Someone needs to take Ja Rules phone away

[Formerly Black Trash]

If a white person is beating a Mexican and calls him a Mexican while doing so is the word now derogatory?

You seem to not understand the point Ja Rule is making. He's saying if "******" originally just meant black. Just like "Moor" originally just meant black. Then why do we now view a word that was originally just a descriptive term into something derogatory.

The word is of Spanish origin, so wasnt even made by us

So ain't no we let

And

Language evolves

Your argument, and Ja Rules, is ignorant

 

[tuckgod]

It's derived from the Spanish word for black. Cacs being the ignorant shyts that they were mispronounced it forming a new word altogether. What makes it derogatory is the way it was used by racists towards our ancestors while beating their asses in the hot ass fields for any which reason.

Ja is a fukking idiot

He’s an idiot for asking how did a descriptive word come to be used in a derogatory manner?

Maybe he’s just trying to spark conversation, which he has.

If our people had a true knowledge of self then being called a "******" would mean nothing cause we would have no shame over being black.

Smh

 

[Ghost Utmost]

Mispronunciation of the Spanish word

Negro

which simply means Black. Right now the black beans in your grocery store have the words "negros frijoles" on them.

400 years of them referring to us in that way and chopping pregnant women in half in the meanwhile makes it a bad word

Smh

Look. I'm a conscious black man with a true knowledge of self. I don't view myself as being inferior to any white man cause I know the truth about our history. If a crakkka called me a "******" it wouldn't hurt my feelings cause I don't believe he's superior to me.

I view being called a "******" the same as another man calling me a "bytch". I know I ain't no bytch but you ain't gonna disrespect me to my face so we will throw hands. Same thing if a cac calls me a "******". I know I ain't inferior to you but you ain't gonna disrespect me like that to my face without getting beat down.

Only a black person without a true knowledge of self lets the "N word" be more than it really is. Which is a word that we've given power to cause we are ashamed to be black. PERIOD.

Only if you never picked up a history book outside of high school.

The word nicca to describe skin tone was never derived from the word negus.

With that being said, Ja Rule is an idiot and deserves his place in the annals of hip hop.

Most people haven't. So they ask people who may have.

I know this is fun and jokes and Ja Rule has earned a lot of this, but its not a bad thing to ask a question to be better educated on something.

root word NTR (pronounced net-ger),

No. It was pronounced neh-ter. How you put a “g” in there I don’t know.

You right. I think the ‘g’ through me off like it was a hard ‘g’. I think I would have prononced it ‘net-jair’
