There is a small detail that most niggas seem to be ignored there, outside of the usa nigga has no negative connoctations, but rather, it only describes a person whose skin is dark. The world is know because either the person listens to rap or because nigga sounds a lot like black in their native language.

racial slurs should be ignored on the same level that profanity is largely ignored here.

I see it as a very centralist and close minded way of thinking, as the black guys from the usa tend to assume that there are not any other types of black guys in the rest of the world.

People from all over the world have no reason to learn the history of the black slaves that live in the usa or at least no more reason than to learn the discrimination that the ainu tribe suffers in japan, or the casts of the indian religion.

Um.....generally speaking, cursing does not cause the same detriment as spouting racial epithets towards someone so it can never be ignored on the same level. As far as the guild is concerned.....well, I don't need to go into details. People just need to use common sense. Expect to be pointed out from the rest of the other shitty attackers if you feel the need to look witty (stupid and desensitized) and add racial epithets to the equation of your attack against another member.

There's a little truth to that but still, a blanketed statement; you can't assume the entire rest of the world (offline) thinks like this. Online? Probability is definitely higher.

Nah, not really. Supposedly white people, with skins as light as day, can be "ggAs." The thing with the "a" word is that it can have so many different, including negative, connotations, that it isn't funny.
Personally, I see it as a term of ignorance, and blatant disregard for the history of the word from which it derives itself. I still view it the word as demeaning, even if I probably wouldn't ban someone over it, because it's just too far gone.

i dunno i always saw racial slurs as the equivalent of "yo mama" jokes: it might tick you off (especially if you love your mum), but it's probably not serious.

I wouldn't exactly say it's an African American issue. I've been to many a quote, unquote, "Black" Nation and the word is uttered almost equally. The issue with African Americans sometimes though is that, yes, they sometimes give their country label to the entire group when there is a lot more variation. There has been a huge failure to realize that a Black person living in Europe, is not an African-American.

It's more so the fact that people can get away with using stuff like terms like Gringo and others to be offensive, yet when one person does it stupidly

wth

In Spanish and Portugeese its Negro, so...

Will you ignorant niggers please shut the hell up?

Is this it?
This is what I got all those ass whoopings for?
I had a dream once.
It was a dream that little black boys and little black girls would drink from the river of prosperity, freed from the thirst of oppression.
But lo and behold, some 4 decades later.
What have I found, but a bunch of trifling, shiftless, good for nothing niggers?

And I know some of you don't want to hear me say that word.
Its the ugliest word in the english language. But that's what I see now. Niggers.
And you don't want to be a nigger.
Cause niggers are living contradictions.
Niggers are full of unfulfilled ambition.
Niggers wax and wane.
Niggers love to complain.
Niggers love to hear themselves talk, but hate to explain.
Niggers love being another man's judge and jury.
Niggers procrastinate until its time to worry.
Niggers love to be late, niggers hate to hurry.

In all honesty the black community in america should just cut it out, they werent the only country where blacks were exploited, heck in africa itself blacks exploited other blacks with slavery inter tribes, the koreans and the japanese abused each other to no end.
But in their mindsets they were grown to believe that "their" pain and suffering is justified and that they can demand retributions out of it, they want to be treated different to be equal, they want more rights than other citizens in order to be Equal.

another great example http://mugenguild.com/forumx/index.php?topic=80851.0

There is racism, a lot, out there in the streets , in the minds of persons, but to react to racist terms only when directed at us is racist in itself, its saying "yes we are different and need to be treated different"

Now imagine, someone randomly goes like "My niggers and I..." they are being just stupid, someone goes like "you..you..double nigger!!!" they are just trying to be funny, someone turns to you and replies "Thats the problem with you fucking niggers." thats a ban.

To think of the word nigger as more offensive than other slurs is in itself racist, it separates one race and makes it different from the others.
