""Nigga" been nice knowing ya, don't let the door hit ya...."


  

          

In the span of 10 days I've seen both 'Paid In Full' and 'Dope' and I'm ready to never hear another black man call or refer to another black man as "nigga"

can we agree to make it socially unacceptable to use this word under most circumstances?

its not a beautiful word

I'm done done done done done done done done done with it.

No more "niggas be like...."

No more "the EN word"

No more "but its different because it ends "A" and not "ER""

No more "c'mon dog whats up with these Mexicans/Koreans/Filipinos/White boys using OUR word?"

No more "yeah but no matter what, you still a nigga even if you don't say the word"

No more "we taking control over the word, its a term of endearment"





































fight, agree, counterpoint, discourse. whatever, i just had to get this off my chest. I cringe deeply when I hear a black man call another black man nigga and I get even more frustrated because I know this is not going anywhere soon.

It is just about out my vocabulary.

Which is how I wanted it to work. I just couldn't have someone else tell me I couldn't use it or try and preach to me that if I understood the history I wouldn't use it.

I think it was a form of rebellion for me. But the word is about as rebellious now as tattoos (not very).

It wouldn't be much of an issue if the conditions that allowed for it to exist and to persist would be addressed.

I never really used it myself and cringed pretty much from day one that it resurfaced as en-vogue. Nowadays it's an indicator as to whether or not I'll deal with a person.

In response to Reply # 55


  

          

as he starts to flinch as he "tires not to say it". I don't say it. Nor does my wife and son. No flinch, no conflict. If he said outright not to use it, then blam. I bet it slows mightily in the 90s. instead, the song is used as a banner to KEEP the word, as was used here.

once it is accepted socially... OKPers will follow suit. I mean, we clamoring for their flag. It's their recourse to dead that word for us (as a punishment. We can't have our flag, ya'll cain't have ya'lls word.) Ignorance is just ignorance and it hates to be alone.


I am a loner, however.

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

i've never been the type to say it around white people, cause i think we can own and control the power of the word. the less they hear it the better off. but i play music on the jukebox at my bar, and a lot of it is nigganigganigga, around white people. like Kendrick Lamar - Alright. great song. lotta "niggas". so i've started playing the edited versions of songs. fuck it. i'll listen to the cussing at home.

i just don't want them to be comfortable around the word. it might be too little, too late...but i'mma do what i can.
---------------------------------------
it's true what they say...people are strange, when you're strangers.

not compassionate....only polite.

I am not like you at all and i cannot pretend.

Alotta the niggas who say it on this site don't even use it IRL. Consider niggas who
are married to non-Black women. You think they're using 'nigga' all willy nilly at the house?
LOL. These niggas have me crackin up every time they type that shit. You even have
white niggas on here using it, claiming to be Black, tryna Dolezal they way into our
community discussions... and got folks riding with them. I don't understand how niggas
don't see through these white niggas.
But anyway, I usually only use the word IRL when I'm cracking jokes of some kind with
my BEELACK friends, because even my real Africans ain't very fond of the word.
Any non-Black person using it in my presence gets put at arms length off GP. Just the way it is.
Don't like it? Don't use it. foh white nigga. *shrugs*
I have actually stopped using it for the most part, but just don't come telling me I CAN'T
use it after being called that by white folks all my life, lol.

I fully support niggas bein on they Richard Pryor tho. *salute*

But in second thought makes a lot of sense if you factor in that black folks have watched each other get killed without consequence for centuries.

for the continued use of this word is proof that we're (Negroes) enabling white supremacy to maintain it's rule over us...and it speaks to in part to why we're in the condition we're in

Another reason why I tune out a lot of ppl who claim to honor and pay homage to their ancestors but somehow yet still don't see a problem w/using a word that was meant to demean, dehumanize, and ultimately destroy us a race.

if you think a racist saying "niggers should go back to Africa" has the same meaning as me saying "that's my nigga", you're just not very smart

language isnt simple but it also isnt that complicated if you're not a weirdo about it

and equivocate this word as if you're somehow stripping it of its power

When in fact you're just perpetuating the cycle of inferiority many of us have within as evidenced by you trying to justify the use of this word

The truth of the matter is we (meaning Negro/blk ppl) use the word in the pejorative more than white ppl do...and most times we're not using it as a term of endearment

When Chris Rock asks the question: "who's more racist?...white or blk ppl?"...and he responds "blk ppl because we hate niggas"

He's not using the word in an uplifting way..

