Why is the word "n.i.g,g,e.r." offensive to some people?

What an obtuse question!

Simply because that word was used by certain people precisely <as> a term of offense to describe 'some other people'.

Your question would have much more validity if it were "why did white people decide to use that word as a term of offense in the first place?"

Yes we know that black people use the word within their own community, just as gay people use the word 'queer'. But that doesn't change the fact that the word was first given currency as a deliberate insult.

black people call themselves is ok.
Other people calling blacks with that word is ofeensively racist.
ok?

No, it in simple terms tells you what variety of fool is looking the question. by potential of utilising the observe "scoffer" they suspect it lends credence to their ideals using fact their holy e book made the STARTLING PREDICTION that "scoffers" could poke relaxing at Christians ridiculous ideals. i'm going to allow you comprehend this plenty. If this is all it takes to be a prophet, i ought to start my ministry. using fact i can make so plenty greater unique "prophecies" than that.

becuz its a sign of hate,
way back when ppl used that word tomake black ppl feel degraded , like they weren`t as important as others.
but sadly its still used like that today.

Well, all words are just the same, the difference is the way we perceive the word...

People decided to perceive the word ****** as an insult by Whitres, and only a Black can call another Black a ******

Currently, this word is registered as a rude word and its usage is concidered as an INSULT, and thats why its being blocked on Yahoo! Answers...

Same thing for the F-Word...we perceive it as a rude word and its usage is bad, although the same word could have been used to give a different meaning (maybe a better meaning)...

Because some people are weak minded and let words get to them.

Its kind of like gentile just plain racist.
incidentally the f-bomb see below
was a legal definition
Fornication under carnal knowledge

Would you like to be called it if you had black skin.
I am white but would still be offended if I heard someone call a person that name. The word was used in bad times for coloured people. I notice some modern day RAP artists use the word in some of their songs. They have no idea, and are probably limited in their Spoken Language skills.

Is this a serious question?

This should be obvious, why even ask, other than for the shock value. Ask a real question please.
