nigger

is used amongst black people themselves because they share in the same oppressive situation, the same collective condition known as nigger, so while we shouldn't say that white people can't say the word, it's that, given the history, they shouldn't want to.

the N word isn't divisive white supremacy is divisive slavery was divisive that's the problem and maybe just maybe it's not white people's position to tell black people what to say I'm ready turned that James on the street and call him my nigga you know why because he is my nigga and the difference between Trinidad James and you is that Trinidad James has to deal with the same oppressive situations he's born into a world where anti black racism prevails he lives in a world where police might shoot him on the street no matter how much money he has we share a collective condition known as nigger white people don't I'm not saying it to be illegal for white people to use it I'm saying y'all shouldn't want to use it given everything that's happened after 400 years of exploitation and institutional racism