Rappers don't usually use the word as a term of endearment either - they use it in a very negative manner too

There's just too much ambiguity BY US when it comes to that word

FTR, whites have pronounced it w/the 'as' at the end of the word

But that's neither here nor there

Because as I just pointed out that regardless of the spelling, rappers/others use the word to demean one another in their songs...and they're not using the "hard "ER" at the end of it

And you sound ridiculous talking abt it being a source of pride smh

You speak of this word as if it has some real (prideful) historical meaning to it

You really should be ashamed of yourself

confederate flag isn't a symbol of a racist heritage

But that FACTS of history say otherwise

So just because you say you don't *feel* inferior when you ascribe that word to yourself and your ppl doesn't mean your actions say otherwise

No matter what you and others say or how you try and equivocate, this is still THEIR WORD - not ours and we can never ever be "niggas" because we are GOD which is the polar opposite of the word nigga

you cant change the historical symbolic meaning of a flag
blacks have used the english language in different ways and developed a shared understanding

https://www.google.com/#q=fleek - this wasnt even a word before a girl said it and it went viral https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dfBdBpr7KCo

so yeah let's have black people stop using slang altogether because white folks once wouldnt allow us to think for ourselves

Do you honestly think they would agree w/your (warped) point of view simply because you spell it slightly different???

I maintain that our ancestors would be more ashamed and disappointed that in 2015 we're using this word to ascribe to ourselves than they would white racists using it

Especially in light of the fact that we as ppl still use the word in a prejorative and demeaning way towards one another more than the most hardened racist (contrary to what you believe based on the spelling) and these same blk ppl use it w/an 'a' at the end of it instead of the 'er' which you sadly thinks makes a difference

>you cant change the historical symbolic meaning of a flag

But we protested the flag being flown on government buildings and it has been removed...and that is a start...just like we can start the process of our own self-healing by doing away w/the labels of out oppressors...

>blacks have used the english language in different ways and
>developed a shared understanding

We're talking one specific word and at the heart of that word the meaning hasn't changed no matter who uses it

We don't have to discontinue the entire English language in order to stop using such a vile word to refer to one another as

There are so many words today that we no longer use in the English language...and we should let this be one of them

C'mon ppl we gotta do better

frames our whole world view and makes us enablers of white supremacy.
our continued use of their language and clinging to their philosophies and denouncing your real home enables white supremacy by leaps and bounds when compared to just the use of that word.

116. "But its not just any ol word we're talking abt here - there's a long"
In response to Reply # 112


  

          

history of oppression and dehumanization that's synonymous w/that word

It was intended to strip you/us of our personal and racial indentity


>frames our whole world view and makes us enablers of white
>supremacy.
>our continued use of their language and clinging to their
>philosophies and denouncing your real home enables white

Denouncing our real home????...and just where would that be?

That word itself is at the center of white supremacy because it refuses to recognize our humanity and by us fighting over the use of the word "nigga" is essentially us fighting their war for them...when we continue to label ourselves w/that word we are already embracing and internalizing their racist ideological view of us as a ppl

>supremacy by leaps and bounds when compared to just the use of
>that word.

Which explains your perspective

And you're right it's not a debate - because WE AREN'T AND HAVE NEVER BEEN NIGGAS despite SO MANY of us being misguided

This happens with "nigga" white folk think it's cool to refer to their homies as 'nigga'
Latino folks think it's cool to do the same.
I lived in the bay for bout a decade tho.
My point tho, is... why we gotta be cool with them using it when we ain't tryna use slurs for them?
Once again, Black folks gotta have different rules from everybody else just because we
make our shit look fly? LOL foh

but you do remember this right?

http://board.okayplayer.com/okp.php?az=show_topic&forum=18&topic_id=174892&mesg_id=174892&page=

Censoring "nigger" caused an uproar of (IMHO) self loathing brothers and sisters rarely seen on OKP, a community with a generally intelligent people. Eliminating "nigger" from the vocabulary across the board isn't happening, contrary to my desires.

