Use of the word "nigger"

this word carrys the burden of a really dark time in america for african american people and whites alike. In my opinion it is a hateful word that left its definition in the dictionary many many decades ago. A whole lot of tyranny and abuse lingers on the use of this word, and somehow this generation embraces it. I have heard it used to refer a friend, in all sorts of ways today. Bottom line is this word needs to be buried and forgotten because simply we as humans will make mistakes in history but certainly have the ability to evolve in the future. I think today we for the majority see one another as equal, therefor a slightly educated person would have no need to use this word.
nigger= bastardisation of the word negro, simple. Read more into it if you want.

This thread got me thinking about racist jokes.So I looked up white people jokes.And, being a white person, I found them rather funny and shall now post them. Q: What's Orange White and Very Beautiful
A: A WHITE BOY ON FIRE!


Q: What does a white woman make for dinner?
A: Reservations.

Q: What did the white man do before his blood test?
A: He studied.




Why did white people own slaves?
They were not strong enough to pick cotton - weak bastards.

Why cant white men jump?
They were too busy making racist jokes.


A seventy-five year old White guy, his hair was completely white, marries a twenty-two year old girl, and she gets pregnant.

Nine months later, he walks into the Maternity Ward. He says to the nurse, "Well, how'd I do?"

The nurse says: "She had twins."

He says, "Heh, heh, heh...well, I guess that goes to show, that even if there's snow on the roof, there can still be fire in the furnace."

She says, "Well, then you'd better change filters. Both of the babies are black."

MoePunn ...

As I said in a previous post ... the "N" word isn't in my vocabulary. I was raised by a Mom who was from the South and prejudiced toward Blacks. Growing up in Los Angeles during the 1940s, I remember adult Black men doing the "Step & Fetch It" routine ... and calling me, a seven year old kid, sir. This shit never computed with me at all. I remember as a Junior High kid, sitting at a diner counter having a burger. I put a quarter in the jukebox and selected five tunes, all by guys like Earl Bostic, Big Jay McNeely and Joe Houston. Two Black adult men were sitting in the booth behind me having a cup of coffee. Some asshole at the end of the counter said: "Hey! Do we have to listen to that Jigaboo music? The owner called the cops thinking the two Black guys were disturbing his customers with the music. Guess he didn't see me put the money in the jukebox. Anyway, two cops showed up and started to hassle the two Black guys. They took their coffee cups and smelled them, thinking they may have poured booze into them. The cops asked the two guys to leave. With that, I GOT PISSED OFF and told the cops and the owner behind the counter off. I started spouting off about liberty and the Constitution and individual rights. Yep, even then, fourteen years old, I was telling these two fucker cops that they were working for those two Black guys and not the other way around. I guess they listened, because they left and the two Black guys finished their coffee. They smiled at me when as the left the cafe. I kept boogying to the sounds of Joe Houston.

Man, to this day I love that music. :)

But then again, I'm not White ... I'm Italian. :mrgreen:

My Mother was one of the few white people who marched on Selma Alabama with Dr. King. You can imagine what would happen if that word was used in my house.
Personally I think it's an ugly word that should never be used in a polite enlightened society.
Racism in any form should be frowned on.

Agreed. The word belongs in the dustbin of history with the swastika.

Anyone using it is ignorant regardless of their skin color.

A couple attending an art exhibition at the National Gallery in DC was
staring at a portrait that had them completely confused. The painting
depicted three very black and totally naked men sitting on a park bench.
Two of the figures had black weenies, but the one in the middle had a pink
weenie.

The curator of the gallery realized that they were having trouble
interpreting the painting and offered his assessment. He went on for
nearly half an hour explaining how it depicted the sexual emasculation of
African-Americans in a predominately white, patriarchal society. 'In fact,'
he pointed out,
'some serious critics believe that the pink weenie also reflects the
cultural and sociological
oppression experienced by gay men in contemporary society.'

After the curator left, a young man in a Kentucky T-shirt approached the
couple and said, 'Would you like to know what the painting is really
about?'

'Now why would you claim to be more of an expert than the curator of the
gallery?' asked the couple.

'Because I'm the guy who painted it,' he replied. 'In fact, there are no
African-Americans depicted at all. They're just three Kentucky coal
miners, and the guy in the middle went home for lunch.''

