Saying white people can't say the N word is like saying men can't say the B word due to it's history of being misogynistic towards women.  So many black dudes say that word; it's crazy.

It should be socially acceptable to say any swear you want.

It's human daftness in all it's glory, that nword is the new nogger and bword is the new betch.

My friend has a nword Labrador bword.

How long before nword is just too much for the variably darker skin toned to bear?

I think you should be the change you want to see in the world. Start using it, then explain your reasoning, I'm sure people will understand it.

No, you should never be the change you want to see in the world. Instead, be water and do whatever the world does.

Only 30% of black adults think it's ok for blacks to say the N word and not whites.  Among young black adults, it's even less.

And I can't be racist; I think the confederate statues should be torn down and replaced with bald eagle statues.

So? I'm sure once you start saying it in stores and dropping it into casual conversation, like even with your fellow white people, everyone will come around to how silly they've been, all thanks to your pioneering perspective. Just explain to them, it's because someone says bitch, and I'm sure the light will dawn, then the world can start healing.

I'm convinced.

FYI, in my profile I say that I only friend people that I think have an IQ over 120. I  bet ludofl3x says he only friends people with an IQ over 200.

The lesson is clear: if you are not black and you work for a living, or if you cannot fight like Jackie Chan, you must refrain from using that word, even the slang pronunciation, even if in jest. However, this white woman is an exceptional case:

Also, using the words trigger rigger, chigger, are sacrilegious words as well.

Now say 10 hail Mary's and drop a dollar into BLM's GoFundMe swear jar.

How much would you like if white people were allowed to say the word "nigger" again when talking about black people?

I’d rather that no one say it, but that’s not going to happen, so as long as it isn’t used to harm anyone, or used at anyone in a denominational way, yeah, I guess it’s okay.

Just about anything can be a “dogwhistle” if you want it to be. See: confirmation bias.

Cracker. Usually pronounced “Cracka.”

Asians use Gweilo, meaning "White Devil."

Malcolm X was fond of that term when describing Democrats.

Okay, that word is funny enough, and might even be offensive, but I usually hold opinion that words against white people cannot be offensive.

It has been explained as referring not to the whiteness of one’s skin resembling a cracker, but to the sound a whip makes when a white person whips a black person (as if this distinction should be much less offensive).

When did swearing become a right? When did uttering foul words even become a privilege? Yes, I think even white people should use the word. I mean if we are going to make such words a societal norm we might as well slap equal rights on to of it. Isn't that what we always do, this human race?

I agree with ludofl3x, your argument makes so much sense, you should just go for it.

I'm sure everyone will understand.

Amen!

As I have always taught my children, sticks n stones may break you but names will bounce off of you like bullets bounce off of Superman.

If you're so fragile that a word, a word, causes you such grief...you need to look in the mirror and see the true source of the problem: YOU!

Isn't used to harm anyone?

A word =/= a sword, a knife, a bullet, a spear...you know, physical inanimate objects used to harm someone or anyone.

A word is a word. 

Words cannot harm anyone. 

The mind is what harms. If you're so weak to allow a word, whether written or heard, to make you feel less than a whole person, well, look in the mirror and see the true source of the harm: YOU!