101. "If the desire to change is truly present..."
In response to Reply # 80


  

          

it doesn't take that long. Instantaneous? Of course not. But It has been more than a "few" decades at this point, and the needle showing how much we as a people want to stop using the term has moved VERY little. If we as a group show little/no desire to stop the use of "nigger", many of us embracing it like a badge of honor rather that a term of degradation, then there is zero chance that outsiders of the group (non blacks) will stop. So, based on that, "nigger" will be with us forever. Sad, but true.

I hate that we throw it around so loosely and then wonder why people look at us sideways. To me that word is some lowest common denominator type ish. I just want us to aim for higher ground instead of wallowing in the mud. It's an old topic but it's never been resolved.

i think i just thought up the only thing that'll kill the word

white people have to reclaim it and start using it publicly

sure a lot of them may be shot stabbed and otherwise incapacitated in the process

but its the only thing that'll return the word to its ugliness and stop us from using it

whattayathink?

no one is ready to kill someone over the word

white folks should get over their entitlement and accept that out of every freedom they have, there's one thing they cant take from us

blacks have to stop being scared to be themselves when it's just us around too

In response to Reply # 100


  

          

to answer: I never implied that you dont have the right to be offended

but being offended is ironically playing into the same white supremacy you claim is supported by use of the word

"white folks used a similar word to harm us, we cant possibly use it in a progressive way"

Sean Hannity just said rap lyrics are as bad as the Confederate flag, if you want to frame an argument similar to those types of ideas then by all means feel free

135. "I said what I meant to say. I can't separate the history of the word "
In response to Reply # 109


  

          

and embrace it like so many of you seem to be able to do.

I don't WANT to separate the history of the word.
I don't WANT the word.
There is no power to be had FROM the word.
Embracing that word doesn't deflate the history and connotation of the word in any shape form or fashion. When you embrace it...you embrace ALL of it.

I've never been endeared by my brother calling me that. And everyone that I call my brother knows this. I don't get all preachy if they choose to use it....but they know there are much better and empowering ways to address me than by using a tarnished word with a derogatory history.

If someone called you stupid, would you want to embrace that and use it to empower yourself???

and other white OKP's

I hereby give you permission to use the n word (with an 'a or an 'er) provided that you only use it around the most thugged out dudes you can find

actually you should probably use it around rappers and their entourages so we can stamp the word out at its contemporary root

with your help we can return the n-word to its original ugliness and purge it from our vocabularies evermore.

thenk you allies,

worry about in the black community like
1. Single Parent Homes
2. Drug Addiction
3. Privatize Prisons using Black men as free labor
4. Republicans tryna stifle Our vote
5. Latinos being the bigger Minority now
6. etc....

Black men calling each other Nigga aint even on my radar. LOL

I think that had to do w/ pitch & cadence. It's tough for white/nasally-sounding Black folks to not sound terrible speaking AAVE, still love y'all cornballs tho lol.

what is your ideal scenario?

-Do we just continue using the word because we own it?

-We keep using it while correcting every non black person we find using it? Do we start a grassroots campaign? (We Say it! You can't™)

-We keep using it because no matter what they still see us as __ggers/naggers/n_words/niggers?



whats the perfect world for this?

since it skews towards profanity probably dont use it in a professional setting

since it isnt okay for everyone, dont use it in mixed company

just be normal and not okayplayery about it

And why do you choose to harp on popular stereotypes as a means of elevating your Blackness level in the diaspora?

What is it about your life in particular that has you so bent on attaining Level 10 Blackness and downing anyone that you deem not on your level??

You're the one making things "playery" in here....
