1950's-60's were not all that long ago, in 2 or 3 more generations it may be that way but its not that way today. If a brother wants to say that word he earned the right but that word coming out the mouth of a white man still sparks resentment at the context in which it was used by the white race. You don't have to like it and you don't have to understand it but it is what it is.
Look I'm not trying to be an asshole but the word is offensive. If you had the balls to ask the brothers on this site their level of offense taken to the word comin out your boys mouth, you might just feel like a real asshole.
If speaking the truth on what would happen should he utter that word on the streets pisses you off then I would encourage you to go get in the viper and give it a try.
Its not about smack its about common courtesy.

How exactly has todays "earned" it? I've seen dozens of articles where older black people are appalled by its rampant use by black youth and young adults.

Jump off the soapbox and quit your preaching, Jamal. Your ignorance only sets you back more. The word 'nigga' ceased to be a slur when pop culture embraced black culture, yet some of you uppity fucks still complain because white people talk like you, listen to the same music as you, and get through life just fucking fine without feeling the need to drop their head and move out of your way as you pass by. Newsflash, Nate X: Color doesn't entitle anybody to jackshit.

I play hoops with a lot of blackfolk. We are great friends and they even give me the arm-into-the-chest hug. Some are in insurance. Others are flat out thugs. But I know that the quickest way for me to eat lunch with PMUM again is to roll up there and say, "Sup nigga!" during the greetings.
Maybe the Bay Area is different and maybe this is one helluva long way to go to get Kid all riled up, but not a one of you in this thread will hit the court with, "Which one of you mark-ass niggaz got next?"
Not a one of you. Not in NoCal. Not in Augusta, Georgia. Not in Blair, Nebraska.
And, yes, it may be a double standard. And yes they may call you a cracka. But I've found that, "This cracka has credit, boi boi!" is sufficient to let them know you ain't a "lil white bitch".
