What's actually wrong with saying Nigger? What does it even mean? t. studying American folklore at the University of Bonn.
speaking as a fucking communist, no one cares if you say nigger, except the black people who get offended by it. PC culture wars were your creation on the right. you funded both sides of them, in order to divide the public on the basis of race, gender and sexuality. you've cooked everyone's heads to get pissed off and fight with eachother over little words, so they don't think of big problems, like wealthy inequality, endless wars, lack of universal healthcare.those are the things which matter. not culture wars.just the same, i generally don't use the word because i never want to be associated with you people on the right, which immediately happens if anyone uses it. although i have been pushing to bring "faggot" back, lately, and hope that one becomes normalized again anyhow, and my view is these words are better when they're less powerful, and robbed of their taboo and offensiveness.
>>539539802Yeah, but why do -they- care? I don't get it. What are they even mad about?
Oh lawdy, its still legal to say NIGGER here. And also I can say holohoax didn't happen. Fuck yeah freedombros
>>539539854you understand why a black person would be angry about the word. you don't need to pretend you don't understand that. my only point in the post above >>539539802 is to point out that we're not this fervent offense-taking group, with these fragile PC sensibilities, the way the western media intentionally perpetually misrepresents us.
>>539539939Negro just means black. Came from sephardic nigger merchants.
>>539539973cool story, man. you're talking to a guy who doesn't give a fuck about any racial slurs, in one fashion or another, and just wants class war.
>>539539973nigger is a word for black thats why an african country calls themselves nig(g)er
>>539539939Get fucked faggotAlso>black personYou spelled nigger wrong
>>539539512Why is this guy mad?
>>539540216lol, you're pissed to see leftists not falling for your PC culture war bait. and you're scared of what will happen the minute your MSM loses the grip on the narrative of who we are and what we want.horrified at the premise of the world finding out we're not a bunch of militant PC polices, but a bunch of militant crusaders for working class policies and wealth equality.
>>539540216>>539540283>militant PC policesmilitant PC police*
Nigger is a fighting word.If you say nigger and a nigger attacks you and you blow their brains out, you should not be able to claim you were only defending yourself.That is the extent to which the status of the word nigger should be considered by a court of law. Anything beyond that is an overreach and unconstitutional.
>>539539939I do but I don't. It's a nonsensical word and reacting to it despite it being meaningless is dumb. If anything the word gets its power from the reaction it causes because it's a mirroring self-esteem issues that are being compensated through outward violence. I'm not a nigger, why would I care about being called one? I don't even know what a nigger is supposed to be.
>>539540363now the predictable influx of right-wing LARPers, who falsely portray themselves as "leftists" here on /pol/, who want to offset perception i've put forward in my posts about us not being PC police. it's all false flagging from the right, and all fucking deception. this is how the right created this false notion of us as the "PC police" in the first place.
>>539540363What the fuck is a fighting word?
>>539539854It's the only social measure of control blacks can put on Whites.
>>539540434nah, cuz you understand how words work. and how insults work. and how black people aren't exactly living in the best of conditions in America, for whatever reasons you feel those conditions are attributed to (again this, also, is not that important to us as leftists). you're just pretending you don't get basic things in order to double down on your political agenda on the right, per usual.

>>539539512>What does it even mean? "Nigger" means "nigger".
>>539540665one of the best uses ever of the word in comedy, right here.>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0maYbn8ED-A
>>539539512In a sane world, the wrongness of the word "nigger" would depend on how it's used. If you call someone a nigger to insult and degrade them, that is one thing. But if you use it as a word itself, as in "Don't say nigger," that should be something else.But it turns out that it can't even be in the latter way. Instead, we have to say "Don't say the N-word." That's when you know everything is fucked up and everyone needs to be exterminated because there is no hope.
>>539539512
>>539540575Why would you fight someone for using a bad word? What's the plan here, go to prison? To what benefit? Is not like acting irrational will force people to like you. If someone was calling me a nigger I would go: What the fuck did you just say? Then I would catch myself and just walk along and forget about it. You should get into buddhism honestly. Helped me a lot.
>>539540575But what if, like, you're not really saying the word, but using it as an example? Consider the following:>It is not OK to call someone a nigger.Here no one is being called a nigger, and the word isn't even being used. It's more being referred to. But this would not be acceptable. Instead one would have to say:>It is not OK to call someone the N-word.How do we explain why the word "nigger" is not acceptable in this context?
