"Why cant we say the n-word too???!!!??"

[Crakface]

Is there anything more pathetic than hearing a CAC say this?

I put it to them like this.

There are certain things you can saybtonyour brither ornfriends that you dont let other people say to them.

If they cant understand the parrallel theyre going to burn in hell

 

[Johnny Kilroy]

So a black person dapping another black person up and saying my nikka is worst than a racist cac saying it with the hard R?

Self-hate is worse than hate. No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.

If I call you a dumbass who gives a fukk? But if you view yourself as a dumbass you got real problems.

Let a white person ask me this question in person.... just once I wish they would

 

[PhonZhi]

When are y'all gonna admit the truth that y'all say it merely out of habit and not as this brotherly "term of endearment" on some god/king shyt. The word is used just not, if not more to insult each other now.

I used to say it myself here and there STRICTLY OUT OF HABIT. That's it. Nothing more, nothing less. I've never called another black person a "n1gga" to uplift him or her

I haven't said it in like 2-3 years now mainly because I've had an increase in my own racial pride and self-esteem. Most people I know in real life that don't use that word ironically has an increased racial pride also.

 

[PhonZhi]

If its truly a "term of endearment" y'all need to check and put y'all foot on anyone's neck using the word as an insult, (B1tch n1gga, p*ssy n1gga, fukk n1gga, etc)

That's a straight up insult to our ancestors who died and took the word back.

After you read enough slave transcripts and narratives and then hear slaves refer to themselves as ni**as it's becomes cringy when black people say it too.

Nah, after you take some basic English courses and completely understand the concept of the word semantics. It doesn't.

Words aren't universal constructs made of a permanent substance.
Literary devices like connotation exist for a reason. It's the same reason euphemisms plays a major role in communication in virtually every language on the planet as well.

The meaning of the n-word hasn't really gone through a drastic change. Looking at how Slaves used the word and how currently we use the word it's very little difference.

An ex slave describing how all the "little Ni**as" stood around watching a man get beat to death. - Time 25:30

Or the slaves adding n****a to songs and shyt - Time 28:03 - 28:41
A call the frosty morning
A n***a's mighty good
Take ya ax upon your shoulder n***a
Talk to the wood.





How is this any different from how we use the word today? Examples please.

I know. These people are trying to convince themselves that it's a term of endearment when slaves were using the n- word in the same context as them.

Anecdotal evidence from your own experiences as a black person in 2017, should be able to answer that easy question.

The 'hard R' and 'nikka' have two completely different connotations, which in turns allows one to be used universally as an euphemism while the other maintains the stigma it has among our people.

For you to deny that, you're not only being disingenuous but also saying that only a white person's conception of the word exists and blacks aren't capable of creating our own.

You're committing an etymological fallacy as well.

No they don't.
Plenty of racist have called black people a "dirty n****a" or used n****a as a racial slur.



You still haven't answered my question. How are they different?

 

[Black Magisterialness]

yep, hearing my own people still call ourselves it.

nikka, shut up.

 

[Won Won]

Why would a white person want to?

haha exactly

Are you still sticking with the fallacious reasoning that white supremacists use?

So are you implying that a racist white person's usage of nikka is identical to a black person using it when they dap or celebrate with a fellow brother? So in your eyes (along with the racists cacs that support your opinion) both share the exact same connotation.

If so, you're logic is not only unsound and not worthy of any further responses but you're committing one of the most hilariously dumb etymological fallacies (a term you and few posters in this thread apparently aren't aware of) I've seen in a while.
