I hate it when people use this excuse to say nigger. It's obviously just an excuse to vent frustration at some black people. Like when there's a video showing a black guy doing something wrong someone would be like " What a stupid nigger". Then they would be like " I'm not calling him a nigger because he's black, I'm calling him a nigger because of how he acted, I would call a white person a nigger too."

I have hardly ever seen white people refer to other white people as "nigger" when there is evidence of them doing something wrong. I only see it when a black person does something wrong. People just try to say it and attempt to cover up their prejudice motives by justifying it somehow. They think that if they say that they would call any race a nigger it makes it right, even though you only see the word "nigger" pop up on black videos. I don't care how you see it, why use "nigger" to give someone a negative name? There are plenty of words in the English dictionary to use. People are just racist but are too scared to admit it. I have more respect for racists who actually admit that they are calling someone a nigger because of their race.

Nigger, as inappropriate as it is, refers to black people, coming from multiple languages' variations on the literal word "black": "negro", etc. When you say you call all stupid people niggers you're saying you call all stupid people black. That is an insult to black people.

It's like saying "I'm gonna call every stupid person "American" from now on. He does something stupid, I say "that stupid American!" even if they're not American." That's insulting to Americans, because you're comparing them to stupid people.

There can't really be an argument against that. Pick a word that isn't race-specific to describe ignorant people, mmkay?

It rarely happens. Black people aren't naive, they know that "I would call him a nigger if he wasn't black" is a lame excuse most of the time. Especially considering that it always happens on all the black videos and never on white videos when there are many words to refer to someone in the negative. So Why nigger? And why nigger on so many videos with black people and hardly ever white people? Also a lot of times the people who refer to them as nigger admit that they have some problems with black people. Then they want to try to say they are calling him a nigger not because of his race? Don't make me laugh.

Nigger is rooted as the term to negatively call dark-skinned people. Unfortunately, when you call other races nigger, there is a subtle insinuation that their ignorant like a black person.

I say call a spade a spade, and abstain from using the word. Problem solved.

Actually the real definition of the word Nigger is Ignorant, or stupid. That definition has since been stripped from the dictionary by protest. Back in the days of slavery black people were not educated, thus they were in a way ignorant. The word originated from that time, but was derived from the french word negre. From about the 1500's it was used to describe black people that were not educated or christian. Don't get me wrong it is a race specific word, I just wanted to spread light on the original meaning of the word.

I think why the definition was changed is because it was such a derogatory term. But to be fair black people shouldn't be calling each other nigga. It sets a bad example and encourages the use of the word. I don't say to my gay friends "hey whats up faggot."

I disagree with that. Nigger first and foremost is meant to describe a person of "black skin", thus its etymology.

And I agree, people say the word nigga is to counteract nigger, but it's just an echo. It just gives the incentive of keeping the word nigger alive.
