African Americans only do this...WHY?

[ridedolo]

i agree OP, although I dont try to censor or high-horse black people who decide to use it.

but personally- I was listening to all about the benjamins on tidal, and they censored the word "hebrews" in the line "you should do what we do, stack chips like hebrews". think about that. the white owned (jewish) corporations have no problems promoting and funding ignorant, self destructive music - yet you're not even allowed to say a non-deragtory word about them?

people dont want to admit it, but we've been conditioned to call ourselves that. Why use a word that was slung at your ancestors while they were being lynched.

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

It doesnt hold the same weight as a "NIGG3R"

We know damn well they aint using the "happy gay" when insulting something.

OP is saying why are we fighting to defend a word that was used to describe us negatively. Let's not deflect by using the old "well (insert ethnicity) does it too" because now you sound like the very people ya'll hate soo much that say blacks kill blacks too.

 

[KravenMorehead™]

All nikkas who don't say "nikka" breath stink

 

[Hybrinetics]

You're right, but you'll just get negs, ad hominem deflects, and "they do it too".. even though none of the terms named in this thread hold any weight

 

[pawdalaw]

Maybe it's because black folk have been held in the longest forms of oppression in history and at some point they just said fukk it! This word Will mean only what I want it to. The word is now a privilege to be used by blacks only.


*Someone post the video of the 2 white boys getting chin checked for using it.

I feel you
I dont try to censor either.

I have two brothers who use it as thought it makes their teeth white like Paul mooney said (1:13) and i hang with them often no problem.

J cole is one my fav artist (although he's been falling off) and he uses the "Nikka" word as if his very life career depended on it

 

[Pifferry]

Because they don't consider it ****** like you do.

I thought they were fighting over spilled food? Apparently folks were saying someone just titled it like that for shyts and giggles

 

[Sonic Boom of the South]

thread is an example of self hate

op flat out lies and says AA do something that all people do
just so he can say something negative about black people
i put all my money on the fact he is African and just want to shyt on Black Americans

and people wonder why the majority of black americans feel no ties to Africa

get this racist shyt out here

 

[Hybrinetics]

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

If you know it's not the same then why did you post it?

 

[Namekian Maranantha]

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

No one is back tracking, what are you talking about.

Lets discuss. thats why i made the thread.

People like you arent getting it here.

OBVIOUSLY theres words like bytch and GAY and Whatever else that other people call themselves.
But again none like the WORD ******.

also..

NONE WITH the same frequency of usage. THe word bytch (which originally means / meant femal dog) isnt a general term thats passively used abroad amongst females. Nor is GAY (which originally means / meant happy) amongst homosexuals and so on...

In my experience When other races use degrading terms with each other its either in a playful manner, or they are Intentionally trying to degrade them for one reason or other.

None like African Americans. The ****** word is almost used synonymous with the word PERSON.

 

[YeLovesBoston]

If you know it's not the same then why did you post it?

Because what is offensive to a group of people is subjective. fakkit is a word that has hurt a lot of gay people but gay people have used it in a light manner.

That's not comparing ****** to any of those terms but what has been offensive to people may have also been used in a more playful context.

 

[Blacocaine]

negro-******-nikka
The initial meaning of the word was black. Cacs made it degrading but how can being melanoid be an insult?
I think it's beautiful we can say it but they can't
