I can call my friends Nigga, they are cooI with that. I don't use that word with black people that I am not friends with though. It's a matter of trust, I guess. Altough usually I go with "mano", that in english is alike to "bro"

Right. My opinion on the matter should be well known.

^This.  It isn't that words are used, it's how they are used.

But I'll be a good lad and play along.

Why would you do that? A privileged group gets to use language that gets other users banned. Logic.

I’m not sure what this is supposed mean.

It's okay for some people to use the "N-word", but not others. Why does one group get that privilege.

OR is it that a black person can use and get bombed too?

Nope. It's a double standard. Sorry. White people used it to harm and belittle us for 400 years, and now we took it back.

I'm really devastated for you that this is the case, but life, yaknow.

Adding to clarify:

In the case of this forum, the slur (and others with the same history) won't be allowed unless in a discussion about the words themselves, and even then in moderation. We won't be gatekeeping who can say it and who can't. The rules apply equally to everyone.

I'm saying IRL in the above post.

"Privilege"? Saying the N-word is a privilege? I had no idea you were so envious that it's off limits to you.

LOL, attacking me instead of addressing the issues. Didn't expect more.

Yep. Black privilege. We get to say the n-word and the higher incarceration rates. Plus bonus racism in our every day lives!

And we also get to deal with cunt flaps like you who do this willful ingorance gambit when faced with the idea that the cultural significance and history of a word don't matter when determining what it means when certain people say it.
