Listen to him talking about visiting Africa. It’s amazing.

I agree

If you put aside the derogatory nature of that word for five seconds you’d realize that it is a slang term for Negro, meaning black person.

And you’re saying it’s funny that black people are saying a term that literally means black person? At least when they say it towards other black people they are not demonizing each other. Funny that

I am white what dose it mean when i say it

Depends on who you’re saying it to.

If you’re saying it to a black person you’re simply antagonizing them based on a historical, and even modern day, reminder of how that word is was meant to insult, degrade, and dehumanize a person of color when spoken by a white person who, in some cases even now, believe they are the superior race.

If you’re saying it to a white person you’re using the word as a means to insult by saying they are a black person, and as a result showing racism for saying through that word that a black person is a lesser being.

Black people mean neither when they say the term to one another.

So if I say it how do you know what I mean

Go say it around a black person and find out. Just don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Because I’m white

If I have a crooked nose and you have a crooked nose but Someone with a straight say you have a crooked nose it is offensive but if I say it it is ok.
