I don't understand why blacks call eachother the n word but get offended when a white person saids it?

if it bothers you that much then quit saying it . you encourage white people to use it

[quote]you encourage white people to use it[/quote] That’s like saying because you sleep naked in your bed you’re inviting random people on the street to come into your house, take their clothes off, and sleep naked in your bed.

@xvilyz Both of them depend on context. It’s okay for you to sleep in your bed naked, but it’s indecent when someone off the street sleeps naked in your bed. It’s okay for black people to say the n word, but it’s indecent when white people do it.

@xvilyz It’s not offensive when a black person says it because it evokes history of shared trials; however, when a white person uses it, it evokes a history of slavery, racism, and oppression, and white people were on the giving side of that oppression, so it is offensive.

@xvilyz They’re not “offended by their past”, they’re offended by white people using the n word. Any white person that wants to use the n word is a racist.
