There is go the term “YN’s” gonna go mainstream and be used as a slur against us now 🤦🏾‍♂️

[3rdWorld]

Just so fukking ignorant. Only people genuinely OBSESSED with referring to ourselves as a racial slur

Make it make sense breh..

 

[murksiderock]

To the topic itself though, the OP, the Morris twins are 35, so they are pushing up on middle age. In practicality they aren't "young nikkas", so you'd think this dumbass would me more mature than to drop this shyt on a nationally syndicated show. I could maybe forgive him if he was 22....he's fukking 35.

This shyt was OD embarrassing and I hope he's never on TV again...

 

[Gloxina]

Man thank you so much for saying this. This conversation always brings the unlearned mf's out and it boils my fukking blood...

The n-word was mainstream before all those 60s/70s comedians...

No this is not a relevant point, because if you wanna point blame at popularizing and commercializing the n-word, I think it's bullshyt you don't place the blame at the feet of.....the mf's who created, popularized, and commercialized the word.

Bro it's not gender specific. There are black people of both genders who let non-black people use the word with impunity...

I know of a 32-year old black woman who told me last month, that her Mexican homegirl in San Antonio uses the shyt all the time, and she never checked her on it because "that's just how she grew up"...

I'd be sitting all day and never be able to remember how many black folk of both genders I've seen give all kinds of non-blacks the pass...

Your point on hearing black men use it recklessly around non blacks, it's kinda incredulous to me if you've never heard some black women do the same...

We live in a society where amongst us as a community, a third of us truly detest non blacks using it, a third of us embrace nonblacks using it, and another third of us are indifferent and choose not to police how other people talk or feel. That's a truth as real as any about Black Americans---->we have no consensus on the issue...

When it comes to blame for the popularity of the word, it goes squarely and completely at the feet of Honkie America. They made the fukking word up, applied it as a slur, and for any dumb comment about NWA or hip hop or anybody black or anything BLACK making the shyt mainstream.......I suggest mf's go educate themselves on American literature before being black was seen as mainstream cool. American literature used to have FAR less censorship and everything from journals to comics to newspapers to early film are, quite literally, LITTERED with the gotdamn n-word all over the shyt...

WWAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY before "being black" was ever a popular, cool thing, the n-word was already cool and en vogue. In actuality the word was in popular usage when being black was way the fukk more dangerous than it is today, and much, much less accepted or tolerated or faux-beloved...

This anger and rant isn't directed to you specifically g, but I really, really hate misinformation, and even more than that....

I hate how we as BLACK PEOPLE continually, amongst ourselves, blame ourselves for hands we never fukking dealt ourselves. It makes me more sad than angry that we are so culturally indoctrinated to White American, Europeanized rhetoric, that every fukking issue about us as a community, is our fukking fault, when in actuality none of them are. We continually tell each other that we created, or spread, problems and division within us, and it's so fukking maddening and sad...

Mf's really ran in here blaming hip hop and black people for this stupid shyt it doesn't cost a mf anything but time to try to learn and educate themselves on shyt...

I love all black people, I love being black. I don't use it around nonblacks, but I do use the n word. My kids are with black women and I exclusively date black, but I do like to fukk on nonblack women from time to time. I'm saying this to say, I'm not some militant negro who lives my life in that space of militancy. I'm hella flawed...

But sometimes I read shyt on here and the lack of awareness and true to the soul PRIDE in being BLACK stirs me. Not just this thread, plenty others. Mf's be thinking they cooking and the entire time a dearth of real love of their blackness is showing thru...

I'm out, this topic of conversation always pisses me off...

Of course cacs made up the word n!gger/used the slur against us.




That’s common sense.



The point is, WE have been using it as a regular word in our lexicon for ages.

So folks are asking WHY are ppl mad at the term/use of YN, or mad that it was created and is used so much by Gen Z? It’s just a continuation of what has already been happening.



There are slurs for every group and we’re the only ones who put that shyt in the music and continued putting it in music after seeing every racial group get more comfortable with the word. It’s not even about giving ppl passes or regular folks using it around them— it’s in the damn music so they were going to be singing along saying nikka whether or not we are in the room.

The comedians were wrong, hip hop artists who introduced it’s casual use by other races were wrong, and the kids who started using and popularizing “YN” are wrong. The question was why are ppl acting all surprised that “YN” is being popularized when “N” was already popularized before by ppl older than these teens/20 somethings who use it.

 

[Sbp]

That's hoe shyt

 

[Gloxina]

^^^^^^^ exactly

 

[Gloxina]

So does Sam Smith call himself a f*g in his songs with frequency?

Did Elton John start doing it?

Does Chapelle Roan use slurs to the same extent?

LGBT people use f*g WAY less comparatively. And not in the same derogatory way.

I've seen people say

Dumb ass nikka
Stupid ass nikka
I hate these nights

Do other groups use their slurs like this?

Do Mexicans say "stupid ass spic" to another Mexican as much?

Do Asians call each other "dumb ass chink" as much?

If the bolded is the question, I agree I guess, though it still seems that question is presented with an intent to blame (older) black people...

We have been using it in our lexicon because it was part of the lexicon; here in America "we grew up with it" (the defense of many nonblacks who defend using it). Music is just one form of media and culture, and if it's established that the word was in popular usage well before we made music using it, I don't understand the point in bringing up music...

Rap is the most popular genre of music and the word is featured prominently in it. But I think the popularity with the Chappelle Show and The Boondocks made it to where it is a "fun" word to say

 

[NaijaProdigy Redux]

You all expected good judgement from the Morris Twins

 

[Hacksaw Jim Thuggin]

I got a headache trying to decipher the thread title

 

[Justin Nitsuj]

Rappers from California started this “YN” bullshyt

 

[Boywouldyou!]

“YN” and nikka.. is this where y’all draw the line.. like they aint called us jiggaboos, spooks, spades, knuckledraggers… and some more and more.

It may have made it popular for people who grew up in that generation...

"nikka" has ALWAYS been a popular term here and has been a mainstream American slang since before film existed. Putting it in cinema spread the popularity, sure, same thing with music, if you were unfamiliar with American slang and pop culture...

Bruh, go lock these nikkas up in a library somewhere, some of these posters need to drown in some books...

 

[B86]

Can we please just get rid of the whole entire "culture"? Like, can we just find a way for us normal black folks to completely separate ourselves from the bullshyt that's on display at all times?

ESPN has been chasing the social media content lane populated by the Kai's and Speed's so I would not be surprised if this was given the green light in the production meeting.
