[QUOTE="James Abram, post: 2729114, member: 35369"] I myself am white, but I have many friends that are black, including one of my best friends. I have discussed this issue with them extensively, and IT IS ALL about context. The words **gger and **gga, are two completely different words with completely different meanings. THE "er" word is a very derogatory and offensive. However, the "a" word is a team of endearment among black friends used in place of "dude" or "brother". Heck, sometimes I'm even greeted as "wat up nigga". The context of the frat boys WAS clearly racist (whether that was their intent or not doesn't matter), and the context of the players was one of friendship. Just .02 from someone who RARELY posts or comments on forums. [/QUOTE]
