I've lived about a 15 minute walk away from Flatbush, Brooklyn (the neighborhood, not just the street) since 2006. I've been tight was Caribbeans for the last 25 years, since college. They don't use the word heavy. Maybe it has existed in the past but it's not a normal part of their lexicon like it is for us. For better or worse that word just comes out of our mouths, so it's ours and ours alone.
Is it ok for Africans, Black Europeans, or Afro Latinos to say the n-word?

Its modern usage serves as a marker of in-group status.
The question is, are you in-group?

For context, for those who want to argue with me about this, as an ADOS I'm going to do my best to not say other cultures' bad words either: c00lie, d0ugla, k4fir, etc. I don't know why y'all insist on defying us when we tell y'all certain words aren't for y'all to say.

Nayga is N1gger with a Caribbean accenta
nikka is N1gger with a southern AA accent
It's literally the same word but just pronounced differently. The only difference is amongst AAs it's sometimes used as a term of endearment.
Right In the caribbean its more 'ol dutty nayga'
A dutty word with a dutty history

See I hear you on this one because I've got several UK artists in my playlists. I remember coming across this one on SpotifyWas just listening to UK rap and kept hearing dude say nikka.
Didn't hit the ears right
I was vibing and then about halfway through, breh sounded like he went hard ER. Rest of the track I was thrown off.
@Morose Polymath maybe I'm tripping, you hear it too?
stupid logic, the language itself dont even belong to you
when gate keeping goes stupid
I dont use the word, but the logic is horrible. I'll use it if I want, my currency is just as black(even moreso than yours) FOH
..with all due respect of course.
Some of them say it with the er. It feels racist even if it's not their intention. We start saying or calling ourselves fa76t54rfgffsfh!@#$, they will follow suit under the guise of "we all black". Need more leadership from them, less dikkriding.
They can say it but it's no different than Whites, Asians or George Lopez saying it. They wanna be down and cool with the hippity hop hop.
