Brits complain over Kanye use of the N-WORD

[GAMETHEORY]

The complainst to the UK's communication watchdog have started to roll. Looks like Kanye,Jay Z and other American artists and obviously some Pro N word brigade will never understand why people feel offended over the use of this self demeaning word

Anyway....

His punk ass shouldn't use any word that his wife would get blasted for using in public.

 

[knightmelodic]

I also just can't understand how Black people can be okay with the word. No matter how much "re-defining" is done white people still hear 'ER'. And they love the fact that we are embracing a word that epitomizes their fear and hatred of us.

Agreed. And im glad the Brits are complaining about this shit. I watched the performance in another thread and i felt a bit uneasy about the overuse of the word in a room full of stiff euro ofays. Funny thing was he self edited the word "bitch" but kept rattling off nigga like it was going out of style.

they mad they cant use it and we can !! small price to pay!! carry on!

The N-word brigade will fight for the right to be N*ggas....lets see how this play out.

 

[playahaitian]

I can't lie I posted the vid earlier I noticed he was going extra heavy with that word in front of a predominately white crowd...when it was completely unnecessary...

It reminded me of Drake when he feels he needs to sound STREET.

I'm a little tired of it in rap. I've been to shows with 90% white people and the word just sends something you. When you hear the part in Jesus Walks where it goes "NIGGAZ" and some of the "NIGGAZ" might snatch your necklace" ..that shit feels wrong with 100's of white people around. Time for rap to evolve. Get their heads out of their asses and take it back to when it was good to listen to.

Agreed. I'm SO FED UP with black people wantonly using this word with pride.

 

[mangobob79]

everyone has their angle ! yes
we can show blackfolks in the most unflatering light ,ALL DAY!!

we can show movies that constantly demeans and
diminishes an afrikan peoples' life ,ALL DAY!

we can lie in books that are used in schools to teach all over the world about afrika peoples history ALL DAY!!

we can show propaganda movies to high school students and the world in general all lies about afrikan peoples and their accomplishment in the world and put it on national tv on international stages ALL DAY !

we can give them AIDS and poison their water ALL DAY!!

but...... how dare afrikan people use the word N.I.G.G.A. the same word we used to demean them but now we cant white fols cant use that word!! ??

GTFOHWTBS!!! ALL DAY!!

 

[Theo_Huxtable]

I'm pretty much done with it. It used to be my thing but I just started to feel like it was childish in a way. Plus the shit is just getting TOO mainstream, brothas need to also realize shits basically up for grabs once it's mainstream. But I hope Kanye and all these other rappers ain't got a problem when their white audiences sing along.

But the shit really doesn't seem to be nearly as big of a deal as the article makes it. They talk about Lionel Richie and Taylor Swifts reactions being jawdropping but Lionel's just watching (looking like he's more worried about catching the front end of that blowtorch) and Taylor's just dancing. Then the Tweets are mostly people upset at the censors. So basically this was just a bullshit article to push their own agenda. The media strikes again!​

YES AND WE CAN ALSO STOP WORRYING ABOUT WHAT MAKES WHITE FOLKS "UNCOMFORTABLE" AS THE OTHER OP SAID , HE WAS APPALLED AT HOW THEY WERE "WANTONLY USUNG THE WORD IN FRONT OF ALL THOSE GOOD WHITE PEOPLES"

No.
U can choose to not listen though or just listen to artist who share ur sensibilities

Why do some people want/need to control what other people say or do when those words/actions harm no one

bunch of weirdo control-freaks

You mad about folks wanting other folks to better themselves? Man stop.

 

[largebillsonlyplease]

You mad about folks wanting other folks to better themselves? Man stop.

That's the dumb shit right there. bettering yourself by using or not using the n word?

I don't use the shit frequently if at any point but I'll be damned if I try to say it's for betterment.

If you really about betterment then the word wouldn't be an issue. The word distracts from REAL ISSUES and REAL PROBLEMS we need to be addressing

we aren't in a place where we can be worried about OUR OWN USAGE of the word when there are things we need to do overall together to ensure we fucking survive.

Being black will get you killed

Until that stops being the case let's focus on that first and then everything else.

 

[mike123]

You mad about folks wanting other folks to better themselves? Man stop.

lol
better themselves just from not using a word
that sounds alot like magic to me
plenty losers and people forced to live shitty lives have never even heard of the word and infact probably have their own racial slurs that mean a whole lot more to them then anything goin on in our goofy western culture

u or the other word police could explain how nigga is negatively effecting the black community or any community for that matter but none of u will have a logical response that can be discussed in any meaningful way

but ya wont
cause this whole issue is about control
yall wanna control what everybody says/ feels
but ya cant control ur own emotions

I don't like, and am uncomfortable with the usage of the N word period, but as you say using it in a room fulla White people? I'm glad they have a problem with it, because WE should...or more of us should, because I know a lot of us do.

Obviously the end of that word is NOT the end all be all in terms of making folks better. It's just a step in the right direction as far as folks respecting each other. You sound mighty angry that people have an opinion about using the word, as though the people are duct taping people's mouths.

make who better? Kanye or Jay? them niggas doin fine as far as i can tell
black people in this country?
making folks better relative to who?
if ya dont live in chicago or detroit as an american ur doin ok globally, if not great

respect is a tricky thing
if 2 or more people, regardless race, are interacting and they use the word and theres no hurt feelings among anyone in the group then was anyone disrespected?

but if someone from the outside like urself jumps in an tells people that they should feel disrespected by the word then whats really goin on here?

so like i said u wanna be able to tell other adults how they should feel about certain words
and ur rationalization for that position is thinking like u will make the lives better in some vague way

yall word police need to take a step back an ask ur selves why do u wanna tell people what to do or how to feel so much
