that's what i wanna know also. I hear people like fat joe say it all the time and people let him, if thats the case let eminem say it.Unrelated, but how come it's okay for puerto rican rappers to say nigg/a but not whiteys?
tears down my eyes from laughing so hard :embarrassIt's about if you're black enough on the inside.
Lmao, are you serious? That's crazy...The next biggest hip hop scene, country-wise, is in France
wait first of all what do you mean by other slang terms? do you mean racial slang or just slang in general? im assuming you mean racial slang cuz theres plenty of normal slang still used today.I'm wondering why it didn't just go away like every other slang term did (the way the N word is used is similar to a slang term). Everytime some new word comes up in a song or something and people like it, they use it.
LOL FLICKTED. thats funny/tight. i kinda... feel like using that now hahaThey use it, and use it and overuse it till it gets boring and dies. At one time, people in my area were saying constantly "****, that dude got flickted!" which I thought was a ******** way to abbreviate "Inflicted"...but after awhile people stopped using it. Then it was "Yo dawg, that's overboard"...and so on and so forth till a new word comes up.
this is where i start disagreeing with you. i do not at all believe the n word has stayed alive solely because its an extremely powerful word. wetback is a powerful word, chink is a powerful word, shiet, even the word terrorist is associated with anyone from the middle east nowadays, and thats powerful right now in current times.Why has the N word stayed around this long? Because it's an extremely powerful word that has too much history to just "lose its power" from people using it like it's no big deal.
100% agreed. more than 100%.I mean, I'm a really tolerant person. I don't get offended by much because I feel that pretty much everyone's a little racist. I find it kind of silly now when I hear or see people (especially my own family) base their actions around stereotypes. It makes them seem kinda naive in this day and age (though serious racism is still around).
However, for reasons I cannot explain, if I hear someone saying the word who probably wouldn't say it around a group of black dudes...I feel a certain type of way, like reflex. It's like if a cute girl walks by, I have to stare a few seconds longer than an ugly chick...it's one of those kinds of things. I know it seems silly, they obviously don't mean the word to hurt someone or to be offensive...but for "just a word" to spark up a kind of apprehension in someone like me, a person who has no real attachment or history with racism or stereotypes or any of that...it shouldn't be taken so lightly.
Hell, I still feel a certain type of way when South Park says it...reflexively, I know it's just comedy n whatnot...but still..
it just started from this.Unrelated, but how come it's okay for puerto rican rappers to say nigg/a but not whiteys?

ARRRGGGGHHHHH
so how many black dudes are there in this thread? i'm half. dunno if that counts lol.
^^^HE DID IT!
Everything you just said is basically what I am and what I do.Mix breed right here too! Cept I'm mixed with white...
Yet the n word is apart of my social vocabulary. I only really use it in a "hype" or "joking" manner. I don't see anything wrong with it if used in such a manner that's not demeaning or charged with hatered.
ahh my fellow mixed brethren. mixed babies are on the rise, my dudeMix breed right here too! Cept I'm mixed with white...
