Really, because according to the most up to date demographics I can find for your country it's 80% White European Decent, 14% indeginous peoples, and 6% asian. That leaves less than 1% available for blacks. Don't tell me that you have a large population.

Secondly, I don't know how many times I have said it (thanks for ignoring MY point by the way) but the issue is not that he said ******.

Now THIS is difficult to understand..I know, but try. Two best mates, the white guy says this:

Black Guy: Dude, you are not funny
White Guy: 50 years ago you would be hung you fucking ******, tomorrow, I'll wake up and be rich, and you'll still be a ******. This is what you get for critisizing a white man you fucking ******
Black Guy: You racist fuck.

Make a little more sense now? Saying nigga as a word synonomous with "dude/man" is in no way the same as saying ****** as a derogatory term to deliberatly insult someone. Quit playing sematics and look at the fucking problem.

Urban Hat€monger ?

And you seem to be blind the the hypocracy of saying it`s ok for blacks to say it but when someone of any other race says it that it`s racism.

Probably because it is 100% impossible for blacks to exert racism upon..blacks.
You're right, it's not racism, and I see no hipocracy there. Another reason why it isn't racism, a black person would not say to another black person "you need to be hung you dumb f*cking ******"

Urban Hat€monger ?

The meaning of the actual word is still the same regardless of the context it`s used it.

Really, no. Not anymore.

Urban Hat€monger ?

It still means black person otherwise why would they say it to other black people if it didn`t mean that anymore?

Between blacks, or even between friends (white/black) it is a self deprecating term.
"******" is not just a term that means black people, if it meant that it would not be offensive. It is a term that refers to black people in a derogatory way.

Between black people (or friends) it looses it's negative connotation. When used by one person (non-black) in contempt of another person (black) it retains a negative connotation.

Urban Hat€monger ?

And you still seem to be missing the point that you are still saying that nigga has racist connetations.
You just admitted it yourself, you just said that if someone white said it , even meant in the same way as 2 black friends saying it you still consider it racist.Which is my (and I assume Merkaba`s point) point.

If it`s such a bad word then don`t use it at all.

Urban Hat€monger ?

I was responding to this , so if what your saying in that other post is different to this then it makes me wonder if you are making this all up as you go along.
