Well that will just depend on your situation and setting. I've been called a ****er, with malicious intent, maybe 3 or 4 times in my life. I've been called nig/****a/****er by friends, watched movies/listened to music that heavily used the word (both ****er and ****a), and spent a lot of time around people who incorporate it in their daily vocabulary pretty much every day.

There's honestly probably not a single day that goes by that I don't hear the word in some form at least once but I don't get all pissy about it. Like I said, its all about intent, which, let's be honest, is NOT hard to decipher.

...For the record, I don't use the word myself.

I'm sure this makes me cold and insensitive, but I was hoping a lightpole was gonna fall on everyone in the street and that was the "timber".

You're right, it always depends on the situation and setting. So again, why risk it? Why bother? Why not just use some term that doesn't have the potential to offend someone and make you look ignorant? I mean you admit that you're only comfortable saying it around friends, which acknowledges that you know how much it could offend someone. I don't understand it and I've never heard an explanation that makes sense.

Look at those little kids acting just like them.

They never had a chance.

I actually said I don't use the word myself; therefore, I can't argue the merits of its use. I'm just giving my take on it..

It only makes me uncomfortable to hear it in certain situations, not even because it is the word that it is, but because I look at it just like any other foul word. I cringe when I hear people calling each other "****a" too much/loudly in public much the same as I do when I hear a guy call his friend a "pillowbitergot" or someone says "****" in front of children or old people.

As far as the motivations for the people that do use the word, I can't say. I think it was Micjones that once linked to a passage from a book about Martin Luther King Jr in which it states that even he used the word. I want to say he did so in a playful ribbing manner (kind of making fun of white people for saying it) and it stuck; can't remember for sure though.

Their parents were probably raised in the exact same way. Oh well, it's the circle of ****ed up life.

She probably bought the pop with an EBT.

That city was Atlanta?

Reminds me of those kids in KC who cold cocked the bus driver for fun. Yikes.

What the **** does Shickenyale mean anyway?

"She can yell"

Damn, totally thought it was "shit gettin' real".

I am as white as they come, apparentlyLMAO

I see. Interdasting.

I couldn't make out all the words in the video because of all the racket in the background.
Then i see someone post Shickenyale, and i'm like what the **** over.

I agree with this, see it all the time, doesn't matter the color

We'd be forever entertained if our government would issue out beer belly cams and tasers to everybody 18 & over.
