Black Coli, how do your parents feel about the n-word?

[Somebody]

 

[duncanthetall]

Dad was a college/professional coach. Dude cussed more than most and says nikka a lot. Mom doesn’t cuss as much but still drops it occasionally

 

[Yinny]

My folks were older, so they came from that era where they couldn't even drink from the same fountains as them folk...


My mama RARELY uses it. She doesn't even cuss...but when she does, she really means that chit, and puts some bass in her voice. lol

My pop would say it with so much stank on it...like, you woulda perferred somebody called you a fakkut more than him calling you that. LOL
With his accent, It's like he put extra letters in it. Like "NEE-YIGK-CUH"

LOL-Let me find out your dad is Stinkmeaner from the Boondocks

 

[Elle Driver]

They never really said it.

Mom

And dad used it all the time.

It is what it is.

Its ok for black people

 

[Shoog Shatmi]

I don't think I ever heard my mom say it. She was very proud of being black and loved black people. My dad, I've only ever heard use it jokingly--never in anger or just flippantly.

Mom (born in '67) in Walls, Mississippi; raised between Memphis and Elmira, NY...

Uses it fairly frequently, not a "nikka" in every sentence type drop, but it would be rather uncommon if she didn't say it...

Her parents (born in the 40s) were both raised in the Mississippi Delta. Her mom died in '17 but she said it quite often, as did her family (her brothers and sisters)...Mom's dad I only heard say it as a retelling of events when he was called that, wasn't in his regular vocabulary...

By the way, her parents were high school sweethearts, only a year apart, grew up in rural Mississippi at the same time dealing with the same prejudices. One of them came from a family where "nikka" was the furthest thing from taboo, the other, I don't know about Grandpa's family, other than I know his last living brother and sister I never heard use it...

Know nothing of my Dad's family, but dad (born in '65), I've probably heard him say "nikka" 5-7 times in my whole life. He says "negro" in place of it, and he grew up in Little Rock. Never heard his mom say it and besides maybe two of his many siblings, I've never heard any of his siblings use it...

Mom (born in '66) grew up all over, originally from Arkansas, lived in Houston and Lansing, Michigan before going to Sacramento at 15. She says it like it's going outta style..

Dad (born in '68), born and raised in Sacramento, says it like it's going outta style. Whole family does...

..........

The N-word didn't become a real taboo until the Civil Rights era. Whites and Blacks used it frequently, especially in the South. The idea that we as a people have always been against its usage isn't verified by any historical record...

@G.O.A.T Squad Spokesman just outta curiosity:

Do you use the n word with and around your family? If so, how do they respond to this? Do members of your family use it, and which generations?

If older members of your family use it, were they raised here in America? When did you start using it, and why do you find it acceptable to use it now as an adult?

I'm just always curious when nonblacks use it and if the word has any significance whatsoever to them!

 

[UberEatsDriver]

My parents hate the word and do not want to hear it.

And if you are white it’s best for your soul to never call my mom that word either.

I’m just warning you.

 

[Okocha]

My parents are in their 60's and have never used that word. They hate it with a passion. I don't use the nword out of respect

 

[im_sleep]

Mom gotta be pissed, I can probably count the number of times, but then she barely cusses at that

Dad on the other hand says it regularly, grew up in the 50’s and 60’s

Yeah damn near all my elders said it, not nearly as frequent as younger generations but it definitely wasn’t taboo by any means.

 

[The Amerikkkan Idol]

nikka is my dad's favorite word

My mom doesn't use profanity

This is kinda me too.

My father's a street nikka, so he uses it, plus he listens to like gangsta rap and shyt.

My mother hates all that shyt and would rather listen to gospel or like the Delphonics and Stylistics
