Is saying "nigger" racist?

You see, this would go a lot better if you can tell us it was your Christian parents taught you to call people niggers.

Then SD and Borg could be like "Yeah! Fuck you LZ, we told you so!" And Aron Ra could do another stupid video about how bad religion is and I end up in some inane debate with everyone on whether or not your parents are real Christians or some bullshit like that. It's what we do here..
Sounds sad. I say nigger because saying nigger is based.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigger said:
In the English language, the word nigger typically is an ethnic slur used against black people, especially African Americans. Because it is considered extremely offensive, even if only mentioned and not used as a slur, it is often referred to by the euphemism "the N-word". It is also in use with a more neutral meaning among African Americans, primarily as nigga.

The word originated in the 18th century as an adaptation of the Spanish word negro, a descendant of the Latin adjective niger, which means "black".[1] Over time it took on a derogatory connotation[2] and became a racist insult by the 20th century. Accordingly, it began to disappear from general popular culture. Its inclusion in classic works of literature has sparked controversy and ongoing debate.

As you can see its old language but as a society we are growing and now we see it as an ethnic slur. We once had slave we grew up and now see it as bad to keep people as slaves. We cannot forget the past because if we do we will fall back into it.

What are you on about? Are you drunk or something? This thread isn't about imaginary friends, LZ, this thread is about the use of language.

Is it bad to use a word because a group of people get offended by it, or it was used against a group of people in a derogatory manner previously? What if I use nigger in private so that no one gets offended? Is it still wrong to say nigger? Also, I don't think using the nigger will make us racists again, especially when used in a joking or a casual manner, and not in a derogatory way.

A group of people thought it was a slur and it was derogatory to does people. Why would you use that word at all even if you are with someone that does not mind the use of that word. If people would refrain from using that word it would die out. If we learn our children not to use swear words or slurs they will know better. But the vibe i get from you that you are doing this on purpose to see what you can get with.

Why would I use it? Because I enjoy using it. I find it funny. I don't care if it dies out, and I don't care if my children do or don't use slurrs or swear words, that's their choice.

Niggers is a word that is bad because its used as a racist word.
The real problem with what you're saying is that you used its where should've used it's. Alternatively you could've said its use as a racist word

It's very important not to make such mistakes. Grammar is important!