I think we should ban all of Mark Twain's literature that involves the character "Nigger Jim".

hahahahahahahahah man, i think its funny u started this thread, the word nigger, i only use to describe a bitchass black boy. nig, i use with my home boys, shows a kinda brotherlyness if i would say. i think its funny also how black dudes say cracker and white boy and all that other shit, but if you call em black boy or porch monkey, they get mad, you cant get mad at that shit if u gonna call some dude white boy and expect him not to call u black boy back. and if u do get upset with that, then u can go suck a dick nigger cuz thats what you are. and deserved to get the shit beat out of u. and if a white dude were to do it, then u are nothin but a fuckin ignorant red neck honkey. say w/e but dont get upset with the shit.....man ur wantin me to start a new thread about this one...damn im high and forgot that quick...lmfao ill remember it later...AH! i remember!

ps. im not even close to being racist aint no difference in people, people are just people, same body parts, same air u breathe, dont let the color get in the way. i like everyone! peace bitches, and a lil bit of bud every now and then.

is it okay to say niggiz? because thats what it sounds like lots of people say, I think this is a whole new bread of nigger, the likes of which we've never seen before, and are definetly not mature enough to handle. its true...

for arguments sake, lets just say its not okay to say nigger, or nigga, or nigs or anything like this, wouldn't eventualy the countries niger, and nigeria have to change their names since their so similar in sound, its obviously the combination of sounds that offends soo many! because its obviously not the meaning since the word is hardly ever used negativly, at least not here.
and might I add, I find that other racial slirs are much more offensive because they are hardly ever used in any way other than a negative one.

If you aren't mature enough to handle the huge :P responsibility of a controversial word than how do you get along in life? I mean come on guy! its just a word, it only means what you believe it means, and if you happen to believe it to be a terrible hateful word, you can change that, right now.
we see words that were once taboo or even forbidden used in everyday language, even in elementary schools, some words that at one time could land you in seriouse trouble will just sound silly because its just a word, with a meaning that is disconected from it.
lets take a relativly new one, less than a century ago the term BOY was as bad as nigger, if not worse, now the younger people call their friends their boys, DAMN IT! they might as well just call them their niggas! after all their are still a few people who find it to be a terrible word.
the very same thing will eventualy happen with nigger, and may have even happen by now if their werent people like Al sharpton and other nuts that feel it necessary to tell other people of the way they interpret the meaning of this word, which just strengthens it.
SO if you dont like the word nigger, forget it exists, or add it to your vocabulary because anything else you do only works against you.

some people believe that calling your friends nigger was a way of taking power away from the word, much in the same way that JFK was called a jackass and turned around and made it the symbol of the democratic party.
see how he used common sense to turn a negative into a positive ( or at least a neutral)

Thats a great story Redd, too bad aint more of them in the world...

depicted three very black and totally naked men sitting on a park bench.
Two of the figures had black weenies, but the one in the middle had a pink

nearly half an hour explaining how it depicted the sexual emasculation of
African-Americans in a predominately white, patriarchal society. 'In fact,'
he pointed out,
'some serious critics believe that the pink weenie also reflects the

After the curator left, a young man in a Kentucky T-shirt approached the

'Because I'm the guy who painted it,' he replied. 'In fact, there are no
African-Americans depicted at all. They're just three Kentucky coal
miners, and the guy in the middle went home for lunch.''


This is classic... Great example of just how much the so-called experts know but they should have known they weren't really black because we don't have weenies we have meat whistles :clap:


Real quick story my God Son is white his pic is attached (thats a pic of him and one of my brothers) now I have him all the time and have since he was old enough to walk... And I love taking him out in public because when you see a white person/couple with a little black kid people act like they just saved the world and lowered the crime rate but 10% like the only thing that little nigga kid was good for before those white people got a hold of him was robbing the 7/11. So anyways we get some the dirtiest looks like what the hell is that lil white kid doing over there with them Niggaz... Its great because I am an adjudicator and I love to see the responses and the looks on peoples faces... Priceless Funny is this one time a sweet little old white lady stopped Austin (my Godson) this one time and asked him if he was lost or if the people he was with were strangers, I didnt even lean on her (I thought to but I'm like this old lady might have a heart attack if I really get out on her) so I just said yes maaam' Mrs Daisy I'm his driver and I'sa bout to take em' home to his mammy rigth now. Tank yas for checking... Me and Austin laughed our asses off about it rigth afterwards but it was really more sad than anything...
