White people will be allowed to use the word when both blacks and whites are on an even playing field. That obviously is not the case, not in America, not in South Africa, not in Brazil, not anywhere. Blacks the world over are still oppressed in one way or another, be it genocide through violence or genocide through laws restricting us the same rights as others simply because of skin color. Steps have to made to erradicate the social ills we face in the race issue, but the problem has yet to be solved. Since we are still at the bottom, we still retain that word as ours. When we get what's rightfully ours (freedom), then we can discuss what you can and cannot say.

i sort of did lol!:

but yeah, i don't feel that i should ever use that term unless i am using it in quoting or talking about it's origins.

i agree. however, with the fact that the term is being weakened every day, we can see that things are progressing, albeit far too slow. i am just suggesting that we don't complain that it is becoming more acceptable because it is only indicative of the times changing for the better.

you said EVERYTHING about that word... except that word. lol

we had a 'White Australia Policy' spanning from 1901 to 1975. Preventing any race other than white to be allowed to set foot on Australian Soil.
The aboriginals have and still are extremely mistreated. Before Foundation many aboriginal children were taken from their familes and used as slaves. at some point the white people of the late 1800's to 1940's tried to kill off the entire race of native aboriginals from australia by forcing them off cliffs.

so pretty much all the racial slurrs towards them have a very fresh history behind them. so i dont plan on going up to an aboriginal and calling him anything because i kinda like my head situated on my neck

what ?? LMAO complete freedom ?? the whole working class is chained and you talking about complete freedom in the US LOL nobody has freedom

Most post colonial countries are based on a racist infrastructure inherited from past generations you can't say any minority or black person has freedom when he/she is living in a country that doesn't redistribute social wealth to black communities . A new country deprived of racist prerogatives and deprived of the phenomena of " racism " can be abolished in the same time whit capitalism which created it . If you observed only now whit the rise of moderate left wing populist politics in the US racism eased . If we want to get rid of racism we must get rid of everything from how we treat each other how we shit to how we conduct or economic arrangements .

150? Try 30 years ago. The main point of discussion is the word nigger, and it was used in America to belittle blacks all the time well into the 70's. Not to say the word died in the 80s, was and is still used to belittle blacks just not as often as it was back then. Now the extreme mistreatment, beatings, and killings of blacks; I'd say that started to stop around 1940-1950, near the Emmit Till incident. far from 150 years ago homie. This is my family you're telling to me to get over. those who were strung up, beaten, cheated, never defended, teased, reticuled, raped, tortured and burned. can never, will never, and should never be forgotten. it's american history and some portions of history cannot be told with a smile.

Also how do you think blacks should think of the history of there ancestors? How can we not overreact?

You don't sound like a bigot, just misinformed.

you obviously don't know what the hell you're talking about !!!!

go ride some half pipes and rails and stick to what you know, skater boy !!!!!
