The word should be allowed. Being offended means nothing. I find socks with sandals offensive but I don't go up to them and tell them how offended I am.

Go back to your safe space if you get offended by setting as stupid as bad style choices. Comparing a deeply racist term to that is about as idiotic and ignorant as I have seen.
The word shouldn't be used at all if folk get that offended by just hearing it. Personally I think it all depends the context it's used as to if it's racist or not.
That's a terrible argument.
She has every right to use it. Freedom of speech. That said, I have every right to not like her because she uses it.
Valerie said she was ENTITLED to use the word because Eddie Murphy also used the word in his stand up shows and said "Now all of a sudden, i can't use it? Sorry, i live in a black neighborhood. I came here and didn't see colour"
She said the home she moved into was a rodent-infested dump and came into the area "colourblind" and said "When you are a pioneer, like i am, it's not easy. i'm the only white person who owns and lives on this street"

What I mean is why call each other the N word if the word is so offensive.

I should have been more specific, but that wasn't the part of your post I was objecting to. I was objecting to the notion that if somebody finds something offensive then people shouldn't use it, since it sets a dangerous standard.

No, shut up. And again, no.

No but I dont need to.
generally they aint bothered
only media makes it seem bad
In fact you can connect with, especially black people from the ghetto on a deeper level using the word n---a (cant believe I'm even censoring this). But yeah its regular to banter back and forth and be like: n---a this, n---a that, you know what im saying my n---a ? Get into a popular rap song yall both can enjoy, they aint going to look at you funny for saying n---a.
So nah im not saying EVERY black person is fine with you saying n---a, but neither does every any group of people all approve any one thing, you can never please everyone.

Yeah I don't know where you're from or who you know, but don't refer to a stranger as one, then get surprised at some negativity.

there seems to be some confusion, yeah you dont walk up to random people and say "yo what up n---a".
I mean but that applies to alot of things, I dont walk up to random white people and say "what up cr---a".
Same basic principle, its a title of endearment, and yes I call people cr---a, amongst many other things im sure people would scoff at
Please just stop, you have no concept of what you are speaking and it's actually rustling my jimmies a little bit.

You know what walk up to a black dude and call him "My ni***", please be sure to film it as well.
Non-black people do it all the time as well with other non-blacks even. I have greeted all my friends one time or another in this manner.

I have never heard a non-black person call another non-black person that word. Maybe you do it all the time, I dunno', but that certainly isn't a thing most people do.
