when I'm good I'm bad


when I'm bad, I'm better . . . .

I don't understand the obsession of whites to want to openly use that word. It was a word used by slave masters to refer to black slaves.
Why would you want to use it?

I mean, there are certain subtexts, right? When you call someone an asshole the subtext is "Your actions were shitty therefore you're an ass". When you use the N word, it's a reminder to everyone that just heard you use it that whites used to be the slave masters of blacks.

Not only do I think you're wrong but I think the exact opposite is pretty much true.

I'd be willing to bet that in the history of the world there's never been a group of people so obsessed with NOT saying a word as white people are obsessed with not saying nigger.

I'd be willing to be proven wrong about this though.
Is there another word in another culture that causes as much uproar as nigger causes among white people when white people use it?
