Ja Rule "Black People need to come together as an entity to figure out the N-Word"

[IllmaticDelta]

Thank you for telling him that. In Hip Hop the N-Word might have dual meanings but in real life they don't. Becuz outside of that World, nobody seriously acknowledges that.


To a child something like that would make sense. To an adult it's just foolish.

See my last post. Are you offended by the word "black"? How about negroid, negrito, or negritude?

Not by the word Black but hell yeah on tha rest.


I think you need 2 stop trying to be all Poindexter on the issue like some Pseudo-Psychologist and just accept tha fact that you've been bamboozled into this idea that somehow Black People wouldn't be offended by other Ethnicities using the N-Word.

You're trying to give some 1700's Definition of some other shyt for a 2016 issue. Get with the times

I never said that. I said all blacks are offended by nigg(er), I said nikka is different within context.

You can't dismiss the past because it has everything to do with everything that's going on today. The only reason you're offended by the N-word has roots in what was going on in the 1700's

Get with the times

Im very in touch with the times

I did not know that and will have to double check it.

by slavers off course, and we all know the term as incurred transformations before becoming the word now discussed n this thread, its intent tho was always of a slur by said european colonizers, and def not exclusive to the US only, whether then or now

Nigg(er) was birthed in the USA w/o question but Africans, in the early days of the slave trade were called the forms of the word that Nigg(er) came from

The variants neger and negar, derive from the Spanish and Portuguese word negro (black), and from the now-pejorative French nègre (negro). Etymologically, negro, noir, nègre, and ****** ultimately derive from nigrum, the stem of the Latin niger (black) (pronounced [ˈniɡer] which, in every other grammatical case, grammatical gender, and grammatical number besides nominative masculine singular, is nigr-, the r is trilled).

In the Colonial America of 1619, John Rolfe used negars in describing the African slaves shipped to the Virginia colony.[3] Later American English spellings, neger and neggar, prevailed in a northern colony, New York under the Dutch, and in metropolitan Philadelphia's Moravian and Pennsylvania Dutch communities; the African Burial Ground in New York City originally was known by the Dutch name "Begraafplaats van de Neger" (Cemetery of the Negro); an early US occurrence of neger in Rhode Island, dates from 1625.[4] An alternative word for African Americans was the English word, "Black", used by Thomas Jefferson in his Notes on the State of Virginia. Among Anglophones, the word ****** was not always considered derogatory, because it then denoted "black-skinned", a common Anglophone usage.[5] Nineteenth-century English (language) literature features usages of ****** without racist connotation, e.g. the Joseph Conrad novella The ****** of the 'Narcissus' (1897). Moreover, Charles dikkens and Mark Twain created characters who used the word as contemporary usage. Twain, in the autobiographic book Life on the Mississippi (1883), used the term within quotes, indicating reported usage, but used the term "negro" when speaking in his own narrative persona.[6]

During the fur trade of the early 1800s to the late 1840s in the Western United States, the word was spelled "niggur", and is often recorded in literature of the time. George Fredrick Ruxton often included the word as part of the "mountain man" lexicon, and did not indicate that the word was pejorative at the time. "Niggur" was evidently similar to the modern use of dude, or guy. This passage from Ruxton's Life in the Far West illustrates a common use of the word in spoken form—the speaker here referring to himself: "Travler, marm, this niggur's no travler; I ar' a trapper, marm, a mountain-man, wagh!"[7] It was not used as a term exclusively for blacks among mountain men during this period, as Indians, Mexicans, and Frenchmen and Anglos alike could be a "niggur".[8] Linguistically, in developing American English, in the early editions of A Compendious Dictionary of the English Language (1806), lexicographer Noah Webster suggested the neger new spelling in place of negro.[9]

Bro nobody gives a shyt what they was talkin about in the 1700s, that don't got shyt to do with Today.


Ain't nobody lookin towards the Past (a Past that we never really fukkin knew foreal), just to move on to the future. Black People don't work like that and neither do the rest of America.



Your history lessons are cute but they're irrelevant to Today.



Again. Ignoring the situation doesn't do anything but keep the wounds open. You wanna close em for good, cut it off all of the way. Ain't nobody tryna look for no wisdom in the Santa Maria

It this were true, nobody would be offended by Nigg(er) and you wouldn't be offended by

See my last post. Are you offended by the word "black"? How about negroid, negrito, or negritude?

You're only offended because of the past associated with those or related words. If you take the historical context, those words mean nothing

Ain't nobody lookin towards the Past (a Past that we never really fukkin knew foreal), just to move on to the future. Black People don't work like that and neither do the rest of America.

Both are false. if noone cared about the past, noone would get all bent out of shape or tip toe about/around any of these words

Your history lessons are cute but they're irrelevant to Today.

You can't speak about today and the future w/o it's past context

Again. Ignoring the situation doesn't do anything but keep the wounds open. You wanna close em for good, cut it off all of the way. Ain't nobody tryna look for no wisdom in the Santa Maria

Noone is ignoring anything. Nigg(er) will always sting because of the past that's associated with it and that's excatly why it will never go away

 

[IllmaticDelta]

why aren't you offended by the word "black"?

@ DoobieJRoach

Im waiting for your response

 

[DJDONTNOBODYPAYME]

Hey Strawman, what are you trying to argue?


Nobody cares about Movies, or Philosophers, or Philantropist, or what was going on over 300 years ago (literally). What part about that do u not understand? None of that and none of them have shyt to do with how people are feeling in this day & age. And frankly, it don't got shyt to do with how Black Folks ever felt about the Slur.

why don't you just answer the question?

It has everything to do with today. It's the only reason N word even has any meaning

And frankly, it don't got shyt to do with how Black Folks ever felt about the Slur.

I just remembered you're the same cat that try to say all acoustic guitar music is "Country"

 

[DJDONTNOBODYPAYME]

I haven't directly answered your question becuz it's been answered over and over again. And in doing so would only insuly my intelligence, as well as the readers. It also has nothing to do with the N-Word.

 

[WheresWallace]

say breh, explain why whites still called us niggs tho

why did the white man reverse the meaning


is this even true

if god was real would we even be able to pronounce his name

Taking something that is sacred and reversing its meaning so that it is negative is not unheard of.

Did you know that the swatiska used to be a sacred Indian symbol that meant a bunch of positive shiit (you can do ya own googles for the original meaning) but now it is universally known as a symbol of hate and divisiveness.

Reversing a positive into a negative is not always an intentional thing. They could have been hearing black people refer to them selves as different variants of naga, negus, ect. and because it is not the cacs tounge, the cacs probably mispronounced the word which eventually lead to the pronunciation it has today.

What? Do you think cacs created the word from scratch?

 

[3rdWorld]

Black people of all ages and walks of life globally who are offended and don't want to be called any variation of ****** /nikka.

Vs.

Black Americans (some) who insist N word harmless and are not offended by its rampant use by blacks as well as other races.

If this was some sort of democracy who's wishes should be respected more here between the two sets of Blacks?

The former of course. The idea that Black People are cool with other people using the word is absurd. Nobody's really foreal like that in real life. Don't let these Rappers/Actors fool you. They have a brand to protect. Their intentions are good but it's not something muthafukkaz are just cool with like that

 

[DaddyTime]

so blk ppl globally, need to come together to not talk about economics, self defense, or nation building, but instead come together to talk about a fukking wrd?....

This.

fukk the distractions. Everyone else out here playing chess (race wise) and we playing checkers among ourselves.

Lets all do what we can within our household, spread knowledge among ourselves, etc. One step at a time.
