2017-10-11 14:52:57 UTC

2017-10-11 14:53:05 UTC

`In the present-day English language, the word nigger is an ethnic slur, usually directed at black people. The word originated as a neutral term referring to people with black skin,[1] as a variation of the Spanish and Portuguese noun negro, a descendant of the Latin adjective niger (meaning the color "black").[2] It was often used derogatorily, and by the mid-twentieth century, particularly in the United States, its usage became unambiguously a pejorative, racist insult. Accordingly, it began to disappear from popular culture, and its continued inclusion in classic works of literature has sparked controversy. Because the term is considered extremely offensive, published written media often replace it with the euphemism "the N-word".`

might as well rename history to "hitler is bad and heres why"

2017-10-11 14:55:43 UTC  

it originated as a word referring to people as black skin

2017-10-11 14:55:52 UTC  

but due to its historical context and the context it was used in

2017-10-11 14:55:53 UTC  

yep

2017-10-11 14:56:05 UTC  

it became a racial insult, but the word has the same meaning

2017-10-11 14:56:13 UTC  

it is still a word used to describe black people

2017-10-11 14:56:21 UTC  

just much more derogatory due to its historical context

2017-10-11 14:56:29 UTC  

that all leads to things like blacks callin each other nigger or nigga

2017-10-11 14:56:52 UTC  

i dont know why black culture thought it was acceptable to call each others niggers

2017-10-11 14:57:00 UTC  

because they think its funny

2017-10-11 14:57:01 UTC  

but i dont know just let them do what they want

2017-10-11 14:57:06 UTC  

yep

2017-10-11 14:57:17 UTC  

no reason to control them

2017-10-11 14:57:23 UTC  

and no reason to control others either

2017-10-11 14:57:28 UTC

2017-10-11 14:57:30 UTC  

Black people using the word nigger or nigga among themselves is bullshit

2017-10-11 14:57:59 UTC

2017-10-11 14:58:26 UTC

2017-10-11 14:58:31 UTC

2017-10-11 14:59:38 UTC  

To quote Iddubbz - "Either all of it is okay, or none of if is okay" So if you're gonna condem people for using the n word, then don't use it at all

2017-10-11 14:59:39 UTC  

i laughed when a black person had tried to tell someone to shut up with the reasoning that their ancestors had not gone through as much suffering as blacks