>>539540766What's the mechanics of it anyhow? Is a black guy allowed to say nigger to someone else? If calling a black guy nigger is fighting words than a black guy calling a white guy nigger should be fighting words as well. And what about the mullatos and the high yellows? Are they allowed to say it?
>>539539512This issue is not the word it is how blacks react to it.
Would it be bad if I was working at a restaurant and a customer I couldn't see left without tipping and I went: Well this person was acting really niggardly.
>>539539512It’s a folk magic spell that makes negros go crazy.
>>539540860fuck man, you people on the right just cannot converse with another human being on a fundamentally honest level whatsoever, in any fashion. no one wrote anything to you about justifying "physically fighting over the word". my posts, more or less, were of the opposite sentiments about the word. you just want so bad to continue to pigeonhole leftists as your "PC police" strawman of us, in order to keep yourselves in business, and you won't give it up because if you ever did then no one would ever vote for you anymore.
>>539539512nothing and it means black person being a black person
>>539540487schizo>>539540496It is a legal doctrine that prevents you from claiming self defense.Under normal circumstances if someone attacks you and you hurt them by using reasonable force defending yourself, you cannot be found guilty of the crime of assault or murder because you are entitled to defend yourself.That entitlement does not apply if, prior to being attacked, you said inflammatory things that are reasonably likely to incite violence, like "Your mother might have been the ugliest crackwhore I've ever been with but she was also the most eager." Racial slurs like nigger are typically considered to be fighting words.
>>539540919why the fuck will you people always just pretend everyone you're talking to is your PC strawman of leftists, no matter what? Why can't any of you ever just address our actual points of view on the matter, which were posted very clearly above >>539539802 >>539540064 >>539539939 >>539541055, which clearly convey the notion that we're not the PC police, who are perpetually upset over words, as you perpetually work to misrepresent us as. we're interested in class policies, which benefit the working and the poor, no matter their race.
>>539541233the thing is if you people ever addressed our actual views on this matter, or a million other ones, then people would understand this entire misrepresentation you've built of us was completely false, then no one would ever vote for you.
>>539541233tl;dr
It's unironically a magic word. It has no meaning outside of the magic formula it is employed within a magic ritual.
>>539539512Blacks were referred to as Negroes in official documents through the slave era.Nigger became a pejorative term for them sometime in the slave era and got popular in the civil rights era of the past 80 years. It was created and used by Whites for decades to insult blacks.There is the idea of "taking back" an insult by having the offended group use an insult to refer to themselves. Which is why you hear it in black culture and they don't chimp out.But being the jungle apes they are, they have violent outbursts when they hear it from anyone else and try to claim the violence is to be expected.>>539540496Fighting word is a legal concept stemming from a 1942 supreme court ruling. It's been refined over the years, but the concept is if you say something crude or insulting with the expectation of starting a physical fight, you don't get to claim first amendment rights. Nigger.
>>539541396Retarded backward niggers think you can cast a voodoo hex on them with a word, and we all have to play along with the retarded niggers because the only other option is to admit that niggers are retarded.The superstitiousness of niggers used to be entertaining. Now it has become a problem and the niggers need to be sterilized.
>>539541055You have to be the biggest faggot on the entire site right now. Congrats, that really isnt easy.
>>539541545>name callinggreat job anon, now get back to your important research on youtube
>>539539899Neeger is not nigger. Neeger is negro in English.Nigger was always a slur until niggers themselves used it for each other.Negro was never a slur until postmodernist woketards declared it to be.
>>539541055Nigger. Thank you for acting like it so I can call you one.
Just don't call them that they feel offended by it. It's becoming an autistic repetition larp now.
>>539541939They still try to bend it as insulting and even added a afro-american disclaimer.
>>539539939> you understand why a black person would be angry about the wordThey are not angry about the word. They themselves use it frequently and nobody seems bothered.They are angry only about a white person using it.This is just a power game. A pretext for them to have a power frenzy. Nothing else.They still cope 161 years after white people ended slavery in America.Will black people ever get rid of their slave mentality?
>>539542485I think it is a taught behavior by parents to children to ignorant to understand the world. Of course you see the occasional black that shows that intelligence that white people helped blacks however it really seems like a dime in a dozen.
