If whites made the word nigger and blacks are offended by it, why do blacks consider it a word for black

**Do you understand what I just said or do I need to explain it, nigger?**

Ok, let me tell you a story

That doesn’t make any sense @Rhenic

black people use it around other black people because it's 'reclaiming the word from its original meaning' white people who are still in a position of power cannot reclaim the word

if racism didn't exist in modern society i would see your point

White people made the word nigger and blacks don’t like it. They can just ignore it

The original meaning was a slang term for the Portuguese word for black

._.

They saw black people and used the slang term to name them.

Portugese are white tho

but now look where it has gone 🤔

BLACK COLOUR

Back in the 50’s, my grandfathers best friend was a black man, and he called him “Nig” and Nig called him “Kraut” and “Crack”

but it was used in slavery to degrade people and is still used to degrade people

And they never got offended with each other

You're changing the subject, it isn't "reclaiming" it's "enforcing".

thats anecdotal evidence it gives fuck all

So what gives?

to the narrative

It’s a word why do people get so offended by it lol

>reclaiming

lol what

because of the history of the word

Y’all using it to degrade people proves yourselves wrong

Jheez

niggers just means homies now

Unless I say “hang all niggers” why take it offensively

it's 2018

We don't use it to degrade people though LOL

I LITERALLY EXPLAINED RHIS

@AlGoreRhythm yes

LOL

Lemme get it again

I mean, using *does*

I don’t run around calling blacks nigger because they’re black

Like “My Nigga”

amongst black people yes because they are not in the same power position as whites. they're reclaiming while whites use it to degrade 🤔

**The real racists are people who think nigger is racist because they are giving the word a racist value and thus makes it racist and them racist. If it was not used in a racist way, nor seen as racist, it would have no racist value and thus not be used for racism and thus not racist **

I call my white friends nigger xd

your logic is dumb lol
