This is worst worst worst worst retort ever. I get sick of seeing it. When black people use the word Nigga, it does have the same connotation of the term Nigger. To make it a little more clear to non black people - Nigga is a refurbish of the word Nigger; it is not the same word. You are correct that non black people use the word nigga, and whether that flies depends on the group but Nigger is always wrong.

and yes I meant kike.

1. I have definitely heard black people using both variations of the word. The usage is different, but in neither case were they generally offended. If you think it's always wrong, that's your opinion. I take no position on the matter. But, some people disagree with you.

More importantly though, the issue here is intent. I recognize that the n word is far more powerful that white boy. That's why I'm not actually typing it out. But, that doesn't necessarily make using the word worse.

2.Take two situations where someone is upset. One is a white person angry at a black person, the other is the other way around. In both cases they reach for the harshest word they can find. There just so happens to be a word that one can use against black people that is more offensive than any of the words that can be applied to white people.

Does that mean the white person did something worse, or should be more harshly punished? In my opinion, no. The intent was the same.

1. Nigger being wrong is not an opinion. Says a lot about you that you think that it is. Why would punishment be equal? One is a racial slur; the other is not. If someone was shoved and the shoved person came back  and beat the shover over head with brick... should punishment be equal?

2.I have to disagree here. Do you know why? because he could have said cracker, honkey, white trash or some other actual slur used against white people but he did not. Why are you making white boy mean something like either of those terms, when he could have just said those terms?
