Just so y'all know…
N!gga = N!gger
You can type up a text wall from here to Ghana and it still wouldn't change this fundamental fact.
Good point bro.
I've been trying to tell the same thing to these misguided hip hop followers who suffer from arrested development. However they are so disconnected from their roots and identity; they can't understand how damaging that word is to a race of people.
Up until the twenty first century, you haven't seen any other racial group embrace a derogatory term to identify themselves except Black pp, which leads me to believe there has to be some type of psychological disposition that prevents us from understanding the true definition of words and the power they have.
don't get me wrong,I used to use the word until the age of 18 but after I got a little older(27)I begin to understand the power of words and how certain words were made to dehumanize black people centuries ago.
In order to understand this, you have to know how the mind of a person who suffers from Arrested Development functions. They don't want to grow up and be responsible havestructure,organization, discipline self awareness as well as self respect.
Besides,many of us don't aspire to be anything great or outside of the standard norm therefore we have no standards it will tolerate just about anything.
Now we have nonblacks calling us nikka in public like its 1951 again and, its all due to a small number of ignorant black people who decided to make it publicly acceptable to say that word.
Before we see any progress amongst ourselves there will have to be a code of conduct,accountability and certain boundaries not to cross when it comes to social behavior.
