    First, the way blacks and whites use and pronounce the word is different. Between blacks, the word is a term of inclusion and familiarity and is pronounced lightly. When whites use the term, it is used as a derisive term and has a much more harsh pronunciation. Second, a person who is half white and half black usually has a brown skin color and hair with a non-Caucasian texture. It’s usually pretty easy to spot people with black in their family, and if they look black, they’re usually considered black by other black folk. Third, we don’t just walk up to a group of people we don’t know or have any association with and say, ‘wsup nigga?’ It doesn’t work like that. Some people may be offended by the use of such a familiar term with people who don’t know them. It’s similar to using the first name of an adult when speaking to them; there are just certain times and situations when you can do it.
