Did you ever stop and wonder that maybe that my THOSE NIGGAS WILL GET HIT BY A CAR THAT IS WHY THERE ARE NO BLACK GOFFS post was a joke and I was being sarcastic. And had your IQ been that of a slightly LARGER insect you would have known that by saying NIGGA IS ONLY A REAL WORD IN AFRICAN AMERICAN CULTURE is BY FAR MORE RACIST THEN ANYTHING I HAVE BEEN SAYING.

Adjust your set.

*ahem*

If I may..."Negro" and the other 'n' word are both real words, defined by the dictionary.

Official Definition of "Negro" by Merriam-Webster.

Official Definition of the other "N" word.

So yes, they are both real words, unfortunately. [I wish the last one wasn't, since it's an absolute horrible thing to call someone, and I hate it more than I hate country music.]

The Urban Dictionary disagrees with you, Onyx.

But it -is- right in that the word you're using is basically just a dumbed-down version of the original, and is just as insulting.

On the original Topic: Hi, I'm a West Indian American Goth and I live in NY. I know I have a large group of friends in the city who are all "non-white" Goths and because of this I have to take an opposite stance from you, I've seen and known and been friends with so many African American/Black Goths I don't know how you haven't seen one. Not if you live in the Tri-State area.
I don't think the color of one's skin has anything to do with whether a certain style looks good on any one. I've seen so many lighter skin people look horrible in "Goth wear" and I've seen just as many darker skinned people look amazing in the same thing. It's a matter of knowing your body and what does and doesn't look good on you and sometimes tweaking a style so it suits you more. As it was said already there are so many styles under the heading of "Goth" everyone of every race and skin tone should find something they look good in.

On the whole "Nigga" thing: I have to say from a linguistics stand point that if it is something that is widely used and recognizable with a meaning that is immediately understood by a group or culture, it is a word. Claiming that it is only a word to African Americans and so it is not a word is invalid because you wouldn't use that argument with any other culture.
If you need to go even simpler than that Nigga is merely the "N" word said in dialect.

Hi!
Yes I do live in the Tri-State area and the only time I see other goths is when I go to manhattan. But I do have to agree with you any person of any color would look good with the goth look.

You know I knew a Afro-American Goth in college and he wore black and white plaid sweaters. Without ever knowing each other a guy (who is also Afro-American) from school wore something similiar when he became Goth. There might be something there. I also enjoy black and white plaid patterns. Perhaps you should wear sweaters. Another popular preferrence is sweater vest with varying sizes on the stripe.

It's just a thought. Going to the club now and again, an Industrial guy dyes is corn rows blue and wear canvas military gear and combat boots like most Industrialites.

No, fuck that shit. You are completely pulling an argument out of your ass and you're not going to justify it by saying "to me it makes sense"
How the fuck do you think the English language was created, dipshit? Do you think some god gave us the goddamn Oxford dictionary?

Tam: "negro" isn't a racist term, at least I wouldn't consider it so. Unless you would consider caucasian to be a racist term as well.

Also, props to Allan as always for not taking any bullshit.

There really are people that dark, I know a few and you honestly can't see them at night. Especially if they're wearing black.

Really now? How so?
So language really doesn't exist if it's not on a dictionary? Why do new words keep appearing? How is that possible?!
