You'd think they were trying to suck every last bit of pitty out of everything around them. The world is not anti-black anymore, we accept all cultures. Well, most of us do, with the exception of some ignorant people who think the color of the skin means anything at all. Get over it.

The truth is, most people who find the word n1gger offensive are just trying to either scare you, or mess around with you. Sure, if you use it in a threatening/angered sense, then I could understand them getting mad about it.

No the word they/we use is n!gga, very different from n!gger. Something a lot of people do not seem to grasp

Does it really change the meaning that much? Is there really that much of a difference between cracker and cracka?

Or they are marketing towards their customer base. All companies do this. How is this "exploitation?"

I was just gonna say this, but apparently its already been said...

I always thought that was just laziness, like lovin' instead of loving it.

If a white or black or any race person called me a n!gger I would be offended. N!gga on the other hand is the complete opposite.

They were using n!gger in the same context when I was growing up.

Yes my grammer sucks but my point is simple. Just cause they sound the same doesn't mean they are the same.

Have you ever seen "n!gga" use in a blatently racist comment?

They are the same. One is just the ebonics version and the other proper English.

The excuse is lame.

How is it not the same thing? Changing the 'er' to 'a' doesn't change the word.

Dave Chappelle says it with the er ending plenty of times. It's still the same word.

1) AT's filter seems to think 'ni[/b]gga' is bad enough to not be used here.

2) So if I said, "STFU, ni[/b]gga," you wouldn't be offended at my racist comment? :confused: You think classy feels the same way? :D

3) You know damn well this isn't about spelling and semantics. The 2 words are the same in meaning. Either it's is a word that no-one should say, or one that every one can say without impunity. You can't have it both ways.

N!gger is not proper english. Look it up it's offensive slang.

They're both considered offensive slang.

Well if you really want to get into it I shouldn't have said new and improved. I should of said it is a reclamation of an old mispelling/ mispronunciation. Really you are using a racist term older than n!gger with the same meaning claiming you have redefined it although it never fell out of use and its meaning never changed..

And people call me a prude. Is wigger is a derivative of the n-word yes. But the meaning is far from racist. Not all white people can just be labled as wiggers. It is the way certain ones act. I am an african american that has grown up with a white parent living in a predominately white town (2% blacks in the high school). I basically am a white dude trapped in a black mans body. If I tried to act gangsta I would be a wigger too.

So stfu foo be-fo I gots tah drop yo bitch ass.

There's a difference between a black person and a n1gger :)roll: at having to use a 1 instead of an i, as apparently a 1 is less offensive). This is a concept classy has yet to comprehend.

First it's hollow cries of racism against those who disagree with you, then it's thinly veiled threats. :roll:

You don't know what a 5 to 10 is? LOL :D
Threats? Man you ain't worth threatening. Why? Dude you are so beneath me it ain't funny. I truly find you Amusing. Dude you mean absolutely 0 to me. Dude you have to be worth something in order to be worth threatening.

So your saying there are truly such people that are N1ggers? Since there is a difference between blacks and N1ggers, please explain this to me? Give me an example of black person and give me an example in your mind of a n1gger?

A n1gger is just someone who's trash. I don't care what race you are, if you're trash, that word applies.
