philipinos would use the n word like every got damn second to each other, but it wasnt derogatory, it was more like the word dude to them.
but lol, from far away down the street the philipino dudes looked like a black person, so we couldnt tell whether it was a black dude sayin the n word or a philipino dude sayin the n-word. so, once we knew who it was, wed go wat up Nelson 'n-word', whumpty whoomp yada yada, lol.
it would only be said within a circle, not like out in the general public. the thing is we never associated the n-word to be derogoatory, nor did we in our minds ever portray the word or project the word to be racist in any kind of way.
like with anaything it depends on how you use the word and what you are rally trying to convey to the meaning of the word.
like some dude said in the post, if someone said the n-word with ending with an R and it was exclamated ! then they is issues taht need to be resolved at that instance moment.
the way i here people saying the n-word is playful and it is soemthing that was a part of they culture growing up and its hard to break bad habits like that. i do agree tho, taht non-blacks should cut the usage down, but who is gonna stop it, like i said its a cultural thing, everyone says it. it's a riding the fence, tip-toe on the wire issue. good thread.

From another perspective- its like an Italian sayin whats up wop..... " with out papers " I smile and say you fuckin dago fuck yourself...... And its all good we go get some lunch maybe bet on a horse whonoez..Ma Fungula Stunado's.
Anyhow it's a dumb word, I can't even stand it when black people over use it. I know there is no real justification of the word, but it looks even worse on people who are non black and still use it.
