Question
It really bothers me when black people or for that matter anyone uses the N word.
I was walking into Wal-Mart today, when I passed a group of five young black kids. All I heard was N this and you F-ing N. More then once in the short time it took me to get out of ear shot of them.
My question is if it is an offensive word for a white person to say it, what makes it less offensive for a black person to use it?
If I would have been walking past them with some of my white friends and called one of them a N In front of them, I would more then likely would have had to defend myself.

"nigga" is the slang for "censored" used in a friendly way amongst friends. kinda like "yo homie or hey bro"
whilst "censored" is the derogatory and offensive term op speaks of.
One still looks like an ignorant fool using either.
those who do not know the difference are the ignorant ones because they are the ones that get offended.
urbandictionary.com - it's in there like how bostongirl and i explained it, yo.
How do mods come down on the word "faggot" since it means a cigarette in some cultures?
Do you think if either were used by say.... a white person in a position of power.... the media would correctly point out the difference?
The really educated blacks I work with never use either. I generally hear this from the youth and little educated AAs. I'm no fan of Obama, but I'd be even more disappointed with him as a person, as a husband, and as a father if he uses either in private.
That is correct.
In a court of law, I think a judge and jury would see no difference. We can debate that all day long, but they're both racially charged words.
