African Americans only do this...WHY?

[ThisWorldAintRight]

Their are better things to worry about then them obsessing over the word nikka tho

For sure. It's still an issue though.

 

[Another Man]

What claim?

Play dumb brehs

I'll take this as your concession.

for real. This shyt is the "but what about black on black crime!" stupidity when there's other shyt to deal with. But c00ns and CACS will talk about it like it's killing Black culture.

Yup. And they try to make it convoluted. Whether or not the word is acceptable for black people depends on the situation and who is around. That's that. It's not like folks are walking around like "why y'all ain't saying nikka more?! say it...SAY IT, NOW!". I honestly find the discussion interesting but no one can seem to ask the question without being bitter or condescending about it.

brits or aussies call each other c*nts

 

[Versa]

Along with what everyone else posted to dispute the premise of this thread, you also have to consider that TECHNICALLY speaking we use a different word than the deragotry one.

I know I'd feel some kind of way if a black person called me n1993r rather than n199a. Pretty much any black person would. So keep that in mind to. The term might be BASED off the derogatory term, but it's not the exact same thing.

 

[badtguy]

You right c00n Sambo etc are used on the coli in regards to other blacks

Italians call themselves Guidos, Canadian people openly refer to themselves as Canucks, jewish people identify themselves as jews (which was originally an offensive term)

The British call people they don't know "mate" and their friends "c*nt"

 

[cam>]

false, really.

many groups have reclaimed language that was originally intended to be pejorative.

ex:
the LGBTQ community reclaimed and use "queer", disabled people use the term "crip" (short for "cripple"), and sex workers use "whore".

 

[Prince Mongo]

For sure. It's still an issue though.

It's really not...

I dont hear them calling themselves Greaseballs, wops or even Africans which is a derogatory term for southern Italians by northerners.

I don't hear Jews calling each other Likes and the assortment of bad names for Jews..

 

[3rdWorld]

Question is,
who or what group are making sure the N word is alive and well in society?
Why hasnt it fallen off or got played out after so many years?
All trends and names come and go but this one has remained so someone out there is active key keeping it alive. My question is whom and what are the end gains?

 

[Another Man]

were any of these people enslaved for hundreds of years and dehumanised by those words?

Well that makes it okay then!

Would you argue the word would not be anywhere near as relevant had hip hop not exploited it for money?

Quit trying to change the subject. This has jack shyt to do with what the OP was about.
