Lionel Ritchie on Kanye's Brit performance: I Don't Think It's OK for a Black Man to Use the N-Word

[Rack4K]

I agree with him

*bumps All Night Long*

 

[1stPick]

Ignore chattel slavery, domestic terrorism, institutionalized racism, and white supremacy for an opportunity to shyt on black folks brehs.........

nah but older black people have failed us though, he's got a point

It's not about using the word amongst other black folks. Never has been. Its about c00ns like Kanye promoting use of the word amongst cacs and others. And yes he actively does this when he performs. Tells the cacs in the crowd its ok to sing along and say nikka. Kanye is married to the biggest white slut on the planet. Dated the 2nd biggest white slut on the planet in Amber and yet folks acting like he is some type of black power representative.

Most of these ignorant c00n entertainers that say nikka all day are on record saying they dont have a problem white folks saying it either. Look at all the ones who jumped to defend beiber or that kreshawn chick.

Kanye west is nearly 40 with q white wife and child yet still spewing ignorant poison.

But people talk about the boy like he's a modern day Malcolm X / Robert Mallet

 

[John Hull]

So this begs the question: Is the word ****** the source or the catalyst for cac discrimination/racism against us?

It's an interesting idea to be sure. I do know that honkies are very creative when it comes to racial slurs and have no problem substituting nig nog, jungle bunny, thug, spook, jigaboo, darkie, mud, shytskin, for ******- you name it they claim it.

I also know that Empire is the highest rated show on teevee right now, and it's about Hip Hop (and gays) and doesn't use the word ****** afaik. So there's that. However, there's plenty of ******ized content on that show so the actual word itself is unecessary at that point.

Perhaps the better question would be- do certain blacks feel the word nikka or it's variants are necessary for success in a commercial platform? I tend to roll with the free speech crowd, but in today's climate with the knowledge that the majority of participants of any live paying audience will be cacs I wonder is the abuse of that word a new form of c00ning?

I cringe everytime I see a car roll by with a non-black driver bumping that YG, Young Jeezy My nikka bullshyt, makes me wanna carjack and rip out the mp3 player

Someone like Kanye who openly panders to cacs (Forget about New Slaves trash politics ) has forfeited the right to pretend like he's using it in the rebellious nature of say... Chuck D on Anti-****** machine.

He's a c00n at this point. A very colorful, tragic, confused, wealthy c00n. So I gotta side with the O.G on this one.

white designer allowed to make a nikkaz in paris label as well

kayne west is a kewn, dude went from black Jesus in music videos, dating black woman in alexis phifer, a strong black rolemodel in his mom to a full fledge kewn

 

[Un-AmericanDreamer]

Black rap artists curse too much and use the n-word too much in theit lyrics, it's not even edgy anymore when ever other word is "fukk" or "nikka". Rappers need to break out a thesaurus.

 

[YourSavior]

 

[keepemup]

He's making it seem as if we haven't been using nikka for decades normally. He's being an ass. My grandmother is old enough to be his mother and she know nikkas say nikka all the time.

How old are you?

 

[NormanConnors]

Kanye's not in Lionel's league . It's best he not respond with anything disrespectful.

 

[ALonelyDad]

how did this shyt turn into Lionels wife and gf? lol

 

[King Poetic]

He's right to a point.. he said nikka in front of those Europeans..

I have no problem with word around black fans, but don't express that shyt in front of others...

And I can't hate on a legend like Lionel Richie...

nikkas always bring up who's he dating or married to, to justify kanye dumb ass

 

[Gaara]

i agree we should lay off that word.

 

[Oceanicpuppy]

Old head doesn't know it's been this way for decades now. He clearly has no contact with black people. This is phony as hell.

He when to historically black college, married a black woman and still gives back to the black community GTFOH!

 

[Oceanicpuppy]

Why don't they matter?

Old school can't tell New school shyt?

This generation doesn't respect their elders, Its like talking to a brick wall with some of these guys.
