Brits complain over Kanye use of the N-WORD

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.
We have a myriad of problems. The problem is simple people looking for a simple answer. No solution is going to be good enough for some people, because each solution requires sacrifice, basically from answer group of people who won't sacrifice shit. I won't praise ignorance nor accept it from myself, or those I surround myself with. I will leave yall to your "dumb shit"
 
We been using this since the 60s I guess yall never listened to Richard Pryor huh? Ya'll too concerned about crackas and their if you can say it why can't we. Nobody said a cracka can't say it. Just don't be shocked when you devils get a broken jaw when it flys.

60s lol...far earlier than that...can be retraced back to the 30s easily and was probably used before that
 
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!!

You complain about things we don't control ALL DAY

And we teach our kids our history and our image ALL DAY

And teaching them to marginalize themselves and to self define themselves as niggas is on us not those you complained about..

Why be offended when others use a negative narrative to define us then see nothing wrong when we do it to ourselves..

Brotha Sista Blackman God...its easy to define ourselves in the positive

Unless they have taught you well to marginalize and undervalue yourself..
Makes it easy cause they don't have to...

BROTHA ,THATS TOTALLY FINE,I RESPECT UR DECISION, BUT I DONT BELIEVE WHITE FOLKS HAVE ANY FUKKIN RIGHT TO TELL ME AND MY PEOPLE WHETHER WE CAN OR WHEN, WHY OR HOW TO USE THAT WORD.

......SMALL PRICE TO PAY FOR WHAT THEY'VE DONE AND CONTINUE TO DO TO MY PEOPLE.. 2cents

Shouldn't be white people telling you...should be your own self worth..should be your pride as a black man..

Should be one if the things the white man gave/imposed that you rebuke

White man said you was a ****** and you say yes boss i'm a nigga

White man says you a monkey and you say i'm a chimp but how I use it chimp ain't a what they think it is cause we took ownership of the word

ballscout1, I'm not defending the use of the word like I feel using it is a good thing...

...but lets not pretend like many black people don't speak casually, in a very harsh manner.

I'm considered to be articulate by everyone that knows me...

...but I throw around so many motherfuckers, and phrase things in a way that would be considered callous by people who didn't grew up in the type of environment that I did, on a regular basis.

We call each other "bitches"; "motherfuckers"; "dumb";"damn fools"; 'stupid'; 'kill yo' self', when we aren't being offensive, and...

...to the point that using the word 'nigga' doesn't even register as offensive. I know the history VERY well, but its the way we speak. Its hardly the only word that'd be considered offensive that is used by people that don't 'get it'.

Truth be told, I don't even think about the way many black people talk until I'm around people - black or non-black - who don't speak that way.
 
All those other expletives are no where near as demeaning historically to an entire race of people.

Most Black are okay being called a n...a, but will get mad as fuck is you call them African.

We purposely destroy ourselves as adults and spit that negativity out to our children.

Just like i thought, whole lot of nothing in response.

Feel good about your high and mighty stance of not "praising ignorance"

I don't use the shit either neither does majority of the people I know

But I'll be damned if I think that the N word is something that's holding black people back.

Work on real problems work on big problems then tackle the rest of the shit.

Dudes like you are just.... nvm not even worth it

I'm not going to type a dissertation to change your mind, either you down or not. It's that simple. I'm not Malcolm X here to lead you.

How you feel is subjective period. There is no absolute. So if someone sees it as endearment because that's how they choose to use the word then so be it. Those that don't then don't use it it's simple.

it's a weak ass divide.

its like when people were telling kids to worry about what's in their head and not what's on top of it.. then that college came along and decided what's on top of it is more important than what's in it

I'm the VERY LAST person you could ever try to question on whether I'm down or not. The. Very. Last. Person.

The question is, are you going to spend your time chastising people about saying the n word

or are you going to go out there and reach those that do and bring them in with the people who don't for a cause greater than either of them?

In response to your last edit I am a leader, i don't need to be led.

fuck kanye, man - dude lost my support

cats need to do more international travel and hear fools from some random far flung country talkin' bout "n**** this or that" while having little to no context (social or historical) to lyrics they are reciting.

us saying n**** to each other in casual convo rarely offends me but really can't stand it in music/mass media. most of the artists are just saying it to be saying it anyway - like the overuse of cursing.

i know, i know - it's just words and words have no power. hell, mass media has no influence either :rolleyes:
 
The problem is white people and the system of racism/white supremacy and not the N word!

As long as this is a major issue, the easily distracted will focus away from bigger issues that affect them and the outcome of their lives.

I'm not an N word advocate. I am against looking down on black people who do use the word. I am against not including them in the overall goal of progressing.

This ain't even about Kanye because he's a tortured lost dude who contradicts himself everyday in every way.
 
Nobody really looked at that link...nobody. There was no complaining about him dropping the n-bomb, more so people complaining that it was edited.​

Prison is a badge of honor for these so called hip hop artist. It is romanticized, idolized, glamorized, and fetishized. Ignore how systems are in place to perpetuate the disenfranchisement of black and brown bodies as it relates to the prison industrial complex.

Lil Wayne constantly brags about this, “prison in February and I aint in no rush”. Tupac uses prison as a FORM of death, “I’d rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6″. He knows the horrors of prison all too well and told the Black youth that prison is not somewhere they want to be.
 
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.

This all day long
 
Maybe someone can help Me out here...

I forgot which NBA Finals it was.
It may have been the 2011 or 2012 Finals and Playoffs
"NI**AS IN PARIS" by Kanye and Jay-Z was being played during various Time-Outs.

No one sees anything wrong with that?
