so nigger =/= nigga, right?

what is nigger?

what is nigga?

why is it ok for just black people to say either?

isn't that like being racist to yourselves?

how mad will you get if a white person says it like a black person would?

as an insult?

it makes me feel uncomfortable when black people say it, because I feel like suddenly blacks and whites are different people now. when really we're no different. it's like blacks segregating themselves.

discuss.

no, it makes you AWARE that blacks and whites are different people  in that they have been treated differently by society for the last 500 years and continue to be treated separately today. There's nothing sudden about it, only the fact that you have to check the comfort you get to feel every day being part of the majority and feeling that pretty much every space is your space to be safe.

Thats why its so damn confusing.
theres this massive arguement (not really, I just wanted to sound special) that they can call each other nigger, and we can't.
They see it as racist, but technically, if we can't say it, then thats racism against us.
But then we shouldnt really be getting into peoples private convo's anyway....White or black

It's more satire when they do it between themselves. Not all African Americans say it to each other by the way. Many don't even like the word being used in that manner.
