I don't remenber exactly who used the word before. I think it was one of those guys that got banned permantly that used once. Anyways Raz and Tex will work on a list. So changes are coming just wait patiently. If you see someone using the word again PM that person, ask him/her to edited, if they refused report it.
Hmm, TV doesn't really censor the word nigga, I hear it about 30 times a week on Chappel's Show on comedy central. Many black people use the word all the time to refer to other black people, almost in the same sense as "brotha" is used. I don't see why nigga should be censored. If any racist word is going to be censored it should be nigger, since that is rarely used in any posotive way.

Okay.. well everyone knows that "f*ck" is a curse.... so is "sh*t" "b*tch" etc and that is why when u try to post woth those words they r blocked out. they r offensive words and no one should be subjected to them.
So then tell me this...why the hell is nigga allowed like its nothing... im not talking about nigger that means an ingnorant person. i mean nigga... its just as wrong... yet for some reason KMC does not feel the need to block it. wtfif u argue that is not a real word...and while its not in the dictionary (yet)... thats still not so not true anymore. How many times do u hear ppl at skool, work, whereever say it? even t.v. freaking censors nigga and not ass or b*tch...
I for one am glad to see this slang word 'nigga' or what ever it is not being asterisked out because that would mean that our administrator would be fluent in Ebonics I find comfort knowing he is not 🙂

dont pick a fight u'll loose. cuz first of all... what freakign language to we use on KMC.....ENGLISH (except for the spanish club thread). secondly... this is about censorship. u may think im taking it too far, but if ur gonna censor some words... u might as well censor most of the offensive words.
what im trying to say is... it has to be all or nothing. like there is a reason the KKK is not censored...because if we censor some of the things we think is bad...then who is to say when the censoring will stop. do u guys sorta se what i mean now...
but over all i have mixed feelings..i mean this is just a forum...i dunno im just such a passionate person.* and FYI, im not mad at the word nigger... like i said it means an ignorant person... im talking about nigga...
This is how I think the word can be consider offensive....
Let's say I'm Anglo, and I approach a member that is African American, I call her/him N****a. That person will find it offensive if say that to her/him. But if that AA approaches another AA and calls him/her N****a I guess it can be consider okay. That particular word has become very slang. Is better not to used it, someone can get offended by it.
Is like when people from Latin America are called "Mexican". They are not all from Mexico they are from different Spanish speaking countries. So of course is not right to call them "Mexican". Is better to called them either "Hispanic" or "Latinos". Just my POV on this whole slang referrences.
😐 we dont need more rules or censors
anyone dumb or ignorant enough to use that word in the wrong context should just have the post edited and a warning, leaving the word free to be used by others that use it in everyday speech
even though f--k is starred, its not like i cant type it out anyway fúc*, and even if i said "i hate n*ggers" you'd still know what i mean
censoring does NOTHING
