Is it ok for Africans, Black Europeans, or Afro Latinos to say the n-word?

Was just listening to UK rap and kept hearing dude say nikka.
Didn't hit the ears right(no diddy)

The "N Word", should be abandoned/retired.

NO One should be using it, pejoratively or "Endearingly".

It is a dehumanizing word

I agree.

I moved to international rap to hear it less. But here we are

It's never been natural. Just adopted by influence. It needs to go away tho. I hear way too many non Black people comfortable with it and it you can't waste time policing the "right" usage of a slur. Time for it to go away entirely as a term of endearment.

No, no and no. And frankly, I don't like hearing Caribbeans with accents say it either. I need you to have a US accent if you're going to say it (and that excludes Canadians, since the accents are more or less identical.)

So only Americans black people can say it, no other black person with a non American accent can say it?


when you start gate keeping based solely on accent and geography it shows lack of global historical context

I dont use it in my speech, but I find the pick and choose mentality comical

Ya “neega” don’t have the same effect

I think it's interesting right here in America. A person from Boston who can't pronouce "er" or "ar" like in "chowder" or "bar" instead, "chowdah" and "bah", would say "nikker" as "nikkah"

Regional accents alone make the word change before we can talk about how it's a word of endearment
