Can other oppressed minorities use the N word/racial terms?
Legitimately curious as a non-Caucasoid myself seeing as its a term of endearment for Blacks to other blacks. If a Mexican, Hindu, or any non negro person uses it- are we oppressing them or practicing some undue form of cultural appropriation? As ancestors of said marginalized communities were oppressed on a much greater scale than enslavement, does it give people of non-White or non black ancestry the OK to use theword?
Thoughts?

As a Black man from the islands that knows and respect his culture, hates that word. Not because of the so called power it has over me, but because am simply too proud to affliate myself with such a useless word. So I don't care who uses it.
No one race has the power to tell you what words to use, and if anyone tell you otherwise, just tell them to go **** themsleves. Unless they approaches you with the proper respect.
Any Black man that tells you they've taken the N word back, are full of shit. Ice Cube, Jay Z for instance. If you pay attention, it's always the uneducated that says that.
One last, every damn race since the beginning of time have been slaves, Blacks need to shut the **** up and move on. If X and King had lived to see what Blacks have turned too in this day and age, they would have committed suicide. For the Black race, is the only race that haven't progress in the last 40 yrs.
Also, before some white knight comes on here and say you can't say that need to know one thing from me. Who appointed you to speak on anyone's behalf, and **** you!
I would assume the answer would be yes. I have seen it done, it just seems you have to spell it in a more "Colorful' way and that seems acceptable on this forum.
I have seen the "F' word as used in the negative for the homosexual insult used that way here so that should make it ok for the"N" word.

Its okay until someone gets a bug up their ass and decides its not, most likely someone who was okay with it until that point, probably because you pissed them off somehow.
Best not to give anyone that type of leverage in a disagreement.
Not even going to get into your use of the term 'oppressed minority', as anyone in the US is free to be whatever they choose to make of themselves.

I wonder if half of these people even believe the insane drivel they vomit forth onto the Internet or are they merely doing it for clicks, shares and ultimately ad revenue.

Obviously, if you don't want to get fired, watch your mouth at work. And if you like your friends and they don't like those words, watch your mouth. But other than that, why oh why do people empower words so much? Stop being so sensitive.
If you're black and disapprove of the word N*gga because you believe the "legacy of slavery" is so toxic that it must be erased from public consciousness, it would behoove you to remember that the most prominent legacy of slavery is the very presence of millions of African-descended people (that would be you) in america to begin with. Therefore, all African-Americans who truly want to erase the legacy of slavery should immediately self-deport to Sub-Saharan Africa. Any takers? No? Didn't think so.
Lol yeah, you go ahead and keep telling yourself that champ

Never let anyone else define you. Don't be a jerk just to be a jerk, but if you are expressing your true inner feelings and beliefs, or at least trying to express that inner child, and everyone gets pissed off about it, never NEVER apologize for it. Let them think what they want, let them define you in their narrow little minds while they suppress every last piece of them just to keep a friend that never liked them for themselves in the first place.
