When someone of you're own kind says something negative about you're race or colour it doesn't matter because it also includes them. For example, if an asian calls another asian a yellow thing then he/she should not get offended because the person who said it is also Yellow.I thought it was common knowledge that it depends on who's using it and in what context. I don't think you can compare a black guy calling another black guy A Nigga and a white guy saying so. There not on the same scale.
I'm sorry melo but that's where the stupidity in the whole thing with different meanings of nigger comes out. Do you see other races calling each other their own racist terms. What asian person goes up to another and calls him yellow? That would be one of the stupidest disses ever. <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>I don't think you can compare a black guy calling another black guy A Nigga and a white guy saying so.

Makes no sense to me.

The guy won't be offended over being called black. He would be offended for being told to Shut up.When someone of your own race says something negative towards you're colour, it has no meaning. That's how i feel anyways.
My friends tell me I am the only white boy thats allowed to get away with saying it. I have no idea why.
my black friends call me a sand nigga - i can say the same to them (w/ out the sand) lol (lol it applies cause I'm Egpytian, which is technicall from Africa, and also Arab)
