Should we stop using the n word and its variations?

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

I think black folks are letting whitey get into our heads with all this "if we cant use it, you shouldnt be able to use it" talk

It's just ignorant to say. Always has been from jump.

Funny you say whitey "gettin into your head". Who you think put it there in the first place?

This.

 

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

We can start calling eachother "xiloks" it's variations and they'd still find a way to bogard it and whine about not being able to use it casually

I say, fukk no

I really have to question some of you guys' self worth when it's proposed that WE stop acting like fools and all you can think of is white people.

I don't give a damn how white people feel about the word, I only care about us reaching a higher level of consciousness.

Talking the way I talk within my circle has never stopped me from reaching any kind of level of consciousness, kill that

You don't wanna use it, fine

 

[JLova]

Should stop using it in public around non-blacks. Yes.

Maybe you're just not conscious of that fact.

Maybe you're not conscious of my consciousness and self awareness

I think it just makes us look stupid. Spanish people don't go out of their way to call each other spics or asians chinks or gooks.

If you know better, do better.

You know the history of the word, right? Yet you still embrace it? Ignorance is bliss I'm sure, but to consciously choose to pretend to be ignorant is all around failure.

 

[ProfessionallyTrill]

No. You think us not using it will make them stop?

 

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

No. You think us not using it will make them stop?

Who is "them"? This is about us. The levels of insecurity being displayed is downright embarrassing.

We need to look at ourselves through our own eyes instead of white people. I don't know what white people even have to do with this thread?

IMO, it needs to stop being used so publicly.

In music, they need to, maybe, start discouraging it's reckless use like they do "another" terms.

I'm still against total censorship, but, it's gotten a bit out of hand.


BUT, I'd much rather a movement towards helping people who've suffered from the associated racism.
