ignorance of some people truly amazes me

Stay out of my business and keep walking...it is not worth your life. And to be honest, something said by some honky you don't even know isn't truly worth even a passing though, so go on.

It is only convenient if you look white.

He then went on to tell me that a black man saying it is worse than a white man saying it. You're making it seem like it's ok for others to use a word that was used to keep your people down. Again his exact words, "If you're around your boys and nobody else, it can be a term of affection. If you're around other people, it's ignorant and rude.".

Well then case closed! If your friend told you it was okay them have at it! In fact, why don't you come on down and bring Rangerscott and who ever else wants to come. I'll take you all out to a few clubs and shot houses I go to. I'm sure that you'll hear black people using the "N" word all night and it'll give you the opportunity to try out your theory. Hey, if anyone gets mad, I'm sure that you telling them that your black Canadian buddy said that it was okay will appease them.

I can't say it enough times, I don't care how many black people tell you that it's okay to call THEM a nigger, nigga, nucka, etc. I don't care how many John Singleton movies or episodes of Dave Chappell you watch, I don't care how many rap songs you listen to...you are not authorized to call me a nigger, period. I know that you want to be able to run the country side calling black people niggers again like in the "good old days"...I'm advising you not to try it, but hey you all seem to feel justified, so have at it. I dare you to walk up to some random group of black people, call them niggers and give them the same argument you're giving me.

Once again, the worst insult in the world can be turned into a endearing pet name when used by the right person, in the right context. That does not mean that anyone gets to use it though. What's so hard to understand about that?

just wondering.

Shit, when was the last time someone called you a "Honky"? Hahahahaahahha! I think the difference is that black people didn't enslave white people in this country for hundreds of years while referring to them as "honkys".... Just a guess...

Depends on the decade. When I was little in the 60s, half breeds were hated by everybody, both parents were sell-outs. In the 70s it lightened up a little bit but there were still factions up north and all out hatred for racial abominations down south. There still is to an extent. The 80s and 90s really started to turn things around and now, shit people are claiming to be mixed that aren't. Qhite frankly, the media has gone a long way towards helping me get laid!!!

Sometimes when I do it I may even be wearing a Cowboy Hat and boots because I like to wear them.

I don't give a flying fuck who gets their little panties in a wad if they over hear me. As a lover of Hip-Hop music I feel empowered to use these terms and have been for at least the past 10 years. Would I go up to a black stranger on the street and call him a nigger? No, because I'm not a fucking idiot. Alas, at the same time I would not go up to a stranger on the street and call him Jewey, spicster, wop, frost bite, homie, home slice, home skillet, homigo, or ho. I was fortunate enough to be raised on how to introduce myself to strangers, lol. Thank God I don't need an internet debate for that...

But, if you're a black person, and you overhear me call my friend a nigga and you're offended....then fuck you. Fuck you and die. Or if you don't want to die then just stop listening and intruding on other people's conversations. I don't care what you think, I don't care what you've been through, I don't give a fuck who your parents were and I definitely don't give a flying rat's ass what you think about society.

Okay....I personally don't care what you and your friends call each other... Have at it! The argument I'm having is that certain people think that they can call black people niggers because black people use the word in the media, music and their everyday lives... I disagree.
