Utterly Embarrassing: Black Man Has To Check Another Black Man For Calling Him the N-Word

[Tair]

People are always trying to regulate others but can never seem to regulate themselves.

Thought I was going crazy. This is old. Why did this suddenly pop up again? Not just here but a few different online spaces.

I'm not hosting a rap battle. You stated that's its use is "always negative," I proved you wrong.


You're welcome.

I'm not hosting a rap battle. You stated that's its use is "always negative," I proved you wrong.

So, ignorant people using a negative term means it's not negative?....



Gotcha.​

 

[HarlemHottie]

So, ignorant people using a negative term means it's not negative?

Gotcha.​

You're being illogical. You stated an absolute, I proved it wrong.

Be graceful in your defeat.

Didn't go through this whole thread and I see many people agreeing with Willie.

But Willie disqualified everything he said when he said he still uses the word except derogatorily.

Huh?

So if you are thinking about the word in its original historical context.

Equally think of the person historically who would expel such a word out of their mouths?

A white supremacists.

Willie is literally placing himself in the position of a white supremacists when he uses the word derogatoryily. Which is worse to me because you are quite aware that you're calling your fellow black man subhuman.

Admittedly, I still use the word.
And trying to slow my use of it.

I respect my parents and those who respect me, that's what I'm saying.

There's no way you can respect another person and call them a 'nikka' if you knew what it meant.​

You posted pics of lynchings for shyts and giggles stfu clown

 

[FeverPitch2]

This bytch really repeated that?

Then she said she felt like Pac was coming on to her

Read the lyrics.

Think again.

fukk them other brothers cause I’m down for my brothers just don’t hit the same. I’m sorry.

 

[I'm Blackman]

Conversations and mental gymnastics around this word are always hilarious.

 

[DPresidential]

Sorry for belaboring the point;

In an attempt to put things in context, a hypothetical:

Let's imagine we are in a communal drinking well instead of an internet forum because we are only a few decades after the start of an oppressive European presence and classifying us darker pigmented people as BLACK because of an attempt to dehumanize and subjugate.

A few brothers walk into the area and we all overhear one them, in a jolly way, refer to all of us "Ahhh, my black people! How we doing today?"

Would we all have the same energy that we have now with respect to the word nikka?
There is NO point that would correctly be able to argue that BLACK in reference to all of us in that scenario started with any GOOD intention. As a matter of fact, we are clear that the classification of us as black has a very oppressive, violent and terrible history in its origin.

What would the perspective be?
Now, my point is that those who say nikka could NEVER be something that could be normalized by us but BLACK is something that was okay to be normalized and CELEBRATED, how does that logically make sense?

 

[Dafunkdoc_Unlimited]

Still having this conversation about that word...

It's gotten worse and now, there's even more non-Black people using it because they think it's 'just a word'.

Not enough of us call this shyt out for what it is and not enough of the younger gens know what it means anymore.​

Don’t know how so many look up to this dumb ass
