Nope.... unless I'm singing along to "Insane in the Brain" or another song (like Snoop's Gin and Juice) that features it prominently. And then I'd be careful nobody heard me who might be offended.

I thought this was going to be about the word No with my kids.

I honestly don't think I've ever said it in my life. Never once. Fwiw, I'm white.

Never. We are black.

I don't. My husband does occasionally (we are black) around his friends, but he knows it is like fingernails on a chalkboard to me. I don't, however, look black and I have had white people use the word around me unwittingly.

No. I'm a white, Jewish woman. If my husband ever used it I would threaten divorce. Some things are really just unacceptable.

I've never heard my parents or older sibling (we're both late 30's) use it, though my parents are what I think of as unintentionally racist. As in my father will tell us about getting in a minor fender-bender in downtown Miami and then add "But I didn't get out of the car to exchange information - the guy probably had a gun. Hey, it's Miami - it's all gangs there!" and he'd think that's funny and then not truly understand if I tried to explain why it's offensive.

I don't use it. I don't socially know anyone who uses it. I can't understand why any one other than a racist or a self-hating black person would use it.
