"Coming Out" Of The N-WORD Is Such A Liberating Feeling

You're too short sighted to understand the connection between the language and culture of a people.
Its part of our programming at this point. Out of all the things black people need to consciencesly make an effort to break free of. The n word probably aint in the top 10. But as long as you listen to rap,and as long as you have a limited vocabulary. You probably are going to use the word as a crutch more than anything actually harmful.
But just look how dudes magically stopped using the word f@ggot,once rappers got chumped and made to stop using it
.
With that said,whether I use that word or not its not going to stop me from getting upset if a cracka calls me a n1gger
Whether I react or not will be based on the fact im older and wiser now. So i think about the consequences and if its worth it. And im guessing nobodies ever called you that for you to actually know if your "free" of that word or not lol. I will never judge anybody for how they react to being called anything. I might judge them for an overeaction or going about it in a stupid way.
But there is nothing wrong with beating the brakes off someone who insults you intentionally. Theres something wrong with the fact its illegal to do so. You can blame that on the European.

I stopped using it in my everyday speech a decade ago or so. No judgement if you do but I try to refer to my fellow brothers and sisters in the best of ways to my ability.
Your post is extremely ironic to me because we are at the absolute bottom of society largely because of how we feel about ourselves and each other.
And us calling and IDENTIFYING as "n1ggas" is one of the main reasons why we think so lowly of ourselves.
Nothing will change until we change from within. I know we HATE to hear that. We'd rather the white man to decide to take his foot off our necks.
It's crazy to me that the simple concept of stopping calling yourself the most degrading and dehumanizing word on the planet is labeled "respectability politics". Wow!!!!
The last thing anybody could accuse me of is being short sighted. Trying to have a funeral for the n-word is the most short sighted thing you could do in regards to this issue.
Also I study language in depth and fully understand it's power in every aspect of our lives, which is why I refuse to invest effort or attention in either direction into nikkadom of any kind. The "culture of a people" in this case, which is really just a COLLECTIVE EGO is centered around victimhood that I have very little attachment to. Black twitter lost it's mind because some white bytch called a bobcat a nikka...A BOBCAT
In the interest of being far-sighted...what would be more pratctical...putting the 'nikka' genie back in the bottle, baning it, substituting it out for "My G" or neutralizing, if not dissacociating from nikkadom all together?
We need a clean slate and you're never going to get so called black people en masse to move exactly the same way unless they're in danger and have to out of survival. I've literally seen people on here romanticize the civil rights, segregation era for that very reason...
Swapping out words ain't going to undo that kind of damage.

Corey Holcomb said on his show, when they shot "Black Jesus" producers allowed the N word to be used as much as possible while "bytch" could only be used like 1 or 2 times per episode and only in certain contexts.

Come out of nikkas brehs.
I been stopped using that word irl unless I am hanging around real close fam, and even then it only comes out a few times.
I have always found it a waste of time telling non-Black people to don't say it when thousands upon thousands of Teens/Adults are saying it a music concerts still. Shyt is a losing battle unless rappers stop using it.
In terms of the slur, I have reached a point in my life where words don't hurt me if coming from random ass people. I will call them out on it though and tell them they are a POS. Now there is instances where I try to walk away but the person keeps at it. So if they do that or touch me, that is a different story
