So a white person who is active in the black community as an activist can use the "n" word. Not sure what part of the country your in but like some previous posters have noted, some of us hispanics grew up in a black community where saying what up my nikka, is the same as saying what up son, what up b. Its a form of salutation.

I grew up in East New York where the population is predominately black and hispanic. Like I said it was something we grew up saying, not thinking much of it. Sure now a days I say it less considering where I am at now in life.

BTW skeets just trolling.


SMH you want to see the "n" word so bad, but scared of calling yourself black or deny the fact that Spanish speaking countries treat black skinned people like shyt? Or The fact that many Hispanic women dating black men still catch flack?

I don't know breh................you could make some strong arguments some of those pics dont' show wooly hair....a dark skin Indian (a Dravidian type person I believe its called) definitely doesn't have wooly hair, but are darker than many black folks I come in contact with....

Those people are black regardless.

Truth is, if you grew up with blacks you're going to say the word regardless.
Niqqa means dude,friend or guy.
Isn't this what we wanted ? To change the word around?

I understand puerto ricans,mexicans,dominicans on the east coast saying it because we all go to the same schools and talk to each other. I just don't get the LA latinos/hispanics who hates blacks yet they still call their friends and themselves it.

It's weird. But bottom line, if you listen to rap music you're going to say it.

Two women in my family are dating black men, one has two kids by a stand up dude. No one in my family gives two shyts about it. Deny what?? I live in America B, what happens in other parts of the world have zero burden on what I do on my day to day basis.

I leave that crusade for folks like you man, i got enough shyt going on in my world to worry about shyt I can't control.

But if you listen to some here it doesnt seem like black folks are treated well here in the U.S.A. either so what's your point, doggie?

Face it: We are behind enemy lines so you'll never be as comfortable as you would be at home.

And i know your next question is where is home? How about a predominantly black country? Move to Jamaica or Haiti or Guyana or anywhere in Africa.

oh wait.. ya'll afraid of those. Not those places. Some of ya'll swear black Americans were all kings and all came from Egypt and the other blacks from around the world came from the other "scary" parts of Africa aka sub-Saharan Africa

LOL my fam from Jamaica and they hardly say it, unless they really act ignorant. I hardly say nikka in public anymore and I'm 100% black. Funny how people want to say the 'n' word so badly, but refuse to help black folks overcome all the bullshyt and actually triumph. Embrace and sensationalize being cool, and leave us in the bushes when their culture becomes convenient.

I say that black people should cut down on the use of the word, and everyone else should eliminate the use altogether.

this shows ignorance at it's finest.

how stupid does this sound?

you're cool with a black person calling you the n-word, calling yourself it as well and referring to other black people that word as well in your regular vocabulary BUT then you get upset when a white person or someone who doesn't share the same skin color as you calls you that shyt.

you respect a black person that is busy robbing, beating up, shooting at, gunning down other black people. you call him "real" but yet if it's a white person doing that shyt, he's a racist.

i swear the biggest enemy of black people in america are themselves.

the same people that seem content in holding down themselves back as if the system isn't doing that already and taking pride in that shyt too. motherfukkers literally taking pride in destorying and putting down themselves than telling other people that join in that "you can't do it. i have the right to disrespect and demean myself and other people like me because i'm black." then turning around wondering why other people who aren't black throw the same shyt at them not realizing that they're already doing it to themselves.

you can't be upset if you're doing the same shyt. if you're black and doing shyt to disrespect WHO you are and hurt yourself and people that are black like you, you lost the right to point fingers ready to tell other people how to treat you and people like you. time to take some responsibility for yourself. if you disrespect yourself, you can't ask for respect. at least be able to hold yourself down when it's time to make a valid point for yourself. not saying that it gives other people the right to be racist towards black people and etc BUT that doesn't give you the permission to disrespect yourself because other people don't respect you.

i'm just so sick and tired of the hypocrisy that it's sickening. if you know that society doesn't like you for being black already and would do nothing but to see you FAIL and LOSE, why the fukk are you going to give society the delight for by doing what it wants you to do? you know how hard it is already even when you're doing the right things outthere so why the fukk are you going to do wrong and then talk about "why?" you already fukked up. it's one thing if you don't have a clue BUT most of you motherfukkers DO have a clue. don't make up any excuses to why you say the word and why you do that and the fifth if you KNOW about what's going on already. you're not stupid so stop behaving like you have no fukking sense.

I still stand behind what I said before: If you're so offended by the word SET THE EXAMPLE by not saying it your damn self. Unless it's in a song im listening to and repeating the lyrics you will almost never hear me say it.

The thing is we want our situation to change but are to lazy to make adjustment ourselves. Look at what you just said just now.
  • Others should "help black folks overcome"
  • Others should eliminate ...

Where is the effort and the work on black folks part? WE have to lead the way in OUR recovery and OUR elevation. There is an old haitian saying that goes "grès kochon an se li'k pou kwit li"

Means "the pork's own fat must be the grease that cooks it". Think about it doggie. As long as you sit there expecting others to do for you you will never be anything.

You right. I cut down the use of the word in the public and I make personal changes to make a better example of people who will follow.

  • Just as in the USA SOME white families give SOME white girls a lot of flack for dating black men.
  • Just as in the USA SOME black families give SOME black girls a lot of flack for dating white men.
  • Just as in the USA SOME black families give SOME black men a lot of flack for dating white women.


Ive only dated 3 latinas in my life so i can only speak form my experiences:

  1. Cuban - NMet her friends but never met her fam (except for little sister) because she said they wouldnt approve of her dating a black person
  2. Dominican - Her fam love me and give her a hard time for not still being with me
  3. Costa Rican - Her fam love me so much i often feel like they damn near worship me and i dont feel deserve it

Black families do that shyt too. My boy dated this spanish girl (think she was Nica) and when his mom met her I saw the :comeon: look on her(mom's) face.It was a party at his crib and I was just a guest and i could feel the tension

As for myself i do a good job of keeping my fam out of my dating life but I've brought nonblack women to friends parties before and my friends give me the :smh: look. They dont do it when i bring black girls so it must be the race thing. :shrug:

latino is used to describe a particular cultural background in general that is mixed with spanish and native roots. :smh: smh @ people thinking that because someone is latino, that means that they aren't white or black. some are mixed.

Black families rarely do that shyt. I could go as far as saying that black people are way less likely to hate "Latinos" than "Latinos" hating blacks.
