I prefer to say nig-nogs for nitwit no goods aka thugs, gansters, criminals.

[AlexW]

“What about nigra?”

Blacks Niggas are more racist than Whites

~ Larry Elder, The Ten Things You Can't Say In America

Fo shizzle.

[Old Sarge]

I could go on, but then I would be accused of speaking racism....instead of speaking the truth.

Are you sure? I know it was used freely among the Brits. One of Ian Fleming’s Bond stories had a chapter entitled “Nigger Heaven.”

The chapter was retitled in the American edition.

[dragnet2]

You mean the C word?

Oh gezzzz...Don’t do that again.

[dragnet2]

And what ever you do, don’t say the entire CAC phrase.

[PapaBear3625]

I know it was used freely among the Brits.

The Brits used it for any dark-skinned people, like darker Indians, not necessarily just Africans.

[lightman]

You forgot to put the “C” in front of “rap”.

[lightman]

Don’t say “ you’re an enigma” to a black coworker unless he is fluent in the language.

Or you're quicker with a suckerpunch.

Best not to.

Best to teach yours not to.

It is dishonorable to demean a man for what without question he is born.

Back in the ‘80s my best friend and I were in my office during lunch hour, just shooting the breeze and discussing our weight issues. We were arguing whose body was worse, each saying, “I’m wider than you.” “No, I’M wider than YOU.” “No! I’m wider!” Back and forth, kidding around.

In walks Celeste, our resident black victim who was always looking for race-based trouble. “Why you talkun’ ‘bout who be whiter?!” She was incensed to hear the word “white” (wide). Pat and I went into fits of laughter. I guess we’re lucky we weren’t slapped with a harassment suit or something.

Has anyone seen my “Flesh” crayon? It’s missing from the box.

[Revolting cat!]

Cain't say it, and cain't drink it!

[twister881]

And don’t accuse anyone of being “niggardly.”

[Private_Sector_Does_It_Better]

Define “okay”

In my neighborhood the term was “moolies”, but then again we had weird ethnic slurs for all groups, including ourselves
