I should've shown this to the couple next to us at the Kanye concert.
Yeah, she's been on all four seasons.Agreed on the sentiment, but yo, fuck this gif. Cuts from a sideways high-five to an overhand high-five. Bad edits get so clear in gif form. Also, is that Janeway!?

Alot of the social norms are really dumb, like small talk for example.
how do you guys feel about Method Man making a crowd of 200 white people yell out "shame on a nigga" over and over again?
happened a few years ago at a Wu show in Helsinki, back then i thought it was fucking funny, Method Man himself was cracking up so badly he fell to the floor laughing pretty much. i didn't participate though, iirc i was just looking around baffled heh.
what if you're brown?
This can't be real.
Da fuck. You don't have the authority to dictate its meaning or intent when used by black people. You don't even bother to recognize that you're discussing essentially two terms.Foul word regardless of the pronunciation or the race the person comes from who says it. The meaning of the word is never diminished regardless of a desire to reclaim it and will always be loaded.
We went over this in the last thread. No.what if you're brown?
Are there any good examples of white people using "nigger" in a context used to express an idea that is historical/satirical/whatever in ultimately positive or thought provoking way?
An example I might use is the Frank Zappa song Nig Biz:

Do you have any idea how it feels to have a white girlfriend and her father calls you a nigger/nigga because you are in love? Do you have any idea how it feels to get pulled out of a police car, your car gets searched and the cop tells you to sit the fuck down nigger/nigga. Do you know how it feels to be in your mostly white neighborhood, you are in love with your girlfriend and your neighbor calls the cops because you are out playing and laughing, they tell you to get your nigger/nigga hands off of her.
Im sure he talked about it before and doesnt. That guy wont let his daughter even look at the art in his albums.Does Eminem, a star rapper that hangs out with a wide group of black rappers ever use the word nigga? Do you, neogaf poster, have more street cred and "Cool White GuyTM" traits then Slim Shady? If not, why do you want to use it so badly?
Yes to these. My lived experience as a Nigerian who moved to the UK, and then to Canada. Don't proceed to tell me what's real either.
I also understand the gravitas of the word, and how we reclaimed it. So here we are.
I think you're expanding the concept of the thread into more horizons,Yeah. And what if you're not American but love American music? I have a list of entire countries with youth who say it with zeal and respect.
What if your whole urban area uses it endearingly? What if the whitest kid grew up in Jackson, MI and was influenced by their surroundings? Is he going to get yelled at by a passing tourist?
In fact, as the years go by, mixed children will the dominating demographic. How much of a percentage are we talking about here in order for club membership?
I think there's too many things in the world to take offense at. Choose what you want to be cerebral about. If you're smart enough to accept some people will say it without ill will, and if it's spoken in an appropriate environment, then you're smart enough to not escalate the situation.
in the last thread, nobody except TalonJH was actually trying to listen to what I was conveying.We went over this in the last thread. No.
Yes to each point? Come on now.
A lot of black men will coon when pussy is involved, see it all the time.It's funny the amount of non Black women of color I know that primarily date Black men, that use the term all the time.

Zappa provokes bowel movements, not thoughts
Unless the thought was "wow this guys sucks lol"
They already lurking, no need.Great thread.
OP you should send this to buzzfeed.
The OP covers its history of usage, and only addresses why white people shouldn't use it.Nigga wasn't reclaimed for minorities. Nigga was reclaimed by black people for black people. Ao if you aren't black what makes you think you're cool to say it?
Coons be giving them passes. I'm not co with Rican friends anymore for this exact reason.Nigga wasn't reclaimed for minorities. Nigga was reclaimed by black people for black people. Ao if you aren't black what makes you think you're cool to say it?

Cause just because you aren't white, doesn't mean that whatever you are have a delightful history with black people.The OP covers its history of usage, and only addresses why white people shouldn't use it.
So going by the OP's narrative, there's black people and white people, but if you're not black, then why do you automatically fall under white?
Lol @ oppressors not being able to comprehend why they can't say a word like this. I always have and always will consider that trolling. No way you can be that obtuse.

And the context of what was posted? What is it supposed to mean?
Who said I was referring to people on this site?What's with calling random people whose race you don't know on the Internet "oppressors"?

People think we do shit just to be cool and not because there is some kind of meaning behind it. Nobody respects our culture despite the nonstop dick riding, monkey see/monkey do ish.What doesthe opening have to do with what I said? Nigga was not reclaimed so minorities could use it. It was reclaimed by black for black people as a means of empowerment. If you are not black what do you think that word has to do with you? The answer is nothing. So don't use it.
You good.It's heavily implied when you say "lol @" and then make a reference to trolling. People typically do that in threads to passive aggressively target posters indirectly. If I'm wrong I'm wrong, sorry.

What about online? There is no 100% way to know what the person saying the word looks like
