Ridiculous post erased, however I am going to reply to the thread so the thread isn't deleted. - Deron
"Nigga/my pals" is considered to be a discriminating and derogatory term....Not to mention racist. So I doubt you would be allowed to use it

People who are insecure or just plain dumb get offended by such things. One of my best friends is a nigga, and he doesn't get offended by it, and he even jokes about stuff like that. It's not a big deal really, if people only had abit of self irony one could use ethnic profanities in a more humorous way.
Oh yeah dont get me wrong I dont think it's an insulting term really. But the the people behind the whole "political correctness" thing do.
this thread is ghey cause he will warn you if you're saying something out of line... besides, you could have sent him a pm, not making a thread.
i agree with the mexican in this one,
anyway, how do i call a Afro-AMERICAN that lives in Europe? :zombie:

That's why you call them black. You don't call white people living in the US European-American. Plus this just adds to my point, all this political correctness just confuses people.
LOL this thread totally rules
About the my pals thing, I think there's a little but of overraction here. Today it seems that the n-word is a marketing thing or something. A white man say my pals on fuckin' tv, godammit. It WAS a derogatory but with all the Hip-Hop thing and the commercialization of the ''ghetto style'', it's does not have the impact it has. Plus, LOTS a blacks call themselves my pals so if it was a bad word then they would be fuckin' themselves in the ass.

Speak for yourself.
no, its a double standard. I dare you to call a black dude a my pals, see what happens. and, its all about the context whether its meantto be derogatory. but, why use it, really? no real point no matter who you are.
A lots of words that are not suppose to be derogatory can bocome it then, it's the term as much as the context. And about using it, it's just another word like dude, 'tard or Gno, its a double standard.

I agree with some parts of what you said, but definately not "LOTS a blacks call themselves my pals so if it was a bad word then they would be fuckin' themselves in the ass.".... I mean there's no good use to come from saying it it's just a stupid senseless word so no need to use it, if some blacks use it then fine its their choice, but there's many who dislike the fact they do because they feel it TEACHES WHITE PEOPLE IT'S OK TO SAY IT. Weird, huh
on a sidenote...
I think it's ironic that the word "my pals" comes from portuguese "negro" which's the respectful term to refer to them(actually just a literary word for the colour 'black'). The colour is named like "preto" which's the disrespectful one, and has EXACTLY the same context as "my pals". lol eh
