You know...your normally the guy who complains/whine's about others actions/posts, kinda off how'd you use such a offensive word.

Anyways, I don't mind you letting us know its there but if your actually going to post it then I expect that you'll keep it tended to. Though if you do affiliate it with a clan then I'll have a issue with it.


I think J-Dawg said it, but someone said that nigga is not an offensive word in EgN :P
I personally don't think it's offensive either.

you're*
you're*


I'm just going to jump in here and say that "nigga" is considered a racial slur given it's past and the past use of it.
It was used, if you're not familiar with it, as a word to lower the life-quality of african slaves. "Nigger" was, and still is, used to make people of african heritage less worth than a white man.
So yes, the term is racist.

I'm also going to put in some parent logic here.

If J-Dawg told you to jump off a bridge would you do it?
Also, a racial slur is still a racial slur regardless of the place or setting it is used :v

Just sayin'


In my opinion,
there IS a difference between nigga and being racist.
Situation 1.
What'sup mah nigga!
This is not racist, it is just a substitute for the word "friend."
And if you think that you can't say it to black people, my best friend is black and we say it to each other all the time. He takes no offense.
Situation 2.
Fucking niggers/niggas always ___ing.
This is stereotyping, saying they are always doing whatever verb you put in there.
That is racist, because, obviously, not all of them do that thing.

As true as this is, it always depends on the occasion.
If someone in a server or in real life (wherever it may be) uses it as a derogatory term to mock someone or insult someone, I will harshly voice my opinion and demand immediate action.
Of course, the african public use the term loosely amidst themselves, yet I feel this does not give others a reason to use it just as loosely.
And yes, "nigga" CAN be used as a substitute for friend, but I advise you to make sure that the person/people you are using the term amidst take no offence.

More off-topic posts please.

To settle it: Nigger/Nigguh/Nigga is always racist. Don't use it in the server. Use it only when you know you aren't offending people (e.g. In TS with other members).

On the topic of the server: I've seen a few people in there, keep it up.
