-If you do, Please why? I really wanna know! I've been attacked by a few people on here about me calling them "Niggas". One even said he was gonna report me to the moderator! , ( ) I have no problem with the word at all. So, yh, lets squash this! |

I'm surprised they even know what it means. it's probably a generational thing. TV and the internet are to blame. |

Nigger is the word the white folks use to describe any black slaves in those days of slave trade & nigerian ppl don't want that word just because they haven't trade any of their family for slavery before lol |

Nigga = ignorant black person, eg Sani Abacha, Lil wayne, Flava Flav. Negro = a black person, eg Nelson Mandela, Morris Chestnut. |

Re: Do You Find The Word "nigga" Offensive? by BABE3: 1:03am On Apr 01, 2011 |
^^^lmao! that your picture is fine sha! The thing is that, when I call people, and I mean people (Nigerian/africans friends, chinese, Akata, and white) "Nigga" they never find it offensive.(Maybe its because they're my friends ). I think the only situation where it can be considered offensive is when, a white person calls an akata, Nigga. (You know, because of the history), But, as for the rest of us, what's biting us? Why are we so hyped up about the word? I just don't get it! |

Nigger/negro has the same connotation, however for some reason some blacks in america still prefer the word negro, to me calling yourself a nigger is just as bad a a woman calling herself a biiitch, it truly irks me to the bones when i hear people saying "wassup my nigga" |

The word "Nigga" / "Nigger" originally means Slave. I saw it on a documentary. |
Re: Do You Find The Word "nigga" Offensive? by Tosinville(m): 1:26am On Apr 01, 2011 |
Babe! Sincerely, not all blacks likes the word "nigger" most especially those from africa but i think akata(s) are alright with it & i think some grown, decent and educated akata(s) won't tolerate the word "nigger" from you. |
Re: Do You Find The Word "nigga" Offensive? by Nekai(f): 1:37am On Apr 01, 2011 |
(OT, but Nigger/akata=same thing?) In conversation I've heard people say, "Nigga please," or "That's my nigga." In most cases it is slightly derrogatory, much like saying "You dey craze." Depending on who you say it too and when you say it, the word "nigga" can be offensive, or can be joking around. Personally I wouldn't want someone using the word to describe me, or directed at me. |
Re: Do You Find The Word "nigga" Offensive? by BABE3: 1:42am On Apr 01, 2011 |
Tosinville: OLuwaToWorship, I get it! I can't just go around calling my professors Niggas! Anyways, I guess its the level of how serious we take things, that affects if you are gonna find "Nigga" offensive! I don't take things too seriously. (Only God knows how I'm not failing at school, lol). I guess thats why I don't really care If I'm called a Nigga and vice versa! |
Re: Do You Find The Word "nigga" Offensive? by MsPotato(f): 1:46am On Apr 01, 2011 |
When I was studying abroad before, my classmates and I all call each other Nigga. There was even one time me (a chinko) and an Indian guy greet each other calling each otha Nigga and it came to a point that those African Americans and the Africans started laughing at us. Seems like they find it really funny. |
Re: Do You Find The Word "nigga" Offensive? by Tosinville(m): 1:49am On Apr 01, 2011 |

Ms. Potato: hmm seems like u met some people who thought it was, but find those who do not and u shall see how it works out |
Re: Do You Find The Word "nigga" Offensive? by Tosinville(m): 1:56am On Apr 01, 2011 |
^U still here? |
Re: Do You Find The Word "nigga" Offensive? by aminalib(f): 1:59am On Apr 01, 2011 |
yes, u still here too? |
Re: Do You Find The Word "nigga" Offensive? by Tosinville(m): 2:04am On Apr 01, 2011 |
Ms.Potato Aminalib is right, don't dare try to play with such word around some black ppl most especially the african-american cos you won't find the word "nigger" funny anymore cos they prefer calling themselves my nigger rather than any other race saying that cos its like an insult to 'em. |
Re: Do You Find The Word "nigga" Offensive? by Tosinville(m): 2:06am On Apr 01, 2011 |
Aminalib I'm just asking don't try to take it personal, i only ask just because u kept silent for a while thats why. |
Re: Do You Find The Word "nigga" Offensive? by aminalib(f): 2:08am On Apr 01, 2011 |
im not taking anything personal, at all |
Re: Do You Find The Word "nigga" Offensive? by MsPotato(f): 2:09am On Apr 01, 2011 |
Well, the only reason why I played along cause everyone in that school plays along with that word. At times, we dont have to be so staright just because of what other people say. I notice the whole school says that word in the most joking way, so I join in the club. I dont see any harm in that |
Re: Do You Find The Word "nigga" Offensive? by MsPotato(f): 2:11am On Apr 01, 2011 |
Tosinville: Reaaaaallllyyy? Come on now. They are the ones mainly conversing to each other calling each other Nigga. Yet now they take it offensicely? If they dont like it, they should not have talked to each other calling each other Nigga, Wassup Nigga, Yo Nigga !Nigga please," or "That's my nigga and etc etc. . . Did they not say it? |
Re: Do You Find The Word "nigga" Offensive? by Tosinville(m): 2:13am On Apr 01, 2011 |
Aminalib Its alright so you just get back from work? |
