Yes. I'll beat the shit, piss, grandchildren..anything you'd like to add, skipper?
You miss the part where the white girl told her she was gonna blow her head off?
I can't tell if you'll beat their grandchildren or beat the grandchildren out of them?
Daddy always told me I played Devil's advocate to much
I could probably run through that town with a DNA scanner and make all of them shut the fuck up.
or at least reduce everything to family squabbles.

DAMN! Wanted to post in that Irish thread. As a youngin, I always saw them as most relatable in American history. Was always glad to meet a true blue Irishman. Unsolicited, like clockwork, they shit on this country's Irish descendants when it comes to their treatment towards people of color. Shame, I feel too anti-Semitic to post..
MOVING THE FUCK ON..
Sounds like a smart man..

Listen, Eddie Munster Afrocious, it's been 30 minutes..you should probably clear this up..
All this talk reminds me of when I was called a "sand-nigger" when I got in a fight/argument with someone. I was taken aback so much I had to find out why, to which the answer was 'because you are from the middle-east'
Then after googling it, II found a chart- which exists for some reason - that has all the different variations...

Really? With the -er? Really? To who?!
I don't say it to folks outside of a few friends I went to college with. And nowadays I rarely use it, even with those friends since we used it as an adjective to describe things we were doing, such as doing 'nigger shit' - an example being loitering in the cafeteria trying to talk to chicks or staying up to 3 AM on Facebook when you had a final in the morning.
As for names, we would prefix each other's name with nigger or add an N to the beginning. A friend we called Ross (his last name) was referred to as nigger Ross about 80% of the times we hung out. A dude who lived on our hall was named Roberto, so he was called Negro Berto. Dude named Jeremiah? Niggermiah. I was called Narett, which was nigger Jarett.
It was part of this whole new thing for me. I was friends with black folks for the first time in my life. I was accepted. I was allowed to be fucking stupid for once without judgment. I was happy. Granted, I didn't know I was having an identity crisis about accepting who I was as a black man. I was willfully ignorant.
It wasn't until my friend Ross began to hate on HBCUs that I realized I felt wrong. Then came the bias towards lighter skinned girls, then the casual hate on what folks would consider things black people do and being torn on what exactly does it mean for black people to be doing such things, and why should anyone hate or speak down upon them or these things.
Another aspect where Ross and I differed was how he apparently was cool with white people calling him nigger. I told him to never do that. It took him years to realize that shit.
As for me, I'm in a strange place about who I am as a black man, but that's a whole expanded post in itself.
But yeah, we used nigger as a form of appropriation. However the context we'd use it in was pretty condescending in retrospect.

I like to imagine Afrocious puts extra emphasis on the -ER, just to make damn sure they know what's up
Fun fact, they used to call black people "smoked Irish" as a way to insult both black and Irish people.

I always say "Hell no" whenever someone asks me if it is cool if they say nigger or nigga around me.
I still remember going to a shop in NYC that had a shirt along the lines of "Of course I'm perfect: I'm Irish" message on it. Store owner refused to sell it to me because I was black (1/2 black, 1/2 white (irish/german) but who the fuck is counting).

Mah dude, A!
A! Not ER!
To be honest, I pretty much never use both. I'm not in the environment for that.
But when I do, A! NOT ER!

I'm gonna watch a few episodes as it comes out, then binge the rest the next day.
Coolio.

That's always safe, cuz you don't wanna have to co-sign that shit forever. Like he might say taht shit around the wrong person, and when the fists start flying he turn around and look at you like "help me out bruh you said it was cool tho ;_;"
Using hard ER with wanton disregard is pretty wild breh. Bad optics no matter how you slice it. But I understand if it's in a satirical super cynical afropessimistic sorta way I guess. But your boy Ross ain't one to joke with like that, he ain't woke. He's probably Internalizing that racism unknowingly, especially if he let's white people call him nigger. I won't even let a white person call me boy.
And that goes for any non black people. I mean anyone can say what they want, but their may be consequences, even if you're black.
This.

Pops, I know! It sucks. I only know that as a 9yo because it was taught to us in gifted classes..they weren't teaching that to everyone else. It made me call my aunt in Manhattan, and have her teach me. She ended up going to the library to read up, and tell me some history that I'd not have heard of otherwise..
I just look at them till they leave
They understand the answer the next time we meet and is never brought up again

Knowing you, you would probably tell him it's cool. Then take him to the most hotepish of hotep get togethers where everyone is somehow Immortal swole, then say "it's cool, you can say it here too."
Then walk the fuck out.

I presume there is pending litigation? If not, the FUCK, brother?? You don't allow shit like this to go unpunished..fuck that..
People that think that because they have a pass from one person means that they can say it to whoever are just dumb.
You may call your girl honeytits or your guy longdick but that don't mean you can say it to anybody. You got a social contract with that one person to call them what you both agree on. It's not fucking rocket science.
I was around 10. It was actually a soul crushing experience at the time. I can laugh about it now, though.

what are your feelings on melmaca vs melmacer, gordon
Yeah I don't let any white person call me boy either or any form of nigga or nigger.
My friend Ross has gotten better considering he now goes to Howard. However he didn't go with any sense of pride or anything. I told him about what Coates wrote about it in his book. Thankfully he understood after a few months.
Being allowed to be black in a predominantly white school (we went to UNC) can have some strange results.
Ross ain't woke or anything. Not completely at least. As for me, there's some things I question, so I can't consider myself woke either.
