Oct 9, 2008 - this is stupid.. nobody can use it.. it's a stupid word. there will never be equality as long as black people think of themselves as separate from everyone else. I'm black and I say, I don't like black people because most of them are stuck in the past and refuse to move on and are holding the world back from making any progress and uniting the human race.

Oct 10, 2008 - So whites can't say nigga, but blacks can say honky? Damn, what a contradiction!!!

mbtoober Says:

Oct 10, 2008 - I am African American and I don't use the word, no one should, but if anyone can jokingly, it should be black people, just as I would never use a racist term publicly or privately, regarding any other race, but if they want to say it about themselves, then fine I guess, also for the non black people who say "get over it", you are ignorant, because trust me racisim is alive and well, think about how most of your families would feel if you were dating, or even better,going to marry a Black person.

Oct 10, 2008 - Well the whites created the word, so who's fault is that?

asbrahim Says:

Oct 10, 2008 - It seems like black people are further seperating their cuture from American culture by using the word. It's not about what they've experienced in the past. I get that. Everyone recognizes the racism and acknowledges that it's still very real but if America's going to move forward, why perpetuate the anomosity? Using that word in their own homes may theoretically take the control into their hands, but what message is that sending to racists? Racists are illogical. It only fuels the fire.

Oct 10, 2008 - What these bitches need to do is shut the hell up and make some samiches None of them are going to change anything I feel sorry for the people who actually watch this show I'm tired of this racial slur bullshit hype

Twan277 Says:

Oct 10, 2008 - no cuz when white ppl say it, 100% of the time its used in a racist way. 4 black ppl its used as "friend". thats y white ppl sholdnt be allowed to use it.

nocturnezero Says:

Oct 10, 2008 - No, in fact, that's wrong. I have black friends, if I said "Whatsup nigger" to one of them, if they didn't automatically take it as a joke then they also wouldn't get mad, because they'd see that I wasn't making a racial slur, I was calling them "friend".

badfan3 Says:

Oct 10, 2008 - Double standards. Blacks are allowed to say anything they want with a simple apology and get away with it. Whites are always under the microscope with any comment they make, even it is was innocent. When will the US grow up and leave the past and move. Quit using the slave issue from you great great grandparents as a reason to justify your comments and actions and start taking responsibility now.

indiatainafrmpr Says:

Oct 10, 2008 - so when i white person is singin along to a song with the word in it....do they have to automatically skip over it because they r not allowed to say it??? its all in the context, i think it could b offensive even if a black person says it to another black, just depends how they say it to them.

Yams07 Says:

Oct 10, 2008 - it is upsetting, but if we're trying to move forward why do we have to look back. i feel like people are holding grudges and it doesnt make any sense, young white people now are not the ones who decided to make black people back in the day work, so why treat them like they did? thats rude

Yams07 Says:

Oct 10, 2008 - its a little different then using fat.. whoopi is saying that its used as a term of endearment, the thing i have a hard time understanding is how can you use a word that caused so much pain as a word to call someone that you love... like the fat word, i wouldnt say to my friend whats up fatty? its not ok to use and i feel that as long as some people can use that word and others cant, we're not going to live in the same world and thats not the white peoples fault.

LeoGonWild Says:

Oct 10, 2008 - Yes, I agree. Whoopi says how the world is different for a black and a white person, yet she thinks it's acceptable to continue seperating the races by only accepting blacks to say something and no one else. I hate how these people who agree that blacks should be the only ones to say the N word are some of the same people who scream for EQUALITY. It's sad really. I'm sick of some people who bring up slavery. It's SO OVER just like jew genocide and atomic bombing japan, they moved on, so can we.

LeoGonWild Says:

Oct 10, 2008 - I agree. They say it off the chain in some rap and hip-hop songs. They want everyone to listen, but not sing along to some of the words? I don't think so. I'm half black and I don't care if a blakc person says it to me vs a white person, I still think it's rude and saying the N word is trashy no matter what race you are.

LeoGonWild Says:

Oct 10, 2008 - I have to agree. How can the same black people who use the N word be the same who scream and complain about EQUALITY. It will never be equal if some feel this word is acceptable only if their race uses it. Whoopi seems clueless as ever too. The only reason why other races use the N word anyways is because they know it gets some blacks mad...

powpanda Says:

Oct 11, 2008 - Saying something like the N word is such a big deal, but saying the most offensive, vilest most disgusting non-racial insults a person can think of is fine? I hear it routinely here on youtube and IRL. That doesn't make much sense to me.

happyguy2300 Says:

Oct 11, 2008 - The 1st amendment states i can say what ever i want...and NO ONE can limit my freedom...so if you dont want this white man to say a word...then stop using it yourself...damn hypocrits!....i would like to take a moment to exercise my rights as an American....NIGGER!....got a problem with that?
