The Bad n word??

Question

ok why can blacks say it to each other and white cant say it to them?

they are just calling each other that

Answer 1

Can't explain it any better than neniaf. As an added note, the term has been used so many times it almost means "buddy" or has become just an ambiguous term for "black person", heck, not even that, it can even refer to other people of other ethnicities in general. Like: "Hey, that's one funny nicca (can't use ****-a because it censors it). You should watch his comedy shows." Within the black community, it s meaning is almost never derogatory, but elsewhere, if you call someone that and you aren't black while he/she is, even affectionately, you better watch out.

Answer 3

Many people (African-Americans, g**s) use words originally used to denigrate them for themselves because they think it will reduce the stigma of the word.  These are words that are extremely painful, because in the past they have only been used by outsiders to degrade them.  They try to remove the sting by using the words in a way that remove the sting - when your best friend, who shares the quality involved in the name, calls you something as an endearment, it takes away some of the hurt (for some people.  I should note that within each of these groups, there are people who are very offended by ANYBODY using these words).  

However, when someone who is NOT part of the group uses the word, it reverts to being one used as a weapon.  Even if the person using it means it as affectionately as did the other Black (or g*y, or Jewish, or whatever) person, they are using the word in a way that it cannot be used on them.  It becomes a negative term just because it is being used by an outsider, just as it originally was.

Answer 4

this is an identity problem. if this is the way they talk to each other, let them. If they know, that it is getting to you, they will do it even more, just to hassel you. blow it off, be at peace with yourself.
