Can White People Say Nigga?

This conversation about white people saying the word n*gga has come up before, and since Alec Baldwin tweeted about how much he loves Jay-Z and Kanye West's Watch The Throne banger "N*ggas In Paris," I've decided to express how I feel about white people saying the word n*gga when singing along to rap songs. 

As a Black person I don't care. 

Now, I'm NOT saying that white people should be able to address their Black friends as n*ggas, or even say n*gga in their daily lives, but what I'm saying is that I KNOW that MOST white people don't edit the word n*gga out of their vocab during a rap sing-a-long.

And I'm not even mad at them. 

Most white people won't do it in front of their Black friends, but when I've asked them if they say the word n*gga while rapping along, they've all admitted that they have. 

Jay-Z and Kanye West made a hit song entitled "N*ggas in Paris," and a lot of white people love the song. 

When someone asks a white person what their favorite song is on Watch The Throne, what are they supposed to say? 

Is their response supposed to be "Bleep In Paris," "Brothas In Paris," or "*Pause* In Paris?"

Or are they supposed to refer to "N*ggas In Paris" as "ball so hard?" 

I know a lot of white people who aren't even comfortable with saying n*gga in the title of "N*ggas In Paris," which is totally normal, but if they respond to the question "What's your favorite track on Watch The Throne?" with "N*ggas In Paris," I am not going to stone them. 

I feel like all Black people know that in the privacy of a white person's home or car, they say the word n*gga when rapping along to their favorite rapper's song. 

I'm not saying that white people can say the word n*gga, but what are they supposed to do when they're singing "Jigga That N*gga?"

Comedian Chris Rock made a who stand-up set based off the question, "Can white people say n*gga?" 

Chris goes through how awkward and hilarious it is to see a white person try to sing along to a rap without saying the word n*gga, and it's quite frankly hilarious to see them sweat. 

Some people may not agree with me, but when rappers title their songs n*gga this or n*gga that, it's a given that people of all races will say n*gga when reciting the title. They listen to rap music too. 

At the end of the day, I will say that I am not offended when white people or people of other races say n*gga when rapping along to songs. 

But in the same breath, I will say to white people and people of other races to not address me as "Your n*gga" or greet me "What up my n*gga?" That is a no go. 

But the long age old question returns, can white people say n*gga? The answer is not...really.
