Is it ok for Africans, Black Europeans, or Afro Latinos to say the n-word?

[TEH]

If you’re not black and if your Ancestors were not enslaved in the Americas then you can’t say it. The word is from a result of chattel slavery in the Americas. For that reason I give Afro Latinos and Black non c00n Caribbeans a pass but hell no an African should not say it. It’s not their history and they should be checked for saying it.

we shouldn't reclaim slurs regardless but i aint pressing anyone black who says it. How many times a day do you say it in vocabulary?

 

[skokiaan]

Imagine trying to gatekeep that word.

 

[Scipio]

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.

Do you go around calling people kaffirs too? What about saying coolie? I won't because those aren't historical terms of my people. You shouldn't do anything like that either.

And I can't lock you up if you use the N-word, so you'll be safe. But you will be wack and that's on you.

The N. Word no R being compared to Kafir.

Don’t give a shyt, because im rarely around them and im mostly around older black folks who’s past those times

One thing I do think is that "c00n" needs to go and everyone needs to go back to using "sellout" and "uncle tom".

the fukk are you talking. "Chattel Slavery" didn't even the term. People did. White skinned people, used their white languages. It was originally used to refer to all dark skinned, non cac people. They was calling Africans the n word before they started enslaving Africans.

English cacs flipped it to be primarily used on us when they started kidnapping us to America.

And to claim ownership over a form of oppression is crazy. So many of us are still in the white man's chokehold.

I'm not offended by it but it usually sounds weird and forced like suburban Black people using certain slang

I’m gatekeeping it




Plus post receipts about when the word was first used since you know so much about it.

 

[feelosofer]

We're having diaspora wars over a word we should have abandoned years ago.

 

[MoshpitMazi]

Africans and black euros yea Latinos saying it always been funny to mr

 

[Collateral]

I definitely limit my use of the word irl, and only say it amongst other black people. But it’s just a word that will never go away regardless how anyone feels especially with non black people using it so freely today. It always will be in my vocabulary.
