Hello,
I am Wolfgang. I am in middle school and let me just say, there is somthing about the word nigger that is very interesting.
Okay,
Supposedly the word "nigger" is highly offensive to black people. Thats all fine and dandy, untill...

I see two black kids talking to each other
"Yo nigga, spare me a doller...."
"Lend a nigga a hand."
"No nigga get off".

WHAT??!
I thought at first, how very odd.

When i found more people, i saw them saying nigger too, funny enough they were black.

However,
I say nigger (im white) and all of a sudden i am a rascist? <----flawed logic

But, even funnier, white girls can say "Ne-gra" and it doesnt count as rascist at all.

So here is my question,
Do you think the N word (nigger, nigga, nee-gra etc etc) is offesnive or not?

Post your thoughts.

i know this is a touchy subject, so try to keep it as non offensive as possible
Offensive is a purely subjective concept that rests primarily in those on the receiving end or who are third parties.
