I don't know, but the better question is why do people try to come up with hypothetical scenarios where it's OK to say the word in the first place? The most hilarious has to be the kid dying of cancer who wants Make a Wish to allow him to say the word XD

Whenever you want, intent matters, words don't. Intent is very important, always the biggest factor, but it's still not very nice and some people will be uncomfortable. Where I live is not a good barometer for it though, as basically every black person seems to be an immigrant from Africa or an adopted Haitian child living with white people. Either way, they have zero cultural connection to that whole mess. --- "message parlor" ? do you mean the post office ? - SlayerX888 ... Copied to Clipboard!

I remember years ago, I played RtCW on Xbox Live with this group of black dudes (who were friends with each other IRL) that kept trying to get me to say it. I figured they were just doing it to screw with me, which was mildly true, but after a while I felt less like the token white guy and more like their friend and gave them what they wanted. They thought it was hilarious and we all had fun together. Breaking down those barriers!
I have a bunch of mixed cousins, so race stuff genuinely means nothing to me. Ironically, one of my East Indian cousins says he "hates gay and brown people" and I always picture that one Chappelle's Show sketch... --- "message parlor" ? do you mean the post office ? - SlayerX888 ...

Personally, I don't give a damn who says it and why they're saying it. If anyone uses the word like my friends and I do, then it's whatever. If someone comes at me and says the word because they hate that I'm half black or just simply wants to be a troll, I just laugh at them and move on. Sticks and stones.
But that's the thing. What you can and can't say without consequences truly depends on who you're saying it around. Someone like me can hear some of the most offensive stuff ever and not care at all. On the flip side, you can stroll into a bar in New York, shout "Yankees suck!" and wind up getting your ass kicked. The real question is "Is possibly getting your ass kicked worth saying the word to you?" ... Copied to Clipboard!

Intent is very important, always the biggest factor, but it's still not very nice and some people will be uncomfortable. It isn't very nice and makes people uncomfortable because of conveyed intent. The word itself is irrelevant, it's the information that's drawn from its use that matters. If a context appears that makes it become a gesture of affection then it becomes well-recieved, and that has happened. --- Scloud posted... Its like he wants two things at the same time. ...

I don't believe it's okay for anyone OF ANY RACE to use the 'n' word. That word has always been a derogatory phrase; so let it die already. It's the same with the C word that Samantha Bee used; both words should die and never be resurrected.

in South Africa they use the K-word instead of the N-word, but it is equally offensive here.
the big difference is that the black people in south africa do not call eachother by the K-word, and so when anyone uses it all of the reasonable people really do shun them for it. --- Is this going to be one of those times when you pretend not to have a plan until the last moment?

Because saying that some races can use a word but not others is literally racist and nobody likes racism except racists, tbh. Golden Road posted... Why do some white people want to use the word so badly, anyway? I don't really get that. Because they hate segregation so much.
