For those that use the word 'Ni**a' will you refer to your children as 'Ni**gas' ?

Does anybody refer to their child as "bro" or "homie"?
I know women who call their sons this word. Its so ignorant
I don't have any children, but I doubt I would refer to them as such. They'd be my babies, and I would probably give them a nickname centered around their actual name or a personality trait. That's what I do with the kids I've babysat and nannied for.

in-ter-rest-ing.... you say the word is changed, yet you say you wouldn't call your child the same very word you feel has a new context.Nah I wouldn't refer to my child as that , but it's been established that us blacks changed the context of the word and reserved it for us , maybe if cacs officially changed the definition in webster some of ya niccas would feel comfortable using it

I cringe at the thought of refering to my little girl as a "n1gger". Yall can have that word and its variations
It's still profanity moreless which I'm not going to use in front of my child because if they use it in public settings like school infront of their teacher they're going to get the repercussions & so until he/she gets older im gucci on that

Probably not. Well I might slip up every once in awhile 
but for the most part I think I'll try not to.

I just explained why breh , just cause I perceive it as a new context doesn't mean him/her teacher will , and I ain't tryna have DCF on my ass so I'm good bread on that
I say it all day everyday....EXCEPT around my kids (i have full custody of both).
Now if im talking to my homeboy about my son (who is 7) , I'll say, "Yeah that lil ni99a think he slick."
But I never use it around my son or refer to him using it ever...My pops never uses the word (at least not in my presence) and my mom does, but never used to reference me.

Yes.
Do we not use nikka in our culture everyday?
Language appropriation is definitely one of the unique cultural identifiers of the Africans brought to American through slavery.
Taking a word and making it mean something else is one of the unique cultural identifiers of so called "Hip Hop" as well.
Giving our own meaning to words of the white mans language is nothing we should shame ourselves about. Taking that word in particular, and turning its power against the white man, is one of the greater accomplishments of the Africans brought to the United States of America.
I won't be shamed out of my culture.
