Who else here besides me freuqnetly uses the 'n-word' (as in niggas/niggaz)? BE HONEST!

Supposedly I've been saying niggas/niggaz since I was like five, so needless to say, we know each other quite well. I've went through several nigga-less periods (when I didn't utter nigga or call people niggas) but I always end up back 'home' sooner or later. They were when hurricane Katrina struck and when Obama won the presidency, but then while I was watching the inauguration, I go so excited and was like 'that's my nigga Obama; Nigbama!!!' in a room with senior citizens and a few kids (sad I know).... So people who used to say 'nigga' a lot, how'd you stop or cut it down? It's like, saying 'nigga' completes me or something...lol.

You will never hear me call another human being that word. I've used it, of course, to make a point or to tell a joke. But, you will never hear me call another Black man , woman or child that word. I don't understand Black folks that insist on using it. No matter how they rationalize it, it's stupid and destructive.

I used to say that word like it was attached to my left toe. I've decided to stop sayin the word(except on occasion) because white people don't know the difference bet. an educated brotha or sista and some ghetto trash whose collecting a check everyth month. Between us who listen to alternative and people who go brain dead on BET everyday. We are all niggers to themm and I think that we shouln't put down our brothers and sisters just because they don't feel the same music we do. I was called a "white boy" by my family and I responded by hating black people and using the N-word against them. So therefore, I am against the usage of the word by anyone, especially black people who wished they could be white. That's never gonna to happen because to them, we are all NIGGERS!

I haven't used the word in five years, and I plan to keep it that way, as well with other slurs of any kind that would show disrespect to any man or woman about their ethnicity.

If I am talking about some ghetto ass folk I refer to them as 'the neeeegggroooooeeeezzzzz'

The only time I say it is when I am listening to that song 'Sukka Nigga' cause it's the lyric and some NWA. But in my conversation, I usually steer cleer. I might type NGA on here from time to time, so that counts I guess.

You know I have noticed that contrast as well. I lived in a predominantly white area for many years, and didn't really have the need to say it. But then white kids started bustin it out, and I would have to tell them not to say it around me. But when you are around old heads, and around all black folks that word gets passed around like a joint. I still say negroes.

I grew up using it. There was absolutely no problem from anyone I encountered, however, the place I grew up was the chocolaty city of Detroit Michigan. There were almost no white people in sight to get mad that they couldn't say it (without being lynched). Then I moved to Florida. So many shiny happy white people around. I dare not utter it, for fear they'll get too familiar too fast with me.

I'm not gonna lie: I say nigga a lot. Like...a lot, but only when I'm around my niggas. I've always considered it a cultural thing. Like when some older Jewish people get together and they speak yiddish. When around my peers, we switch to more comfortable colloquial speech patterns. "Nigga" just happens to be one of the words that we're all very comfortable with

I use Nigga quite often and some of my friends do to, white or black. Now, I caution them on it if they use it in anger or say Nigger. IMO, they are different. Thats just me though. I understand that different people oppose my thoughts on those words. Saying they are one in the same.

I use it in the proper dictionary terminology when extremely angered. Guilty as charged. Then again, I'll throw out ANY racial slur that the situation warrants when properly angered.
