Video: “People Died Because Of That Word” – College Students Call Old Man A ‘N*gga’ While He Buys B

If a 74 year old black man tells me anything, I'd just shut up and listen so I appreciate how respectful they were when he became upset. But as far as eliminating the word, I think people need to get over themselves. I'm an adult and have enough control over public and private spheres of my life to know when it's appropriate. In any refined company, inappropriate words define their user. Me saying nigga in conversation with another black person is certainly a different context than a white person doing so, for reasons that don't need much elaboration. I suggest that the use of the term nigga by almost anyone defines their user as coarse and rude, and given the particular sensitivities related to disadvantaged groups, the assumption is going to be that a non-black using the term is racist by the ordinary definition of "racist." For a black person, judgment might be reserved depending on the context. It's really just that simple.

 
Youngens full of shit they have it easy compared to the old vets they were in that era,showed show little respect. The old mans was right to check them

Ob, u are sexy as hell
 
Nigger comes from the latin word niger which means black

The word itself isn't offensive..it's the intent that's offensive. Without intent to offend/disrespect/demean why be up in arms?

The real fucked up thing is that white people found a way to get niggas offending by being called black.
 
Anyone that takes such a destructive term from the most harsh point in our history in america and tries to flip that shit into a friendly word is a fuckin idiot.

People will continue to do it, b. It is what it is.

There are other more pressing matters for the Black folks to be worried about other than this.
