Should it be allowed on TV? People have been speaking out against it, yet I've been hearing it uncensored all over TV. When'd they uncensor it? I think they need to re-censor it... :/
 
I think only 3 people should be aloud to say it :Chris Rock, Dave Chappel and Charlie MurphyOr else, it should be censored.
 
Why? If the word is not being used in a racist way, and only in people talking to eachother and using the word in the same way some people use the word 'dude' or 'foo' I don't see a problem with it.

Evil or dirty language comes from your heart, not the dictionary.
 
I heard them say it on the jeffersons for sure and maybe good times
 
I think there are inappropriate and appropriate ways to use it. Most of the occurances on television are fairly meaningful.
 
Nigga- The N WordI dont think it should be used in tv. It sucks to see young black kids sayin this word at like 3 and 4, due to parents exposing them to television. I am not saying television is the problem, its also the surroundings and people the kids interact with that use the word. Television is 1 of the problems. The kid still knows what he/she said even if censored. Just to contradict, I believe a comedian can say the word. It just makes their act funnier sometimes. I could careless what anyone thinks comedy makes me feel better especially if they go all out.Growing up in my surroundings I say the word, But I know how to control my usage of the word especially in business situations or around a certain group of people and kids in general. When I'm around my people, its a different story. But I still try not to use it much, so they wont do the same. Some people overuse this word cause they dont know what else to say or how to generate the proper words needed to get their point across. It's pretty pathetic when u see people talk like this in real life. High school/junior hs kids are good examples. Not all of them but there are good examples in this age group. If u get a chance to listen to them over here where I am at.Hearing this middle eastern guy overuse the word in best buy really piss me off for about a second but I recognize his surroundings. He was a weak one.Seeing a boy call his mom a nigga aint cool.If you don't know a persons name hey just use the word nigga. A lot of people do it.I use it a joke Most of the time. I cant help it if it slips out tho, like that lady on deuce bigalow, I forgot what the syndrome is but whatever.The use of this N word will not decrease. it's just that simple.Now the N word Nigger I joke around all the time whenever I use it which is not much. But there aint much else I feel like discuss about this word.I thought of this game very interesting. It's a fun game I play a lot. While typing this I thought about it and why its called the N-Game... If you play it and notice what you do in the game..... lol anyway here is the games link. The N-GameIf I said something stupid I'll check later I just flow typed.
 
I don't think words on TV should be censored...because everybody knows what your saying anyway. I don't see why people need to say nigger on TV anyway but whatever...I could really care less.
 
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>I don't see why people need to say nigger on TV anyway</div>Black sitcoms need it. :happy0144: As for word censoring, I think there should be some limitations on TV, although it sucks when you watch a movie and they have a weak ass voiceover. Bulletproof on USA is a riot. I can't imagine what The Sopranos is like on A&E. But I do see why they are censored, because it's basic cable.What I want to know is why we have censoring on this site?

That would just be terrible. It is a word that shouldn't realyl be used at all, but for blacks it is not being racist so it isn't as terrible when they say it. Like I said, it should only be shown on TV shows for adults.
 
I think as a white person I have no say in how the word should be used...and neither should any other white people...and we shouldn't use it..everHonestly, I don't see a need for it..and I don't understand why people use it when it's totally unneccesary 98% of the time..some people just say it to be part of something...kind of like some people just smoke weed to be part of somethingI think one of the only times it is allowed to be used is in books when educating/teaching people on racism..to introduce the ignorance and arrogance of peopleI agree with whoever said though that TV shouldn't censor any words period...but television shows should be aware of their audience ages (WWE) and try to tone down the language a bit...I just think censorship is a mess and racism is a mess

Why is it different from F*ck or sh*t? :dunno:
 
Hey uncle Tom, stop telling me to stop saying nigga, did I mention Analyst that you'z my nigga? Love you man.
 
Analyst's point is my stance too. If it's not uncensored, why the F*ck bother censoring sh*t and F*ck.
 
I was raised to not say the n-word. I dont know how everyone can say it so easily. I hate that word. Out here on Maui, all the dumb white people and samoans and tongans and fillipinos say it because they think they're black. I hate that s***. It should not be allowed to be said on tv. said and done :brucelee:
 
I personally dont think anything should be censored. IMO if your not old enough to see swear words on the computer, then you're defintiely not old enough to be posting on BBWnigga
 
That's right guys, get it all out. The word nigga is finally losing it's power. The word itself was only powered by the controversy surrounding it, and it's steadily diminishing. People generally believe what they're led to believe, but this silly stance can't be maintained.I think we're all starting to realize that taking offense to what somebody says is a decision. It's a smokescreen; a distraction from reprehensible action on the part of tacit racists and molders of image for money.I remember earlier this year when those racist themed college parties made CNN. You know Clemson, UConn, and, I think Tartleton or Tarkleton College in Texas. The white people that have been consuming these corporate makeover, gangster clowns for years really think that's how black people are unilaterally. Sadly, many black people who are hypnotized and socialized by Viacom feel the same way. Both are equally ignorant. The difference is, those parties drew organized opposition.Are you kidding me? With all the problems that black people have, this is what we protest? White boys drinking malt liquor and wearing platinum ropes on MLK's birthday. Drunk ass Michael Richards spits "nigger" on stage and this what we march for? And if you want to ban a word, whose gonna be in charge of enforcing that stupid rule? That is not easy. And which word is next?

Surprisingly enough, Austronesian groups like the Aeta and Negritos of the Philippines also share genetic properties with east Asians, and they look like this:Aeta Children (Philippines)Negrito Men (Philippines)Negrito Archery (Philipines)They look negroid don't they? Don't be fooled though. :winkglasses: More information on the three major racial groups - Caucasoid, Congoid (obsolete term replaced by negroid), Mongoloid. Austronesians once had their own racial sub-order (Australoid), but it has been rendered defunct recently and instead, they are encompassed as an offshoot (or rather a predecessor) of the mongoloid race.

That word and I have an intimate understanding - a lifetime bond. I've lived through it's transformation. Even when it's unspoken that word has shined on and through me and mine for a loooong time. A cop once said that word to the back of my head, where his gun was pointed, when he guided me to the mud and dirtied the front of my white Michigan State jogging suit. He could have cuffed me where I stood.The point is, there is no intrinsic evil in that word, or any word. The evil was in his heart. These days I'm listening to white boys call themselves niggers or niggas or whatever, and it's almost harmless because I can't detect the hatred behind the ignorance. They've bought and paid for that word. Variations of that word is on tv, movies, radio, cds so much that we've become exponentially desensitized to it's use. We're starting to see past it, for that core of real evil. Nigger is just the echo of that metaphorical shotgun blast you tried to parallel. It used to be close to our ears, but now it's far away. Fact: it's dying.And cain't no distant echo hurt me.Edit: Don't trust the validity of a complaint just because you hear it. Especially when the camera's on and resume material is abundant for the taking. Examine the complaints and the complainers for opportunists. Because within the community, this was just a blip.

I personally don't give a sh*t and I use the word liberally. However, I still realize that I'm not the only person in the world. You apparently aren't quite as conscious of the outside world. I know it's probably fairly suprising to you, but the world doesn't revolve around you and whatever "community" you think you belong to.I was not making a metaphor with the shotgun blast; you misinterpreted what I said. It was merely an example. I mean really, you are talking for the entire black culture and saying that you don't care about it. Not one of you. At all. It's all fake. That's a pretty bold statement with pretty flimsy points to back it up. I'm pretty sure it's not white people that care.There are some people that are desensitized to it, but once again, you and I are not the entire human race.
