That's not always the case. I know of plenty of black people that can't STAND it when other blacks call each other the "N" word. But, it seems to be a difference when a black guy is talking about his "niggas" (homeys) as opposed to a non-black person calling me a goddamned dirty "nigger".

I have a half mexican nephew and niece, a half Puerto Rican niece, and my daughter is half black. As has been stated here many times (and on many threads), words are just words. Why the fuss?

I would say that it would depend on the person, the situation, and how things are said.
