You know... I don't live in the U.S. so it always baffles me how overly sensitive people over there are to that frigging word. I mean, people keep throwing around the word "Motherf$4er" and nobody bats an eye. But the minute the word "Nigga" comes around everybody want to lose their shit. And I'm here asking myself: "wait, why do people care more about someone insulting their race than someone insulting their own mother? It just doesn't make sense to me.
And yeah, I know the word has a bad connotation because thats how the old racist masters used to call their slaves. But in my eyes the words motherf$4er, coc$&er, fa$4ot, heck even "loser" have a worst connotation than that.

I guess you aren't of african descent, right?!

You are wrong. I AM of african descent. But I still don't see how insulting my race could be worse than, say, calling my mother a bitch (son of a bitch is another phrase that I see people throwing around like it is nothing).
Maybe I just see racism from a different perspective. You see, if you think that you are better than someone else based only on your race, then I think you're just stupid. And stupid people don't deserve my attention nor my time.
But like I said, I have noticed that in the U.S. there is an oversensibilization to anything race related that is not present in other parts of the world.
