Remember ny older sister telling me “ Cultured people say ‘nigra’ not nigger’!”
LOL!
Actually everyone should use ‘Negro”: the scientific term.
Unless one is addressing culture and not race.
My son when he was in High School (a know-it-all white kid) said “It’s okay if you use the word ‘niggah’ that’s pretty much like ‘bro’ - but not nigger.”
I told him he better watch himself if he thought saying that was okay! Or ‘bro’ for that matter to a stranger. (I was reminded of that scene in “Gran Torino” with the wannabe white boy talking to the black guys harassing the Asian gal.)
