How Many Non Blacks Do You Chill With That Use The N Word?

None, but I do think this is a little bit of old people trying to hold on to what was. The fact of the matter is that words and language as a whole change over time. Many of us of a certain age know what the N word means and think about it a certain way. A lot of younger people think differently. To them Nigga and Nigger are literally two different things. This whole "nonblack people using the N word" thing is only going to get more prominent generation by generation. You can't really blame younger people for that. You have to blame our generation for putting that shit out into the public space as pervasively as we did. If we didn't want nonblacks saying the word, we shouldn't have been selling it to them.

Or how about just don't say the word if you're non black?

You can say that and I can say that, but if all the younger people running around here don't feel like that, then the people they associate with won't feel like that.

But like I said, you can't even blame the younger folks. I grew up with cats that called everyone nigga. So if them dudes was running around saying nigga to every white, hispanic, or asian dude they met, what do you think those people came away from that interaction feeling. Like I said before, if we didn't want them saying it, we shouldn't have been saying it around them. In-house shit only works if you keep it in the house.
