Tekashi and the N word

[ECA]

For the most part, yes, but Florida is a different animal. I been down there numerous times throughout my life, Orlando...Tampa...Miami... full of white Latinos saying the word freely, loudly, in public places, etc. etc. and never noticed anyone even bat an eye. Black folk all around, too. Same aesthetic as NY. It also probably doesn't hurt that Florida has an insane Latino population overall anyway. I've also been to northern Florida, up towards Duval and spots like that... and I can tell you there, it is very different from the rest of Florida... they might as well be Georgia up there. I'd say N. Fla might have an issue with it, but Orlando and below... it's nikka this nikka that all day from Latinos.... and it's been like that for as long as I can remember. That's why that video of Pitbull that someone posted doesn't surprise me at all.

I'm from NC. That shyt ain't sliding over here

My daughter didn't even realize nikka was a bad word, she was like 11 when I explained to her she can't use that word freely because it's just like fukk and shyt and ass and all that. Her being half puerto rican and the racial part didn't even come up then. It's the music man, rap music, we can act like the word holds the same weight all the time but you know that's not true...nikka is just slang to most people in hip hop culture. Of course throwing around spic or wetback or whatever isn't a fair equivalence attempt, youth/rap culture hasn't popularized those words and made them cool.

Don't know where you brehs are from, but that's a quick way to get your grille smashed in round here. Hector or Jose only use this "brown" shyt when its convenient

Its these 90s kids, giving people passes for N word drops, and celebrating snitches for "clout"

Exactly. We can not be surprised when people who interact with us and our music use it when it is used as frequently as a common word. I do not understand why people are angry about other people are using the word but do not blink an eye when we call each other it. If you see it as a slur when someone non black uses it, then we should see it as one when we use it among ourselves. I have seen or had conversations with people where every 7th or 8th word has been "nikka" around non black people with not one thought about it.

Zero tolerance is the only way..

 

[Devil Plisken…CMS]

when I was coaching high school football at my old school, I use to hear Hispanics say it to each

it’s like that everywhere now. I really don’t care. How can you be offended at someone saying a derogatory word you say yourself is my opinion on it

Next time you fukk your bytch then I’ll go after. Of course she would have to clean up before I go for mines

Deal?

 

[Devil Plisken…CMS]

Gays call each other fakkit under whatever circumstances they feel fit

I notice not many others are testing those waters nowadays

Go figure

So let white people start saying then wtf. They’re the biggest consumers of Rap music afterall

How am i the problem? I know from time to time other races/ groups call themselves names they wound not want to have others call them, but the key is they say it around themselves. I was raised to believe "nikka" is not a term of endearment, but a slur against us so i do not use it and neither should others, at least around non black people.

Like I said, black people and puerto ricans/dominicans, we all came up together...so in regard to the topic of this thread, I think causing a stink over latinos saying the word would fall on deaf ears up here. Couple that with the word being slang in hip hop culture and it becomes even more of a moot fight

White people saying the n-word, no matter how they use it, should be told that that's not cool. But again, even with them, it doesn't hold the same weight all the time. If I see some white kids who are rap addicts calling each other nikka and trying to be cool I think I would probably intervene and tell them to cut that out and that's not cool. If I see some white men calling me or other black people nikkas then they are getting a much more stern, aggressive reaction from me, naturally. I like to think with my brain, not my feelings...words are weapons but the intent behind the words are what determines if they're deadly weapons or not. I know you're smart enough to know when someone is using the word to be racist and when they're not, I don't ignore that...but either way they need to be checked. The severity of the checking varies depending on intent and the person.

Like I said, black people and puerto ricans/dominicans, [in NYC] we all came up together
