ONTD

If I had someone yelling at me like that and demanding of me with a serious anger complex I'd probably leave, regardless of what they were telling me to do or say.

ngl looking forward to the responses to this, because the last time I saw this kinda topic on here people were saying how they wouldn't even lip-synch the word in a song even if someone held a gun to their head screaming at them to say it and no one else was around to hear

it's just a word, i'm another type of minority from Europe, yr so America-centric, a black guy gave me permission, if it was historically accurate, if it's art, as long as I had a black friend, if I was from a certain section of the US where it's like totes mcgotes okay to say it, while singing a rap song, while saying the title of a song, if I was Gweneth Paltrow

no

no

NO

wtf

Anytime someone dares me to do something it pm guarantees I never will, so no lol.

no. omg but if he double dog dared me motherfucker?????? still no. i'd probably just fart myself to death.

never. sidenote: he was GREAT in the movie. him and christoph were the standouts for me and i'm a huuuge dicaprio fan.

no :/

I think the only reason to say it is reading historical documents/literature that includes it. Even writing it I use "n word" and am less comfortable with "n*"-- I only use the actual word if I'm, say, writing a paper where I have it quotations.

probably not, but there's a very stark difference between saying a swear word and using it to degrade someone or casually in conv. it's weird that people equate the two. which is why it boggles me when people get uncomfortable reading mark twain or whatever, or this.

No

def no

no matter the situation, i would not say it

I'm black so it's not a big deal.

hell no

lol at all these lies in this thread.

I'm Black but if Sam Jackson ever yelled at me like that I'd probably piss my pants and say it.

I'm half black.
I don't say the n-word irl because I don't speak English irl lol but I've used it online and I don't mind it in songs (by black people ofc).
That being said, I don't appreciate being pressured into lame ass dares nor do I enjoy being yelled at so the answer to your question is no.

If I were white, I would assume it was a trap by Sam so again, fuck no.

im black but I would just keep answering him with questions.

Hell no. Not even if SLJ was like, 'nah it's cool, you can say it, don't worry'. It's just not something that needs to be said.

To insult someone black, no. Singing along to Nicki Minaj karaoke in my living room? If it's part of the song, I sing it. Going "My N--" like a dumb 14 year old on twitter? No, it's degrading to the English language as well as black people.

If Samuel L Jackson made me, I'd squeak it before I'd start crying.

Too many SJW on LJ...

No

I have said it when rapping.

no.

i would. i've said it before. i don't scream it from the rooftops or anything. i say it around people that use it as well.

I mean, it wouldn't really be a big deal if I said it, but I probably wouldn't if he told me to. No one tells me what to fucking say. I'd probably lose my temper, though.

if someone demands I do anything, especially in an aggressive manner, you can pretty much guarantee I won't do it.

I've sang it when songs are playing and I've got too caught up but I'd never say it, it's a word with such...I don't know, such history and anger and hatred behind it. White people have never said it in a loving way, you know?

I would run away.


The only time I can say the word is when I'm singing alone to Oliver's Army by Elvis Costello.
