Why do African Americans call their FRIENDS 'nigga'? - Kind of rude tbh?

[shoplifter7]

That's like if I, a jew, greeted my friends; 'Hi, kike'

 

[Shroom King]

Because they are garbage people.

 

[:gold:]

cuz they be niggas.

 

[and 1 other]

Prolly for the same reason that black folks keep calling me 'Monica'.

 

[Kevin Spencer]

It’s their way of taking the word nigger, shorting it, and owning it as their own.
like a “haha, you hurt us if we embrace nigga”, or some such shit.

 

[419]

why do you not feed your kids

 

[Epic Fedora Man]

Most black people have Tourettes and unwillingly say 'nigga' when they talk.

 

[Poppavalyim Andropoff]

Too lazy to say an extra letter
N I G G A
N I G G E R

If they had any sense they’d just use M U D

Whey waste precious fried chicken eating seconds with those pesky extra consonants

 

[timecop]

it's their own funny way of saying "fellow"

 

[MrTroll]

Because even they can't remember or pronounce their made-up gibberish names like "JaShanaquelle" or "LeTovius" and "nigga" is nice and simple.

 

[Long Tongue Silver]

Because they're niggers. No other explanation needed.
