The core problem is that a vast majority of white people don't really care what black people want or don't want.

I personally believe no one group of people can "own" words. And nobody should say it at all. Ever. The color of somebody's skin doesn't change the word's meaning or history.

Well, yeah. From the Joyner Lucas song,

"The power in the word is a different sin, we shouldn't say it but we do and that's just how it is. When we use it we know that's just how we greet each other, and when you use it we know there's a double meaning under."

Even if you really don't, you still shouldn't say it.

I don't like anybody saying it, if it's aword that is used by a group of people than other people can use it to. Otherwise don't use it if you think it's a horrible word use by non-black ppl. I am African-American by the way.

I'm brown and I have no intention of using that word and I also wouldn't want black people calling me a nigga.

Let's make this clear.

Your personal friends will get you in trouble if you think you can walk around saying the n-word. Skip the word in songs. Don't try to justify your usage of it. Don't say it.

And some rappers thoughts:

While I'm not going to defend using a slur (you have the right to say it, don't be surprised when people react badly), I was sort of expecting a thread title like "Majority of blacks don't want non-Blacks to say the n-word" to actually have survey results or some science to back it up instead of three lines of opinion and some rappers.

The meaning of words change over the time. And keeping it 100, you won't tell a black person not to say the n-word similar to how you won't tell a gay person not to say the f-word if you are not in those demographics.

If you're genuinely getting bent out of shape at the fact that you aren't "allowed" to say nigga, guess what:

That's 1/1000th of how black people feel about not getting the privileges you do every day of your life.

So, get the hell over it.

Are you black? If not, what you think black people should or shouldn't be doing when it comes to nigger/nigga doesn't matter.

I'd have to be selfhating to be a fan of someone who'd single me out at a concert like that.

You don't want "non black" people to sing along, don't take their money.

I mean, yeah

it's up to black people how they want to use that word and who else gets to use it. they seem to have decided that the er is a no for everyone and the gga is cool for them only. no one else really gets to have an opinion on that tbh. well that's not true, other people can have an opinion it just doesn't matter.

if you're really that bothered by having to skip a word in a song then maybe pause and reflect on how good you have it that that could actually be a thing that bothers you

Hang on.

Are you saying that I can't say a word rappers use in their songs? Even though rappers use in their songs that get popular? If you're making popular songs, you should use inclusive language, because when I'm singing along to a song, I want to say all of the words, damnit.

Yup.

And the top defense is always some inane bullshit about free speech. But here's the thing; say you have a random friend who feels uncomfortable with the use of the word "cunt". Do you A) Say, "oh that's fine dude, I won't say that around you." or do you B) Make a huge stink about a small gesture of courtesy to your friend "infringing" on your free speech?

If you selected B, you're probably a piece of shit, regardless.

Also, this.

It gives me the similar uneasy feeling as an old person using the term "colored". Not necessarily racist, but dated as hell, and hearkens to a more overtly racist era.

Good luck fighting against the newer generation that says nigga. Growing up everybody said it in NYC, and it seems to be a pretty common among middle schoolers to middle twenty year-olds.

Fucking last night my friends were saying I should say just cause it'd be cool to hear me say it, but eff that noise, I'm going to grave having never said that word. The fact some non-black people love saying it pisses me off.

When singing along I tend to just say "fellah" instead. I dunno, it's a good placeholder, though sometimes I worry that usage has some meaning I don't know and I just don't say anything for a beat. Not hard.

This is empirically, factually untrue. Inherent characteristics changes the meanings of words all the time. Ask any linguist

What about Native Americans using the term 'prairie n-word' to refer to themselves?

the bare minimum is don't say it around me or mine, cuz you will get confronted. If your "black friend" doesn't mind it, say it around that nigga, but know your lane.

words have meaning and contexts, and it's up to every well adjusted adult to be able to comport themselves accordingly.
