The Word Nigger

In our generation there is different reaction to the word ¨nigga¨ or ¨nigger¨ than there was before. When you say the ¨n¨ word some people take it as calling you ¨dude¨ ,¨man¨ or some people get insulted. Most African Americans say it is not okay for white people to say the ¨n¨ word because of the history behind it. When using this word it traces down to bad history even though it has totally different meaning and is not meant to insult anybody. If you use this word in referring to a friend then it shows your lack of appreciation for them. When using the ¨n¨ word you are insulting the people that fought and died for their civil rights. ¨The word nigger, carries with it much of the hatred and disgust directed toward Black Africans and African Americans. Historically, nigger defined,
If they think it is such a bad word then do not use it. Otherwise the word is used in new slang to friend so I don't really see a problem.¨ The word is used in new slang to ¨friend¨ so there should be no problem. “A word is giving its meaning by society. So why should we create separate words designed to offend people.¨
However the counterclaim is wrong because if they actually did use it and did not care about what the African American people feel everybody would be fighting which would have caused social issues.People say ¨it's just a word¨ but it is actually capable of hurting people.The history behind it makes it even worse when you think about the people that died and fought for their civil rights.The real meaning behind it is not to call someone ¨dude¨ or ¨buddy¨ it actually is racist and hurtful towards African Americans.
Using the ¨n¨ word is offensive even if white or black person says it.It should not be said no matter what if they are trying to be friendly or trying to insult each
