I can empathize with you, but the way we use it is sublime. It transcends verbal communication. It epitomizes an experience.

It's a reminder of how disrespectful another of another race has mistreated a whole Continent of People. I don't care who uses it. It's wrong for us to openly call each other the N word. What one does in a private conversation is one thing, public display is another.

[@sunrise2148]

@@NatalieWright-cb6sv Yes, a reminder. We need reminders. Reminders provide reference. I rarely use it, my vocabulary is sufficient without it. Gratuitous usage is unsavory. But carefully placed, to provide emphasis...magical. I think the bigger issue is does the negative connotation have adverse psychological effects. Maybe. Communication is interesting. What I've learned about it is that you must know your audience.

It's easy to answer, they are not AA. There are names each group may say to each other, that's derogatory for another outside of that group to say. That's why respect for each other's culture is paramount if we are to get along. So if the majority of AA, do not like the word being thrown around by their own. You can imagine how it affects them, if one outside of the group uses it against them. Just keep the N word out your mouth and everything will be good. Peace

I'm on the outskirts of Houston, and it's definitely not an issue. There are so many African families in our area, and I hear the kids use it sometimes. My son has African friends, and I heard them use it playing video games while on Discord. African American kids and African kids are changing the narrative. it's the adults with the issues. I was told by my son African and African american kids band together. When African American student was called the N word by a white student, all the African American and Africans rushed to the area and were looking for the person using that word in a negative way. They even edit youtube video gaming streams together and I love the bond they are building. I love this channel

Big up yourself Oshay, you’re having the valuable conversations!

In Africa, Saying "My N- is just like saying "My Guy" No Context.

[@andamadesmond]

The guy with head dress has said the absolute truth about the N name in Uganda. I remember after watching many Hollywood videos as a teenager and adolescent. I used to call my name and title as N, b'se we know it is pride and identity of African American. With my trousers below my hip level. So I would say: Our African American brothers and sisters should understand is and not take it as offensive. We do it out of ignorance.

[@YAHschosen24]

As an "African American " I can totally understand what you're saying. Believe it or not the same issue applies with us, the majority of us here don't really understand both what we're calling ourselves and why? We just do it because that's what we've been called all our lives, so we had an Intimate relationship with the name. We have mothers here who say on the regular in front of her kids say "ni99as ain't sh@t" when we leave the house somebody driving down the street and their music is saying" ni99a ni99a ni99a ni99a ni99a please, I'm treated like a fuxing desease" that's when I see my ni99a willie lynch "ni99a ! What's up?" And he says "what's up my ni99a" and then we smoke and shoot the shyx and then we hear another car riding past and it's a breaking news dam "Another nigga got murdered by the police" that's how real it is. The crazy thing don't even realize that ni99a is like Frankenstein, a thing that was put together by a mad people, and this thing doesn't have its own language, it's own mind it's own family lineage, it's own God. Their real name is Yisrael , but they are called ni99az.

[@-parttimeartist-7379]

I'll put it like this. Negro comes from the Latin word "Niger", which means black. In most kingdoms of old(Axum, Persia, Khazaria, etc.) it was understood that when one was classified as "black" they were either a slave or seen as uncultured or barbaric. It wasn't until the mid-19th century that the understanding changed into what it is today which is a descriptor of melanated peoples with curly/kinky hair, a dolicocephalic skull, big lips, and a lean to skinny body type. Nobody with any type of understanding or sense of culture refers to themselves as " black" or the N-word because in the simplest of terms it means ignorant. That's why Our grandparents(U.S.A), Afro-latinos, and certain African tribes don't identify with the term "black", negro, the N-word or the like. They still have the true understanding of what it means

[@switzjon8405]

isn't it amazing how any other race can be proud of their existence? But we in the diaspora seem to accept the fact we're considered a "cursed" or bottom tier human group? We must be more elevated than we think for the world to tell us We are not to have joy of our being.

Oshay, that was indeed a great argument at 20:00. I honestly never consider that one. Indeed they have to know, when some say we don’t know. They do know why Blacks are in the Americas (the new world), and they do know those names you’ve mentioned. So they’re frontin’. You kept it real! But Babaluka also gave a real perspective as an immigrant from the African continent. Agaba addressed the inferiority complex of self sabotage, which is a real thing as well. This was a fruitful conversation. This is build and destroy.

"Woke"? did you seriously say "woke"? Talking about racism is something Black people do but what is woke about it? Woke means become aware and it doesn't have to be about anything specific. On a channel like this, it's sad to see someone misuse that term and turn it into something else. I actually agree with you. But I'm 100 percent against using the term "woke" as some left wing identifier of a certain type of politics. I do think Black people should focus on Black people issues and not "racism" so much.

[@OsiAleogena]

First of all I think its unintelligent (not traumatic or racist or any emotional term) for anyone, black or white to use that word, in any context. However on this issue of AAs trying to act like Africans don't understand slavery and modern Africans didn't experience slave trade, modern AAs also didn't experience shit. On generational trauma, our villages were raided, our ancestors massacred, our kids, wives, brothers and fathers were ripped from our villages and families and put on ships never to be seen again and then further colonised by these same people. So if we want to compete on generational trauma Africans also have our unique experience. So please skip the victim Olympics.
