They become angered when a white person uses the term, yet they nonchalantly call their brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers, and any other black acquaintances, "nigga". http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/35764 Why are black people so hypocritical over the term, "nigga"? They become angered when a white person uses the term, yet they nonchalantly call their brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers, and any other black acquaintances, "nigga".<br /><br />Look at it this way.

I ended up behind her at the checkout. Should I have asked if she was OK, or would that have only embarrassed her?<br /><br />If i read the question right, she was near the fall and *later* ended up behind her in line. i think it would have been dragging up an embarassing situation to ask at that point, unless the lady was visibly in distress and might need further assistance. . .
