I have never and will never give a white person that much power over me to be upset when they say the N-word


It has never bothered me and never will

Yeah, around your white boys...just like I thought. You have no street cred (or courage it would seem). BTW, I grew up in the hood and there were many white boys I knew who used the "n" word freely around his black friends. Contrary to what you might believe, black people know when to take offense and when not to when the word is used. And it's obvious you know better, because you've not yet built up the courage to try it out for size. And you'd better keep it that way (and you will).

I'm trying to understand his POV.
He explained it to you. The word can be used as a slur, but not when i use it. I don't call other races derogatory terms...

What i say to other black folks isn't your problem.

White folks can call each other anything they want. That's not my business. Hell, you can call other blacks the N word too if they let you. I'd prefer it not be done around me though.

Yes..there is an explicit double standard...but I didn't make the rules governing the N-word.

the bold face automatically makes you a racist. you can't call me a boy.........boy. send me a DM. I will hand out directions to my home. are you going to "kill me?" are you going to "beat me up?" you will do nothing, and you will shut your mouth, because you are out of our league.

Avoiding it altogether is a good start.

Simple: if you're not in the group, don't use it.
