Brehs let other cultures say it because they want to fukk their women
dikk Gregory was right, "beat the p*ssy up" culture is trash.. throw it all away
reducing yourself to only your dikk and letting other cultures disrespect u for it
Maybe you have a point here, but if so, this predates the current era by many generations. It was dikk Gregory's era (Paul Mooney, Richard Pryor, etc) who let non blacks into our world of using nikka endearingly, but I'd say it started before they era, if your point has validity...
I'm in NYC so it's diverse and I'm not cool with non blacks using it. It's a respect issue. People feel like they're entitled to take everything black but there needs to be boundaries.
No doubt, I mean I know blacks from diverse areas who don't like non blacks using it, but this is more an exception to the rule. I lived Upstate NY at the beginning of the decade and the majority of brothers from Buffalo to Albany was okay with it, in the jails dudes were okay with it...

I think alota the "woke" crowd doesn't necessarily know the history of the word and its evolution. It wasn't until the Civil Rights era that it became fashionable to tell whites not to call us that. We're talking mid-50s here, and the reason the elimination of its usage didn't take hold is because by the time the 70s rolled around, we were publicizing "nikka" through our art--->our movies and comics especially. So think about this for a minute...
When whites and other non blacks learned that we used it differently amongst each other, yet less than 20 years prior we were telling people not to address us as that, it sent mixed messages. We were saying different things as a culture, we were split along both sides. And that was the beginning of "my black friends use it and don't mind that I do", when other blacks confronted people about it...
But before the 50s, from abolition through Jim Crow, it was commonplace to be referred to as nikkas and no one had a problem. Go back and read transcripts of dialogue between blacks and whites from the 1860s through the 1950s. It was actually very similar today to where we knew when it was being used disrespectfully but whites routinely called us nikkas, and we had already long been conditioned to refer to each other as that...
So the brothers who hate non blacks using it should probably get more in tune with the evolution of the term. As well as somebody explain to me your possessiveness of a word that didn't originate in our community lol...
” like he Jeepers Creepers or something.
well they did with the 1 drop rule you fuccin dullard
