So basically that word is exclusive to African Americans, so lets say my dad is black buy my mom is white and I am light skinned like my mother so can I say the N word to refer to other black people? I am technically black also.
This is just a scenario by the way.

Yep. Anyone can say it, actually.
actually, i dont think anybody should say it. its very offensive to some people.
I don’t understand the reasoning behind African Americans using this even to each other, the definition is still the same. I don’t think it’s ever OK
Yes you may. I use the “H” word all the time.
Yea you can but you might have diffrent responses from diffrent people so be careful and good luck
You can identify as either black or white, yes you are entitled to say the N word (but it would be your perogative), but you may want to watch out saying it to people who don’t know you’re half-black.
You could get in a crappy situation because people wont know who you really are.
The consensus of the informed population is that the N word shouldn’t be used by anyone. A white using it makes him ignorant and racist, a black makes him ignorant and obnoxious.
You shouldn’t, for it demeans everyone it touches
No, its very offensive to some people. I dont think anyone should say it. If your african american, you realize that all people and even your self should think of you as YOU are. I dont agree skin differences should change anything!
First off, Why would you want to use that word? It signifies Trash. It has ben used for many years betwen gang members and even friends like ” whats up my Ni—A”, but that is something you may have to ask your friends if that is acceptable. I am white and still call my best friend NNeeaaggaa, and he is white to. I guess it is the contect of how you use it. I cant imagine that your parents would condone this launguage though. Thanks .
Anyone can say it. It’s just a word. and I don’t care what anyone else says.
i don’t think it is good idea at all, because there lot kids will hear you and get the wrong idea for calling other people name.
black people , white people , red people, whatever… they all are humans begin.
i would not like people call me white trash, because i want respect and i want respect those people too.
Why do you want to say it? It’s ignorant and useless. No.
