no offense, but it does make you look like you're looking to pick on people or inviting an argument for no good reason but boredom.
well, i'm not going to argue with you. if you want to use the word "nigger", then knock yourself out & have fun. just don't criticize other people just because the wish to rephrase the word out of respect of others. not everyone has the same level of respect towards everybody. some people just want a little attention and will go to lengths to get it, even if it leads them to using the word "nigger" to get a spark or attention. i've lived in the south, i have racist relatives, and i still hate the word and i don't feel comfortable honestly in any context. it's just a word i don't find any beauty in. congrats to you for feeling comfortable using it.
anybody can be "cool and awesome" and use language just to get attention or to give the impression that you're "hardcore". but it's more difficult to be respectful to everyone on all levels.
let it go, bro.

I'm not knocking the phrasing of the title of the thread!!!!!!!!!! My girlfriend is the person who started the thread, all I did was raised a question, this was not to spark anything like I said(
I'm not gonna lie it's a net forum, if I did it out of straight up boredum I'd say it), just to see if anyone else felt the same. I also see where your coming from and I'm sorry if you misunderstand where I am.... to try and restate where i am here , basically all i meant was to:
+++Question if it was really neccesary to say, "n-word"
(the follow up to this is the important part)
+++
I clearly said it that I wasn't saying anyone was wrong in doing so and in my 2nd post I even said that I understood it coming out of respect.
