Skin tone is not always a good indicator of race or identity.

this dude I work with is tanned middle top I think he might be Indian or something, he always says it and we tell him stfu

he tells us he dark enough to say it

sub-saharan descendants only

I’m literally pale/tan & I’ve never had any issues whenever I said nigga in public

I don’t think it has anything to do with skin tone but if people can identify you as african or african American

I’m training myself not to say it anymore though

Mods.

You’ve to be black

Listen, you can tell if someone is black or not

And I don't mean by just skin tone, I mean you can truly tell if someone is living a black experience with 5 minutes of meeting them

If they are they can say it but if not f*** nah

Have you printed this off for reference every time u meet someone?

stop

i-i-i-impossible

I'd say she's dark enough now

When your black homies tell you it’s cool to say it.. that’s a trap right?

s*** happened to me once like 10 years ago w some homies I was making music w and I was like nah I’m good man lol

S*** is basically gone from my vocab. Once you stop hanging around people who say, s*** just naturally doesn't come out anymore. My family doesn't use it and my circle has gotten smaller since I got older. Dropping nigga so often be sounding immature as hell.

Im white, so dont think i get to speak on who gets to say it

If you grew up in a household that don't say it, don't force that s***. And I mean if you black.

real

never understood why some of us british afrocaribbeans say it i know no one’s saying it in their house

that’s one of the reasons i don’t use it
