But why are you referencing shyt from Yesteryear?

because it has everything to do with today or else you wouldn't be offended by negroid and negritude

And again. The word "******" and frankly "nikka" have never been in style.

black people in america have been using the word nikka as a term of endearment for decades way before rap in the 1980's and 1990's. It's just that it was low key. Nigg(er) was never in style but strange enough, if you read some ex-slave narratives, they freely used the actual word,"Nigg(er)".

We've just been trying to force it on people this whole time

we didn't try to force anything on anyone. This is just another case of outsiders appropriating just like what happened to jive talk

What's In a Name?
Negro vs. Afro-American vs. Black

Are there substantial grounds for the violent opposition to the word "Negro"?

To answer these questions and to relate them to the whole bubbling controversy, one must go back 400 years. For Americans of African descent have been arguing about names ever since they were forcibly transported from Africa by Europeans who arbitrarily branded them "Blackamoors," "Moors," "negers," and "negros." The English word "Negro" is a derivative of the Spanish and Portuguese word negro, which means black. The Portuguese and Spanish, who were pioneers in the African Slave Trade, used this adjective to designate the African men and women whom they captured and transported to the slave mart of the New World. Within a short time, the Portuguese word negro (no capital) became the English noun-adjective "negro." This word, which was not capitalized at first, fused not only humanity, nationality and place of origin but also certain white judgements about the inherent and irredeemable inferiority of the persons so designated The word also referred to certain Jim Crow places, i.e., the "negro pew" in Christian churches.

Although the word "Negro" became a generally acceptable designation in the l930s, there was strong opposition from militant radicals like Adam Clayton Powell, who continued to use the word "black," and from militant nationalists like Elijah Muhammad, who continued to speak of "so-called Negroes." This opposition, inchoate and unorganized, was sharpened in the '50s and '60s by the rhetorical artistry of Malcolm X and the emergence of the Black Power movement. But MalcoIm X and the Black Power movement were reflections of a general crisis of identity which is similar in tone and urgency to the crises of the 19th century and the first decades of the 20th.

It appears, from this short historical sketch, that the word "Negro" has been a generally acceptable term in the black or, if you prefer, the Negro community for relatively short time. It appears also that there has been continuous and sustained opposition to the term. Contemporary critics of the word "Negro" say Booker T. Washington was primarily responsible for the campaign in which the word "Negro" supplanted the the words "black," "colored," and "Afro-American." There is truth in this -- the Negro Year Book and the Negro Business League were Washington projects -- but it is not the whole truth. The movement for adoption of the word "Negro" was also given a strong impetus by militant radicals like W. E. B. Du Bois, who was one of the founders of the American Negro Academy, and militant nationalists like Marcus Garvey, who used the word "Negro" consistently and named his organization the Universal Negro Improvement Association.

Baird objects to the word "Negro" on two grounds. 1) The word "Negro" is a slave-oriented epithet which was imposed on Americans of African descent by slavemasters. "The word came into use," Baird says, "in connection with the enslavement of the African in the New World. The use of the word became connected with what Earl Conrad has so well called the "Negro-Concept," that grotesque conception of the African which has been shaped in the mind of the European and forced with Procrustean cruelty on the person and personality of the black American."

2) The word "Negro" is not geographically or culturally specific. "Historically," he says, "human groups have been named according to the land from which they originated .... The unwillingness of the dominant group to recognize the humanity of the African is evidenced by the fact that when it is necessary or desired to identify Americans in terns of the land of their origin, terms such as Italian-American, Polish-American, Spanish-American, Jewish-American (referring back to the ancient kingdom and culture of Judaea), etc., are employed. In the American mind there is no connection of the black American with land, history and culture--factors which proclaim the humanity of an individual." Baird denies that the English word "Negro" is a synonym for black. He says. "'Negro' does not mean simply 'black,' which would be the simple, direct opposite of 'white.' We talk about a 'white man' or a 'white Cadillac'; we may talk, as many unfortunately do, of a 'Negro man,' but never of a 'Negro Cadillac.'

Baird believes the word "Afro-American" will supplant the word "Negro." He does not object to the term "black," which, he says, lacks the historical and cultural precision of the word "Afro-American." He is supported in this view by Richard Moore, Harlem bookstore owner and author of The Name "Negro"--It's Origin and Evil Use. Moore says the word "Negro" is so "saturated with filth," so "polluted" with the white man's stereotypes, that "there is nothing to be done but to get rid of it." He prefers the word "Afro-American" because of its "correctness, exactness, even elegance." He believes the adoption of the word will force "these prejudiced European-Americans" to reevaluate black people in terms of their history and culture. "Black," Moore said, "is a loose color designation which is not connected with land, history, and culture. While I recognize it as a step forward in getting rid of the term 'Negro,' I think it is necessary to take the next step."

Bennett, What's In a Name? Negro vs. Afro-American vs. Black (1967)


when you realize that all these words as defined and first used by white people mean the same thing you will see why the terms as defined and created/altered by blacks themselves such as Nigg(er) to nikka and Negro to the modern conception of "black" are different.

But nobody really takes "the white man's" opinion that serious. And honestly that's not even the place where this Thread is coming from. It's way bigger than that. Your IQ Light Bulb should've lit up in your head but obviously Face Value Reading is still in in 2016.



Let's stop pretending that this word doesn't mean anything. That's some Ho-shyt.




Oh, and nobody wants to be a "real nikka" at 40, stop it. You don't speak for all "real nikkaz" Son. We don't think like that

Has absolutely nothin to do with the white man. Before i became "conscious" i was indifferent to the word. Didnt care either way. But now i realize how flat out stupid and ignorant it is to refer to OURSELVES as nikkers. Yall can try to spin it as a "term of endearment" all u want but we all know its not. We are the only group on earth that publicly degrades ourself.


I made a thread about Drake before:

He's half J*wish rite? Why has he never disrespected that side? He drops the N-word religously but he would NEVER degrade his J*wish side because they care about and protect their image. We dont.

 

[DJDONTNOBODYPAYME]

I didn't know that Black People weren't offended by other races using the N-Word. News to me

What does it mean then nikka. Hoe shyt is walking around crying about the use of words. Like nikkas don't appropriate all kinds of words, in all the cultures the African slave was taken too.

Our use of the white mans language is something to be proud of. From Jamaican patios to whoadie and son. Even shawty. All these are small examples of the same machine. Blacks approriatjng and making culture our own.

Which is why being a nikka is the thing to be

Bruh why wouldn't you want to be a real nikka all your life? Lol. I know you don't want to be a real nikka. You wanna be a cracker. You probably go to work for him everyday, at 40. Taking bass out your voice and speaking "proper English"

You don't know nothing about being a real nikka. You too scared to be yourself

How do WE know it's not.
I love my nikkas. Period. I say it with endearment. Period.
I say it whenever I want in any context I want. Cause we do that.

Using nikka is protecting our image. Cause some people don't want to be white. Or don't care for acceptance from the white man. And we are proud of our culture. Not ashamed.
