ThugLord187 Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Hi admins and mods. I would like to ask a question/request. Could someone filter the work 'Nigga' because i find it offencive as it was used for racism before, Personally, I dont feel comfortable with it being said around the forums like a normal word. Thanks, even if noone listens. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/268464-filtered-words/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaj. Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Well, actually, 'ni**er' is used as a derogatory term, 'nigga' however, is widely used as a term of endearment among the African-American communities. But really, are two little asterisks going to make you feel more comfortable? You know they're still saying 'nigga', so what's the point? I know we filter the more common swear words, but that's only because young children have access to the site.

ThugLord187 Posted March 2, 2007 Author Share Posted March 2, 2007 Well I mean it would be better if they all stopped saying it, especially non-Black people. But if I wasn't intetionally being racist to a white person and used an offencive word to white people, would that word be banned?

Pat Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Filtering it isn't going to stop people from using it. That's like telling someone "f*ck" is filtered, and expecting them to never use it again. Besides, it's been a while since I've acctually seen anyone use it. I'm sure this has to do with NY banning it, right?

ThugLord187 Posted March 2, 2007 Author Share Posted March 2, 2007 True, A valid point, and no it does not have anything to do with NY banning it, I didn't even know they did.

Chalk Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Well I mean it would be better if they all stopped saying it, especially non-Black people. Why is that? What many people say (like that etc) can be described as racist against the anglo-saxon community (white people). Unfortunately the law doesn't really do anything about that. It would be very hard to get a racism charge against a coloured person for discriminating on a white person. Kinda bullsh*t really.

ThugLord187 Posted March 2, 2007 Author Share Posted March 2, 2007 I didnt mean it in a racist way, I am all for equality, but i've had it with all this 'nigga' talk. Anyway, if it cant be solved which it probably cant, Just forget it.

Anyway, if it cant be solved which it probably cant, Just forget it. Blame our generation of hip hop and rap for bringing it into such a common vocabulary word. Nigga =/= ni**er, spelled differently, used in different context. Maybe ban Nigeria since its name is similar to ni**er.

Chalk Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Let me get this straight. You're from Niger and want to ban a word thats basically synonymous with your country? Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/268464-filtered-words/#findComment-4079492 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 ROFLMAO. Quite nice indeed Vito. Vito? Correct me if you will, but that picture was posted by Em. Still, very funny indeed.
