Near my window

I know they don't like me
But it hasn't come to this

Oga be calming down. My white wife and friends call me nigga all the time. Strangers I don't know say to me "what's up nigga" And I reply "I'm good ma wigga, you good". This is 2021, the word " Nigga" Doesn't necessarily have to be an insult.

Your white wife and white friends?

I can't see a white guy calling me a nigga tho... I don't care the sort of relationship we have...

Do you call your white wife a cracker?

This is 2021!!! The word is still offensive with the loads of racist still breathing...

Modified: I just read you call whites wigga...

Insane dynamic!!!

A sensitive topic if you are in the US/Canada, brother.

Immigrants don't have issues being called that. However, let's not invalidate the experiences or perception of blacks born into the system whose history is rooted in slavery. The views are very different. My parents are first generation Immigrants, they don't care what you call them. Therefore, I also don't care about it. But many of my black friends will take offense to that and that's very understandable. I mean, if the word was used to insult or ridicule your grandfather and father, you would not wake up in 2021 to say it's now OK to call you that, at least, for your father's sake. Yes, some people are OK with it, but we shouldn't try to force it down the throat of those who aren't. I mean, even if it's just a racial slur that has over time come to become a mere identification, why should one even be called by thier racial identity? Even with all the associated privileges, a white man wouldn't still want to be called "hey, white man".

As an Immigrant, you were never in any way impacted by that name. So it's a bit unfair to come to the US and tell the blacks here how to react to it. Generally speaking, I am of the opinion that Africans should stop this attitude of telling blacks Americans how to perceive racism. They don't have the black pride we have as Africans. Just a thought.

OP, if they weren't talking to you, why not just mind your business. Like this guy said, they could be talking about thier friend who's okay with it.

Painful as being called nigga

It makes me feel, they look down on black people

I don't mind sharing the pain of my black brothers in the new world

But there is a limit

if the word was so bad, why do black people call each other that?

I don't care what anybody calls me so far as I am in America

Call me nigger, I call u nigger too

One love

One called me nigga,we sat down had a talk,layer he said I'm a real niggi

Its not necessarily word for me...

A black stranger can't call me a nigga... And most of the people I'm familiar with wouldn't say the word.

But if a black person does call me that, I'll feel a lot safer than if the person was white...

I can never know the white person's intentions... could be a racist, could not be...

The worse a black could be is a self-hater... And calling me a nigga as an insult... That's just ridiculous from a black.

I'm glad your parents don't care what people call them cos that's the way it's supposed to be. It's like Nigerians calling Chinese people chinky or chinko. That is racist too, very actually. The word can be used in a racist way and as a sign of love and affection.

We aren't being racist when we call chinese people chinky, it's just a "slang".

When I was younger I got offended when I hear a Caucasian use this word but now that I'm older, It doesn't bother me. If people like, let them call me a monkey, it doesn't define who I am. However, everyone has a right to react differently when called a "nigga".

No white person in their right mind would call a black man a nigga or use it so casually.

I don't know where you live because your experience is very peculiar.

White people that aren't ignorant or racist won't use those words either. Many Chinese will find the words rude and disrespectful.

It is like you are trying hard to fit in to make white people feel better.

You don't know me so how would you say I'm trying to fit in? Why should I be offended by a word? If that's the case, I would be offended everyday of my life. Every Nigerian must be ignorant and racist because we call Chinese people and things chinko. Run along, let the intelligent people have space to express their views


And to answer your question, I live in a town in Europe where you hardly see a black or Asian person.

We aren't talking about Nigerians and racism so stay focused.

My statements are still valid, You are trying hard to fit in. So every excuse of ignorance and racism is fine because you can't be bothered to be offended everyday of your life. You have projected your beliefs on Asians as well when in reality, they find those words offensive.

You won't be the first black man living in the remotest part of Europe. Your experience is peculiar.

No doubt, @Or11 is enlightened! Who dug out the word "Nigga", anyway?

I no get time or energy to argue. Whatever you said, you are right

When you have been calling northerners Aboki did they complain?

Nigga is a short form of, or should I say, A Slang for Negroide.

Negroide is a form of Race (Black Race)

It shouldn't be offensive.

When you call a Caucasian white, it doesn't offend them, why do their own offend us when they call us black.

A case of inferiority complex of the black Race.

All these pussy ass niggars be typing crap, y'all pussy as fvck.

A white man that says the word to me and his getting his hands full and I mean it.

Cos that's how we greet ourselves, don't mean you shove it to my face.

Whether fun or no fun, ama fvck you up gringo.

Are you so uneducated? Nigger was a derogatory term... Is white a racial slurs? The close equivalent to nigger is cracker.. do you call whites that?

The words used on slaves, you think it's inferiority complex to not want it used on you?

Don't call me a nigger, call me black... I can you white...

precisely! A random black person doesn't even have the right to just call me a nigga... Imagine the word coming from a white?!

Well, it can be disrespectful.

But what I'm saying is that, what you call me isn't my problem, it is when I respond to you it becomes my problem.

You can just be walking Down the road, and someone says; "Hey idiot".

If you respond to shun them, that means you an idiot for answering.

But if you ignore the fellow, and continue minding your business. How would that be your headache? The shame would be on the fellow.

So that someone calls you a nigger shouldn't be giving you headache. It is when you responds to the person that proves you are really a nigger.
