I admit I have. Although I never used it exclusively towards black people. I've used it to describe any person who I view as low class.
I've also used it to describe half assed or shawdy work. I'm sure I'm not the only one by a long shot. |

It's just a word. I'm from redneck oklahoma. You can guess my answer. The word describes a mindset, not a race in my opinion. Call me a racist I guess but I give anyone respect no matter color if they aren't latched to a government tit and ride their victim hood like a badge of honor. |

Grew up in a little racist neighborhood in chicago. We (whites) stayed on our side of the tracks, they (blacks) stayed on their side.
I remember a rather brave young black man one day decided he was going to buy something from the corner store on OUR side of the tracks. Some of the whitish trash gentlemen that were drinking while sitting on a porch took exception. "Where you going?" "I'm going to that store" "No you're not" And with that the beating commenced. Lucky for him he escaped because they would have pounded him into a blob on the sidewalk. |

Yes. A few times. But only quoting other people. Like the time a lady at work called me a "n!gger fuck". Couldn't wait to go home to tell my wife. She called me that for months!! Another time was when a young mother referred to her child as "little n!gga". I have also used the word numerous times in reports, again quoting people..."witness #3 then stated: he shot the nigga" (I'm white, retired LEO and have been called the n word often). |

While I understand those of tender, delicate constitution may need to fan themselves when they hear *gasp!  * a word in common use, those of us with a skin simply go on with life.

| As a young kid, I used the "er" version in an ignorant, disparaging manner. As a teenager/young adult, I used the "a" version when I was with my black buddies because I thought it gave me a feeling of exclusivity and made me fit in with them. As a father, I decided to cut it from my household vocabulary. No regrets. |

Sure. among other words that colorfully describe my point.
I am unashamed of it and will not stop. I do not say that word to any person that would be offended by it and I never say it to hurt someone. But in my circle of friends and acquaintances, we know it's just a word and not an action. |
| My platoon went to Cuba and we saw Pulp Fiction for the first time. All of us together in the back of a tent. The movie seemed to remove the stigma because we were all calling each other the N word regardless of color. It was limited to our platoon, and just while we were on deployment. It wasn't mean spirited or anything like that, almost an inside joke. |

I listened to NWA's Straight Out of Compton when it came out, a lot. I used to be able to recite the lyrics verbatim to about half of the album, and did so frequently.
"Straight out of Compton, crazy mother fucker, named Ice Cube, from a band called Ni  s with Attitude."

Sure. I use all racial and cultural epithets with equal aplomb and regularity. Not just those to describe blacks - but those that describe whites, asians, hispanics, italians, poles, arabs, muslims, slavs, indians (both dot and feather), french, german, spanish, etc. I am an equal opportunity not give a fucker. |
