im dominican, born,raised,still residing in harlem, i never in my life have been looked sideways for saying nikka.
Ya act like the word "nikka" is such a precious word that only blacks can use it, if you grew up in the hood anywhere in the U.S, more chances than not this is a word that you hear on a everyday basis. Now of course its cringe-worthy when you hear white/indians from the suburbs use this word, because we know its just them trying to be "down". But to say latinos cant say it because we cant relate to what blacks went thru back in the day is fukking dumb
my grandparents are dark skinned dominicans, ya think back in the day them cacs just let them rock cause they was "latino". WRONG. They got called "******s" just like everyone else, they got turned away on most jobs just like everyone else, they couldnt eat in certain places just like everyone else. Dominicans (and other Caribbean people) can actually trace back some of their ancestors to slaves from africa, same bunch that got sailed to america...so lets not even go there and use it as an excuse as to why only "blacks" can use it..fukk outta here
its part of my vocabulary because it comes natural to me, its not me or anyone else in that position trying to be "down". Some of ya really need to get over it, no one is saying it in degrading way, no one is using it with the "ER" in the end...some of you motherfukkers get real uptight about it like if ya ever experienced the shyt ya grandparents went thru back in the day. Most of you idiots in here were born in the 80's, get off that BS militant shyt thinkin its blacks against the whole world.
