I think being WHITE makes you a racist...
Seriously though, I think society has brainwashed folks into believing that if they dislike a person of another ethnicity than they are racist. I don't think it's very nice to call someone the 'N' word, but does it automatically make you are racist? Probably not. |

The problem with the word nigger substantial.
It is always plural, as even when used in the singular context, the implication is that you are a member of the plural. The word 'Nigger' connotes that the entire black race is below that of a dog in all forms. Thus when you use it, it's significantly more than an personal insult. It's not like saying, "DriftPunch, you are an asshole". It's like saying "DriftPunch, you are from a long line of contemptable neanderthals whose legacy you will find it impossible to shake." To answer the question, you don't have to be a racist to use the word 'nigger', but then you'd be definately in the minority of those who use it frequently. |

It seems to me the calling somebody who isn't a fag a fag is more of an insult to that person then to actually call a gay person that. I do believe in the maximum insult factor but a white person that would call a person a nigger or Asian a slope head usually is brought up in a family and it was done their. Many white families and white people would not call a black man a nigger (or should it be African American man) no matter how mad they were because of the level of the insult. It probably makes you a racist, but I have never met anybody that wasn't a racist, it is just a matter of degree.

Used to be, one couldn't speak about religion or politics. Now it's race and the myriad sub-issues that stem from race. Just ask Rush. He was simply making an observation regarding a possible media bias toward black quarterbacks and it ignited a firestorm that showed the entire country that ANY discussion about race is beyond our whiny, easily offended sensibilities. However, I have wondered why someone can say "white trash" and not "nigger". What if I were "from a long line of contemptable neanderthals whose legacy you will find it impossible to shake."? Then does "white trash" carry the same socially reprehensible connotations? Probably not. It's a minority/majority thing.

[:|] I know this is your little schtick here and all, but I'll take what you said at face value. I said nothing about the frequency of my usage of any of those terms. I can't honestly remember the last time that a woman pissed me off so bad that I looked her in the eye and called her a cunt. I also can't say that it's NEVER happened. To me it's no different than getting pissed off enough at a guy to start slinging insults at them either. If that guy is black, he might just hear the "N" word. Especially so if he's acting in a way that would be thought of as stereotypical of that word. |

Although many believe it denotes you are a racist, it doesn't by no means.
It's a racist insult no more no less. Yet some people would advocate you being put in jail for saying it. Think about it a minute, going to jail for saying a word. Kind of goes against the first amendment a bit uh? It's a dangerous thing when society sets up different standards based on ones skin color. In the last year I've read of white children being accused of hate crimes because they were white and used the word. I've also read of black children purposely seeking white children to beat up, Cleveland, and not accused of a hate crime. Strange times we live in. Tj |

Using the "N" word makes you no more a racist than using the "K", "H"..the other "H", "C", the other "C" word, "S", "G", "T", "W", damn..I almost forgot the third "C" and "G" word, "R".
Does calling a woman that cuts you off in traffic a "Bitch" make you a mysoginist...due to the historical role of inequality women have been subjected too? NO. Anyone that thinks the use of a racial slur makes that person a racist is a dolt. -HS |

I don't think it automatically makes you a racist. I think it depends on what context the N word was used.

It is all in context and intent of use. If you are using "those words" (any of the fringe mentioned above), in a conversation, discussing the people that carry various "nicknames", then I don't really see it as making you a bad person (especially when I call my ex-wife a bitch).

(well, I would prefer that over "dawg", "homie", etc.) PC "Leave it to Beaver" Ghetto: "Why, Hello Afro American!" "Hello Caucasion! what are you up to, my friend?" "Well, Afro American, not much, I was thinking about going down to the park and trying to sell some illicit drugs" "Nifty Idea you have there Caucasion!" "Thank you Afro American, I thought it might be a profitable enterprise" "Perhaps you would like to purchase this large sheathed knife I happen to have here to protect yourself from Law Enforcement Officers trying to intefere with your capitalistic goals?"....... |

IMO:
Only if you're 'white' (no such thing as a purebred, I'm not). The bigger issue black people make out of it, the bigger the insult. Thus if someone's pissed off they call him/her a fu*king ni**er to provoke the desired level of insult (because he/she will take it that way). I, on the other hand do not feel particularly offended by 'cracker', 'whitey', 'asshole', 'fatass', or any other insult anyone of any color decides to fling at me. Sure, I get pissed, but what is this grade-school? Why does everything come down to race, even when it's probably not consciously intended. |

I've been greeted by a friend (I'm caucasian he's black) "What's up nigga?" and took it as a term of familiarity. If I said it to him back he would take it the same way. If I said it to any other black person I'm not familiar with I'd be racist. BTW - have more 'wiggers' and white trash here than any other 'minorities'. |

A bit like, "Hey, Joe, ya still beat yer wife?" kind of question- the minute it is uttered, no matter how many denials on the part of Joe, the question still hangs in the air, and nobody wants to associate with someone whom society sees as undesirable, even if Joe is pure and innocent as the driven snow. Nobody will talk to you, although, indeed, they may be one or more of those things themselves, but hypocritically, they don't let on that they feel the same way you do.

Someone (dennis leary maybe?) once said, I don't believe in racism, I can find all kinds of other reasons to hate people. like stupidity. regardless your heritage is not something you can change, or something you can pick.
