Who does that?
If your black friends want to say it, let them. Who the fuck are you to act like you know better. White people love scolding and wagging their fingers at blacks and other minorities on how to act "properly" and what is/isn't permissible, from music to language. I don't care if you have 1 black friend or 100. You're an OUTSIDER and obviously have no greater insight into their culture and customs and should quietly fuck off rather than dictating your holier-than-thou bullshit at something you don't understand.

Like it was put before, No one uses the word Nigger. White people stuck in the past still use that word and yes, it would piss of a black person. it someone called him that. Black people don't call each other nigger, they say the word nigga.

Nigga is a black person with a gold chain around his neck"

That nigga Tim is trippin.
So if you don't say it what do you say when black people say it to you?
What are you even talking about?!
He posted this:
Plenty of racist use the word nigger and we are discussing it's usage by white people and their weird desire to say it free of consequence.

Wizard please.
Gah. Flashing back to when people thought using "ninja" was cute and non-obvious.
maybe you misunderstood him. Did he truly stress the "R". Maybe he was pressing you to be "that nigga".

I know this has already been addressed but as you replied to me I feel obligated to point out how utterly stupid it is to presume to label my experiences "bullshit" as a black person living in America based off of however the hell things are in the UK.
Clearly, I wasn't talking about the United Kingdom.

White people are not allowed to say it. At all. Blame your ancestors for being slave owners.

So Louis C.K. CAN say the word because he just happens to be a currently popular/active comedian and not a comedian from the 90's? I love your logic!

that's not logic, he's just pointing out The Way Things Are
Fuck out of here with that shit. It is not a term of endearment if you are not black.
I know a lot of people desperately want to be able to use it because black people say it and it is so unfair that no one else can but boo fucking hoo.
Here is a quote from another board explaining why black people don't like other races using the word.

To me nigger and nigga are the same thing if said by someone who isn't black. I don't use nigga and I really don't like that other black people use it as a term of endearment but it means a very different thing coming out of a person's mouth who isn't black.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
I see the difference being that Louis C.K. didn't try to legitimately have a debate over whether he or other white people can say "nigger.' It was a bit that played on the taboo nature of the word and the fact that cranky conservatives like to ask about why they can't say it.

Fuck out of here with the taking out of context. It is not useful because I stop reading after that.

Oh it was definitely the "er" variety. He was very passionate about it.

Anyway Louis C.K is overrated, I don't get GAF's obsession with the guy, let's not waste any more time on him... Give him two more years and he'll be opening up at strip malls in Kentucky for comedians half his age...there I said it, lets move on.
I have a Haitian co-worker: And when I say Haitian, I mean Haitian... A man who has been in the country for no longer than 8 months, he's here with a work visa and he is like pure Caribbean islander, accent, wardrobe, mannerism and everything...sometimes we go to the bar after work, we hang out here and there, not best of friends, but he is a quiet guy and talks to me most of the time and not to too many other people at work...
Anyway when the conversation turns to comedy and we are cracking jokes, he'll sometimes laugh and call me "ma'nigga!" After the third time he called me that, it only seemed natural for me to call him that back in a similar circumstance... Like when he did something nice, or said something funny, "my nigga'" almost slipped out of my tongue, it just, I felt too comfortable to say it to him.. But then I realized that is some dangerous ground to walk on... So yeah, long story short, I had to compose myself better hanging around him and not get too comfortable to use that kinda language.

.....that's just confusing...
Exactly. It was the "offensive" use of the word but he wanted MORE of me. He was also yelling in the street right after so he was either drunk or insane.
Noegaf is liberal on every other issue. To the communities credit though, I think vocal minority who usually won't take part in other political discussions just feel compelled to speak on racism because 'they're tired of hearing about it'
Yup, telling people with different cultural experiences and mannerisms how to behave based on your own narrow ideals. Real fucking brave.
There is no context where it would be okay for you to call a black person a nigger or nigga if you aren't black.
Term of endearment or not, you shouldn't be calling black people that at all.
The man was a radical.

context!!! to use within context.
You can't just Paula Dean the word to talk down black people, that's racism.
But if you George Carlin the word into context, than that works.

He's got a fever and the only thing that will solve it is more niggers. Can I just ask why so many people want to be able to say the word without any consequence?
