African Americans only do this...WHY?

[Namekian Maranantha]

Any thoughts? No other group of people collectively (for the most part) call each other words that were initially used to degrade them in every sense.

That is, The ****** word - {THE "NIGG3R" word}

No people but African AMericans for some reason dont feel shame for using the very word their slave owners gave them to point out their inferiority / their ignorance / their savage behavior etc.. perhaps black people subconsciously feel that using it is valid since the majority are indeed savage, ignorant and slavish in character?? (im not saying it does)

why would a people actually FIGHT and make ARGUMENTS to keep on using the word?? They will argue with another who says "Hey, its kinda weird that you guys call each other that bad, negative and silly word. Perhaps you guys should stop." They would likely respond with "its not the not the "N" word with "ER" but with an "A" --- as if that makes a difference.

They even want exclusive rights to saying it...?? They've essentially taken full ownership of the word and are proud of it.

blacks for some strange reason think using NI99A instead of NIGG3R is some how different...As if someone sat down and intentionally said "Ok lets make a distinction between the "GA" and "ER" usage of the word"

No one did that.The word is just pronounced that way by improper english. Just like "Chopper" can be pronounced "Choppa" / "Baller" can be pronounced "BALLA" and so on. This so-called distinction is probably a way to make those who use the word feel better without they themselves even knowing

Its obvious others use degrading slurs. But its different.

Those slurs are not the same.

They dont hold the same weight as "NIGG3R" does.

The frequency in the usage differs as well. It's part of common speech, embedded within the fabric of almost every sentence.

I'm exaggerating with this thread a little. Its a tactic to get people thinking and reflecting.

I see what you mean though OP. You should have worded the thread differently thougg because then it shifts the attention of blacks using the n word to the fact that we can name other races that use degrading words with each other.

 

[BmoreGorilla]

I normally don't neg people but this is an exception

No shyt now of them hold weight as much as ****** but if we're honest there are other offensive terms that people use lightly.

the word "GAY' originally meant / means "Happy." Its different.

It doesnt hold the same weight as a "NIGG3R"

im not sure what weight those slurs carry with those other races or ethnicities
nor are you.
pay attention to the uproar when someone uses a term thats deemed historically offensive to Jewish peoples
-see: blood libel see: gypped
i personally have heard Jewish girls refer to themselves as Japs [Jewish American Princess]
i personally know gays that refer to themselves and friends as all sorts of gay associated "terms"

now apparently you were just loosely joking with the title/
eta correction
it was just a "tactic for people to think"

Man the majority of us are Black here in America. weve most likely already given thought to the word ****** and nikka.
dont try to be cute

if you want to have a discussion about the word then go ahead and try
but dont type slick shyt and then try to backtrack
