeoGAFfer".

That's just racist.

My college campus is surrounded by a ghetto

huh.

 

[Demon Lizardman]

I basically was walking to get a drink and somebody yells at me this (Hey N****, can you give me a smoke over here?) And I ran to my room because I hear all sort of events around my campus. I was being dumb for going late at night where most of the crimes here happen like muggings and I was lucky for that not to happen to me.

 

[Agnostic]

It can mean a sign of respect or disrespect. In this situation I'm going with disrespect.

edit: I'm wrong if it is just about a smoke.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

They're dumbasses.

 

[akira28]

don't listen to this man. he's in cahoots with Nightmare Moon, and will probably lead you wrong.

 

[RC]

You're in.

You should not be questioning it, just embrace it and be quiet homie.

Do you go to USC?

This is hilariously adorable.

They're just using it as casual friendly slang.

 

[braves01]

It's respect and trust. I'm white and it's my dream to be somebody's n word.

 

[J10]

Because they can.

There doesn't sound like there's any hostility in that example. More of an acknowledgement

 

[Dark Stalkers]

Are you tall?

It all comes down to inflection. Pretending they are using the word "broheim" and just pay attention to how they call you a broheim.

Is what they are saying closer to "What's up, broheim" or "Fuck you, broheim"?

This is an important detail.

Well then...

 

[lupinko]

At a Trader Joe's once some middle aged white man called me black people, but then again at work some guy thought I was Irish.

 

[Demon Lizardman]

6 foot 3

He's actually the protagonist of a "fish out of water" 80s college comedy movie. And he doesn't even know it.

He probably has tape on his glasses, wears a pocket protector, and his name is Dexter.

i've noticed young people have seemed to lighten up on the use of that word. When I was in High School, if someone used the N-word who wasn't black, you ran for cover. Nowadays I hear white/black/hispanic/asian kids all call each other that like it's no big deal. I can't decide if that's a bad thing or a good thing.

 

[Cameron122]

This thread will be glorious

Depends on the tone

Don't say it back though

you spared that man a lifetime of cirrhosis of the lungs; you're a hero.

No, that's part of the plot. Tomorrow in the cafeteria, the track team will all move to his empty table and demand that he train with them for the big meet next month.

I feel as if the hispanic kids used it more than the black kids in my high school.

 

[Tekniqs]

I used to say "nigga" ALL the time but that was because of the crowd I was with in Kentucky (of all places lol). Ft. Knox as my dad was in the army at the time. My immediate friends were pretty much all black and it just rubbed off. When I moved away, I started using it less and less...now I hardly ever say it
