Drake shouldn’t be allowed to call Black people both racists AND nikkas.

[AnonymityX1000]

I know his history, but I also know that he has a Black wife & 2 Black kids. Obama and Drake aren't the same.

OK, that happened when he was a grown ass man we are talking about his upbringing.

How did Obama grow up black when he was raised by white people in Hawaii and Indonesia?

Did you guys just see the word "Obama" and stop reading? I only used his name because I was replying to someone else. I mentioned Bob Marley & Frederick Douglas, too. Ask me about them, or let's get back to the subject of Drake.

 

[Rollie Forbes]

I disagree that Barack is culturally black

Ok

No, we're talking about Drake using the n-word & calling Black people racist. Obama's upbringing has nothing to do with the subject of this thread.

I don't like hearing ANY rappers use that word anymore (one of the main reasons my rap music consumption has went down) but there's a few rappers that it always rubbed me the wrong way...and it's these biracial suburban type rappers like Drake, J cole & Joyner Lucas. (Logic also but I don't think he uses it that much)


They use the word mainly to OVERCOMPENSATE the fact that they are half cac....they use it to APPEAL to black people and feel it makes them more AUTHENTIC to the black crowd and hip-hop culture generally speaking.

They also use the word (like full black rappers also) to sound tough and Intimidating.

The Nword is a word that black men use alot of times to INTIMIDATE each other...to sound tough...to sound "hood"...to sound "street".....to sound "down"......to belittle the person/people you're speaking to (can't none of you n1ggas see me).

Lots of you do this and don't even realize it....it's all subconscious.

Another rapper is that YBN Cordae guy. I don't know if he's mixed but I see right through him and the Nword. He uses it excessively in the few songs I've listened to and he OVERCOMPENSATES with it to sound tough when we all can take one look at him and tell he's not a tough guy.

The Nword is basically a right of passage for black men and black adjacent men.

It really takes alot to come out of the word and just be yourself and say "nah, I'm not going to use it".

Some use it out of self hate and hatred for other black people and others use it because they are followers and want to fit in.

shut up nikka

You brought him up not me and said he was culturally Black. I'm correcting the record and saying that's false. It's not an insult no one has control over how they were raised.

It’s not racist, it’s just name calling. Black people can’t be racist let alone racist towards another “black” person

nikka yes they can. Its called internalized racism.

Ok

Invited the police and Henry Gates to the white house, when the police came on his property on some bullshyt

Called Baltimore rioters thugs

Dude is a. Chameleon and will say anything to get what he wants
No true beliefs

What part of being Black is that?

 

[Mʀ2ᴋDᴇᴇᴢ]

Ever watched a movie where they say “nikka” but the closed captions would say it with the er at the end????!

All the time, first time I saw it I was like yo hold up

I didn't bring him up, the guy I replied to did. Even if I did bring him up, though, he wasn't the only name I mentioned. Don't get hung up on one word, read the entire post.

I said "Ok", but what does any of that have to do with the subject of the thread?
