Michelle Beadle Slips "The Denver Nikkas"

[2 Up 2 Down]

I’ve never heard an argument for using it that doesn’t devolve into hypocritical bullshyt, deflection and essentially I’ll use it if I want to!!

It’s crazy because one of the most crystal clear examples of the lingering psychological effects of slavery is the stubborn embrace of the word

And it isn’t just the use of it. It’s how mad some people get if you dare question it. Like they get bent out of shape if you even suggest thinking differently about it. That’s how you know how embedded it is in their psyche.

And you'll have at least a few black people that will come out to defend a white person who says it. Definitely if it's a white female

I know Im being the contrarian .. but we got bigger fish to fry imo



Do we know if using the word stunts us ... but I think it's up to Black Americans to choose and we learned it from our parents, etc. that came from all shapes and realms of Black American Life from doctors to lawyers ... to warehouse workers .

Even ppl that actually were in the Civil Rights Movements.

Your ppl wasnt listening to this ? :

The hard "ER" is wild to me tho' ..

That’s because there is no such word as nikka. It was just a different pronounciation of ******.

I swear brehs stake their life on wanting to say nikka. Term of endearment my ass when 90% of its usage involves a negative adjective or connotation.

Nah bruh. Fred Sanford used that word on his show.. Pryor used it a lot and he was a crossover star.. that was 50 years ago at this point. That word has to die at some point. You said they would love for us to stop using it so they can.. well they still use it and people still hate when they use it. They can have that fukking word. I’m tired of hearing it in the music and from other ethnicities and all that.

Shut up nikka

 

[Hey_zeus]

Nah she gotta go. You only make that mistake from repetition

 

[PHamm]

shyt slipped out clean AF and she up there laughing.. Even if it’s a legit slip up, good luck to you out here. You can’t slip up like that especially THIS WEEK!

She didn't seemed bothered at all that she slipped. It's clearly part of her day to day vernacular

 

[Tribal Outkast]

Shut up nikka

Y’all really make me sick lol

 

[Sad Bunny]

black folks say it a lot and to non black people.

This has been going on since forever.

Plenty of us let white men say it too, it's not a gender thing...

 

[3rdWorld]

Have they fired her yet?

 

[ViShawn]

She's letting y'all know that this is MAGA country.

sounds like some New York or Cali shyt.
I only see early 20-somethings do that lately

 

[TheJet]

Oh yeah I'm sure a lot of these analysts feel they got the pass her, Molly Qerim, Doris Burke, etc. Rachel Nichols prolly used the hard R at least once in her life

Ain't no pass.

 

[mag357]

Please nikkaz...
Pretty please... Go outside and get some fresh air.
U MFers are embarrassing

 

[GreenGhxst]

That's part of her vernacular

You don't say nikkas with that amount of ease unless you really be saying nikka

This cac ain't slick
