2016 can we retire the n-word?

[Dre Space Age]

Black women still gonna call you a nikka when you start acting up. I pissed off a saved Christian who always go to church twice a week never curses say 'nikka if you don't get yo mind right yadda yadda nag nag nag' I think you get the picture...

I've already retired it. Unfortunately, I have no control over other people. I use to trip when white folks used it when I was younger, but know it's so common to hear it from non-blacks that I just keep it moving now if they aren't talking to me.

I'm the same way, use to be on that "i'm not your igga" tip when I white person said, but now i'm just like "i have too much to lose to defend against this bullshyt word"

Dap + rep OP

Yup if black people stop calling each other the "n-word" surely white people and other non black groups shall follow suit and refrain from using it as well and shall finally treat black folks with the respect and dignity we deserve and we will never be called ******s again ...

it's not about that, but it is about respecting the heritage - this passage that we allowed for non black to exploit this word and use it against us AGAIN is dehumanizing . It's like Germans opening up the concentration camps and throwing parties and cooking coal fired brick oven pizzas in the gas chambers.

self respect is greater than assimilating

 

[Perfectson]

I'll give it up. But what am I supposed to do when it comes up in a song that I'm rapping to? There's gonna be that weird pause.

thats what i do, just hit the pause

Respect yourself by starting a black business or supporting a black business.

money isn't the route for self respect by brother, and I'm deeply sorry and concerned that you feel that it is. Metaphysically, you need to love yourself and your heritage and not allow others to steal pains and horrors of the past and regurgitate them to you and make you feel comfortable with that. if a non-black (or even black person) calls you the n-word, if you feel some sort of way, it's because your ancestors are slowly chastising your entire being and soul for allowing this atrocity to happen and waste the blood , sweat, and tears that they gave up for you.
