Remy ma cool with non blacks using n word, long as it isnt being used as racial slur

[smokeurobinson]

I think cali is the only exception where the two large populations of blacks n latinos livin together in the same areas didnt merge culturally


I get what yall sayin n as a black nyer i dont mind a prican or dominican from ny callin me nikka... but i think id trip out if i heard it from an ese in la

So u just gonna ignore Cali reps Cypress Hill saying the n word it all in their music in the 90's huh?

Didnt B Real call Cube a nikka in that diss record? No one said shyt when he did it too.

I was more concerned with Scottie Beam asking "can't we have anything for us?". How you blasting a word that you claim is for "you" to literally everyone in the known world on damn near every album and song you put out? You say (on record) "nikka" like it's the new "dude". You've commercialized it for the world. That has pros and cons.

Even Joe calling his white comrades "nikka" 10 times a piece every podcast.

I understand the feeling to have something exclusive to us. However, "nikka" is not the right word for that.

 

[Commish]

Why do the non Black friends of Blacks feel the pressing need to use that word in the first place?

Im going to need someone to break it down for me so I truly understand becauseI do not.

I can't speak for non-Blacks, but my guess is that amongst friends, everybody emulates everybody within that particular circle. They are "attempting" to use the word endearingly like how we use the term endearingly. Perhaps you and most Black people feel that only Black people can use that word as a term of endearment, but it could be argued that a non-Black could use that word without any racial malice.

Lastly, I honestly believe that Black people should not use that word around mixed company, public nor for entertainment purposes, but we do therefore others will continue listen, observe then emulate Black speech.

This whole N word saga is doing nothing but making Black people look like complete weaklings and fools.

What are the prizes to be won from the world calling you a ****** to your face, under the guise of Im from the hood too and listen to future? Has anybody benefitted anything of substance from using the term 'nikka'?

I hear you.
But my question and psychology behind it hasnt been property articulated.

Why would any Black adult give a cac or latino the benefit of doubt and truly believe or even assume they are using it endearingly?

If you allow people to demean and insult you at free will they will. White people are constantly pushing the limits of what is acceptable, and they do not have a culture of empathy and tolerance towards us so why believe your white 'friend' isnt actually being racist and appreciating the fact you allow them to get away with it. Youd have to be stupid to think that..

If I had non Black friends and they called each other racist terms specific to their group I wouldnt want to join them, why?

Just because you heard me call my girl a bytch doesnt mean you can too..

Every group or sub group has their own rules regarding what is or isn't acceptable.

It seems like you are assuming that it isn't possible for a nB to use the n-word endearingly, but a nB could argue otherwise. Also, if people can't be given the benefit of the doubt, then they can't be friends.

I know a lot of nB folks, but there is an unspoken understanding that they can't use that word around me w/o being offensive towards me. However, as a matter of courtesy, I don't use the n-word in their presence.

Lastly, what is the point of anyone trying to practice a double standard, if they lack the power to enforce it?

Remy's a dope MC, but she's wrong here. I posted in a previous thread that Remy said in a Shade45 interview that she didn't even know who Emmit Till was until she heard Kanye's "Through The Wire".
She doesn't seem to have an awareness of Black culture & history, IMO.
That word is drenched with the blood of our ancestors, coated in the suffering of our forefathers, and steeped in racism.
The word is OURS. Non-Black people have not earned the right to use it, and it will ALWAYS be disrespectful coming from them.
