Yo at what point did black people start casually calling each other N***er
- Thread starter Standing on business
- Start date
when this weird ass black ppl who grew up around cacs found belonging on social media amongst each other.
Foh
African American Descendants of slaves are the only group that calls themselves nikka. Everyone else is copying y’all. Y’all made it cool to call yourself a nikka/******. c00n is also an American slur y’all use too.
I’ve heard nig, nikka , ******, negro, etc used by y’all dont try to lie and deflect because you don’t like it
I hear it In Maryland and DC nikka so your little oh these Caribbean island nikkas jab didn’t land
you arguing with yourself at the moment
I'm talking about c00n.
I didn't use a Caribbean island joke, so i don't know if you mistook me saying holed up as offense to your ethnicity which wasn't the case
I've been over the US and traveled abroad a good bit, and nowhere I've been have I seen dudes using c00n.
Rep to who remember the Heltak Skeltah song that they got the hook from this
heltah skeltah stan here. track is sean price from nocturnal.
Thats cool but that doesn't make it necessarily rightif you don't understand the difference between nikka and ****** then chances are you don't understand much about the nuances and creativity of your own people
and there's accounts of black people referring to each other as nikka since the 40's-50's, especially if you ever read any plays written by and performed by black folk

nikka is literally the way African Americans pronounce the word ******. Now we applied a different meaning afterwards but it's still the same word.
I have to strain myself to pronounce the er because it's not natural through my accent. The opposite goes for any other race. They sound goofy pronouncing the a because it's not natural to them.

Stay woke
Since slavery.
went to one of their shows at a hole in the wall club in atl back in the day. was live as fukk cause boot camp wasn't big down here and it was only hip hop heads there. good times
The distinction has always been kind of stupid.
Not going to act all high and mighty about folks using the word nikka because I'm not going to lie and say I get offended when I heard Richard Pryor was saying it or the numerous rap artists I've listened to it said it. I think it would be better if it wasn't said at all but I'll be honest, its not on my priority list. If some racist decides to call me a ******, there will be a problem off top like always but I never was a fan of black folks using the word so causally either.

I’ve seen Black Moon open for the Roots but never got to see Heltah Skeltah. When I met them some kid sitting in front of us turned around like

Me and my homeboy actually went and sat down next to them and hung out for a whole quarter. They were with that white dude Big Dru Ha
