[Brent]

I know just what you’re talkng about. As a white high school student who recently moved from a 56% black city to a 98% white city, I must say I experienced a crapload of culture shock after I first moved. Nobody around here understands what the word’s significance is to a lot of people. Everybody here just complains about getting made fun of by Cedric the Entertainer and Martin Lawrence. lol 🙂 Anyway, back in my old city, near Detroit, pretty much all my good friends were black. Sometimes if I simply said something I read on the Internet that had the word in it, they’d start messing around and telling me I cant say that cuz I’m white. But a bunch of them regularly referred to me using variations, such as ‘my niggs’ and things like that, and I could say things like that to them because they knew that I understood black culture and what the word can mean sometimes. So it goes both ways. I totally agree that suburbanites who have no idea what black culture is really like beyond what they see on tv and movies, should never even think about using it around non-white people. Peace, love, and soul. I’m out.
