It's absolutely 100% acceptable for black people to use the word. It's absolutely 100% unacceptable for white people to use the word. Is that clear enough for you? Do you seriously feel discriminated against because you shouldn't use one word? It's been your total focus, the whole black/white thing, throughout this entire thread. It's a weird obsession and you might want to look into why this bothers you so much.
Cannot tell if you are being serious or facetious. Imagine that we swap races and create a word that ONLY white people are allowed to say, and Black folk are forbidden to say it....
There's no hypocrisy. You just want there to be. If you are black, you can use the word. It's really simple, but apparently too difficult for you to understand. You have spent two days arguing for why you should be able to use that word with impunity. Sorry, that's not going to happen.
Saw Tekashi69 on the Breakfast Club explaining that he and people in his neighborhood/school/family use the word.
“ Speaking to co-hosts Charlamagne Tha God, DJ Envy and Angela Yee, the Stoopid rapper said: ‘Who gon stop me? Who?!’”
How about a little diversity in music. It wasn’t all black but it was all rap.
Some years they do, some they don't. Just last year it was just The Weened. In other 2010's and 20's they have turned entire shows over to Diana Ross, Beyoncé with a reunion of her old group. Lady Gaga, The Who etc. Go back to just after the Janet Jackson wardrobe malfunction and you had a series of 60's and 70's acts separated by Prince, being best known from the 80's breakout and peak.
So this year was a Dre day maybe to set him up as a Quincy Jones of his generation. With one song by Mary J. Blige from Jam and Lewis from after their peak Minneapolis funk/Janet Jackson's break out era.
Oh lord.. you are one of those “why can’t I say it” folks.
Not surprised.
Go ahead, say it in mixed company and let us know how it works out for you.
You’re one of those that suggests that someone walk into a black bar and use it. Not a good idea. But White kids use it with their white friends. Who cares.

Wrong.
I'm black and I can't use the word. What makes you think I could just go to work and start using the word? It's a term of endearment, for thugs. I don't recall guys like Ben Carson or even Obama using it.
You can't use a word "as a term of endearment" then get upset when whites use it. Either the word is bad for everyone to use or it's not, you can't monopolize a word that's used every 5 seconds in every hip hop song.
They are thinking of Snoop Dog back in the 1990s, Snoop has toned down quite a bit today, its the same route that Ice Cube took, he was once a proud black supremacist and his lyrics were very offensive, but today hes in movies portraying normal dads, raising kids/comedies. LOL
Thugs isnt who these people are in their real lives, its just a character they play for the public. Its designed to sell music and merchandise, nothing more, nothing less.
Not at all. They were active gang members with rap sheets before becoming rich and famous.
Because you aren't black. White people use the word as a slur, black people don't. You are showing your true colors by how hard you are arguing against all of this. Bingo!
Ridiculous. Some Whites and others call their friends N. They aren’t out their daily looking for some black person walking down the street so they can call them a N intended as a slur.
So to suggest that whites only use the term as a slur is silly and racist in itself. You don’t know all whites. You may have watched some vid of some drunk white clown using it as a slur but by far those of any race that use it don’t use it as a slur.
For the same reason that Jews can make jokes about being stingy, but you and I probably shouldn't.
Nah, but interesting strawman argument and attempt at rationalization.
