Are you serious?You think a white person using the word nigger is enjoying black culture?White people made  up the word to discriminate against black people and only black people,that is the sole purpose of the word.So the only BS I am seeing is the one your talking. |
It's all about context and intent. In modern black media, "nigger" is often used in a amicable or jokingly fashion, among other ways, it obviously can mean different things in different contexts. Think about hip hop, movies, street culture, etc. I myself am from the Netherlands and the word has less negative connotations then in the USA probably. Black dudes call eachother "nigga" all the time, and even white dudes call eachother that as a replacement for "dude" or "bro".
White people enjoying black culture "hip hop, movies, etc." do use those terms in a positive fashion. To me, that is a much stronger weapon against racism than straight up banning words without taking context into consideration. The latter is a surefire way to frustrate well-willing people who are as much against racism as you are.
