the N word

i just feel that censoring words and having one group of people "own" that word is BS. if blacks say nigga to one another--in expressions as offensive as "you're one stupid nigga"--why is it that the mere mention of the world from a white man makes it such a bad thing.

i've practically grown up with blacks, my ex-girlfriend was black and my best friend was black. what pissed me off was how after knowing someone for sixteen years the moment i said the n word he turned around and called me racist.....and i just pointed out the irony of knowing him for sixteen years and being his best friend.

what pisses me off is how knee-jerk it is. you siad the n-word, BAM! you're racist. no compromise. its the context that really matters. how can someone you've been practically brothers with, lived with, grown up with be racist?

brothers can fight, fall out and betray one another.

and best friends can feud when one starts taking things for granted.

In summary, where someone has a black g/f or b/f who uses the n word when talking Ebonics with their family and friends, It is verbal abuse to start calling them ****** without establishing whether they are comfortable being called a ****** by their partner from a different ethnic background.

One thing that baffles me is why certain black people keep using it to refer to one another! It is so wrong.

That whole ''I can call myself that, but you can't'' crap just doesn't fly.

Slaves didn't come from Nigeria or Gambia or Ghana.

There wasn't A Ghana A Nigeria Or A New Guinea or Democratic Republic of Congo or Nyasaland which later turned to Malawi etc.

These were European created Nation States After Native Forms of governance were dismantled and progressively eradicated by The Signatories to Otto Van Bismarks' Division Of Africa conference convened to preempt and organise the scramble for Africa.

Analysis of your scrips suggests circular logic[well meaning] and an allergy to factual information aided by a not too flexible attitude, could keep you from realising a rudimentary understanding of the current status of The Pan African diaspora.

:note to self:

Perm Ban Imminent.

historically people who've encouraged African Americans to travel to The African Continent have never had good intentions

Reference Popular Culture: English Phrases current decade & preceding half century: Western Europe and The U.S.

"go the fVck back to Africa!"

often followed by the noun

"Ni**er!"

from the overall tone of the message the helpful advice to emigrate had a heavy hint of ... you know what. I'll stop right there. My red perm ban indicator light is flashing.

Adieu.

I have a strong feeling you don't know what you're talking about and you seem to be smoking that crack again. I keep telling you to leave it alone, but you don't listen.

Deadline racially motivated ethnic slurs are often meant to strike at an open wound and bring back painful memories of the past.
Can Anyone really explain use of the insult w*g for example without referring to the period in history where caricatures of black people were presented as gifts to Caucasian children for entertainment.

History is also involved when racists call people of Irish descent: **t l*****s.

If you're Irish And you know your culture and history, you know what that stands for And you know who thought it was a clever thing to say. If you don't its probably a good thing.

Thats not really what im refering to im pretty god damn sure slaves came from Ghana and Nigeria. Thats like African Slave trade basics. Its like you have no idea what you're talking about. Ease off the crack.

Its like talking about The Roman Empire and stating that The Romans never conquered Gaul (well at least part of it...not sure about the whole thing)

You're missing the point.

were the Iriquois restricted by U.S. statelines and the Border with Canada in 1600.A.D.

did the Navajo call themselves "US Citizens" in 1100.A.D. and did they hang out on reservations.

Borders Deadline. Borders.

Sounds like semantics not sure what your point was. Still not sure what your point was.

That really didn't answer my question of who you were "stripped culturally." Was just curious, doesn't matter.

Still don't understand the negative towards "these corporations" though, unless they're still practicing the slave-trade. What should they do now, about their possible roots? <-- please do answer this, I'm curious.

I do acknowledge (and have witnessed) the prejudice blacks face in America, many a time. They're not the only ones though.

What I don't understand, is why "black culture" for lack of a better word, propagates the negatives, the 'gangsta' lifestyle, obsession over unneeded material possessions, derogatory view towards women, especially black women, violence, drug use etc. etc. etc. Others won't change their views, until blacks do it themselves, first.

What should corporations do? Nice trick question. I know what you wanna hear but i'm not gonna go there. The flames my answer will spark won't be worth the time i'll spend on here explaining myself away while you get entertained by it all.

And Blacks aren't the only ones but they recieve it the most outta any race. too bad.

Black culture is not that. A good part of Hip Hop culture is that, get it right. And no it's not the same thing. There are millions of blacks that do not listen to hip hop. And Rock or Metal is just as negative, just as much.

How's it a "trick question"? You're blaming them for something they no longer practice. So what should these corporation do now, 150+ years later? Also, which corporations exactly? I'm asking, out of curiosity, not because I want entertainment. It's easy to blame, though it's worthless when you don't have a resonanble solution to back it up.

Really depends where you go, imo.

But it's prominent with blacks. As there's very few white rappers talking about the pros of black on black violence and degrading black women etc. Seems the change needs to start internally, before you can expect others to change their views.

Metal is possibly the most negative mainstream music known to man.

Dosclaimer: some metal is gppd.

I call my black friends nigga all the time. They don't care. They call me nigga too.

If they're your friend, like a really close friend, most black guys are fine with you (a non black) called them ******. I hung with mostly black guys growing up. We would ball at the park, go out for 40's later, they would call me white boy and I would call them ******.

Then, after many 40's of Saint Ides and Olde English, RJ would give them all oral; only stopping to take short breaths and calling them "*******."
