[@hinatashimeluv7464]

Personally as a black person with relatives that lived through segregation and that sort of thing, I don't think anyone should say the N word. It's not empowering. I feel like that we keep ourselves down when use it. You'll never see another group use their derogatory names as term of endearment. But hey I'm not going to tell another adult what to say.

[@mikhailabunidal9146]

It's the most fugly word in the English language (i.e. the N word )and it's dehumanizing asf

[@TruthTellerTV]

The word was never about “empowerment”. Anyone who tells you that trash is lying, and the explanation makes no sense. The use of the word has morphed into something else entirely today. White people shouldn’t say it because it was never for them and only used as a racial epithet. Black people don’t use it as “empowerment”, it’s just another slang word today (obviously for black man), that white people still aren’t “allowed” to say because of their usage history.

[@rileydsquid8412]

Yeah, that's exactly how I feel. I don't know why they use with each other. It doesn't make sense, it's stupid.

+Zayd Shakur Yeah I agree fully with white's NEVER using the N word...however, southern music actually came from Irish and Scottish immigrants...I love blues and Jimi Hendrix is one of my favorite guitarists, but stringed instruments originated from European immigrants ...modern rock combined African rhythms and beats with folk STRINGED instruments from Europe which is a beautiful thing because we all have great sounds that we combined to make AMERICAN music!

[@BettyBonkers]

I've been watching videos on the N-word all day (don't judge me) and like he said it doesn't fly in the South. I think it flies in other places because they don't have the same history. I think V-nasty is from Oakland or somewhere around that area and its a really diverse area where everybody uses it because its part of the culture. People elsewhere haven't grown up with confederate flags and police chiefs that set dogs on marchers and that's cool for them, but if they're marketing to a national audience they need to be aware.

[@jamieldn]

No. People like "V nasty" (really hope that's nothing to do with the condition of her vag) say illiterate shit like that bc they need education. Go listen to her interview with djvlad.....she can't string two words together to save her life! And ppl want to take cues from a simpleton like that.

The only thing that bothers me is that it's socially unacceptable for white people to use the "n" word regardless of context. Of course it's wrong to use that word in a hateful fashion, but also context is important.

Adrian Jovic I agree

[@yinyang4558]

Adrian Jovic right cause if white people cant say then nobody can right aha

[@caesar9848]

I didn't say that. It's just a word that really shouldn't be thrown around by anyone of today. No one today (at least in the U.S) has felt the actual pain of slavery. Just because there are people of the same race doesn't excuse them of doing so. And really there is no other word that is separated by race that is as sensitive as the "N" word. if there is enlighten me

[@yinyang4558]

Adrian Jovic again if a white person can't say it then noone can? Right? That's how yall think and see it. They use the word as a term of endearment like the word bro. Considering that white people used it as a racist slur too discriminate and exercise hate against a race cause of the color of their skin for 300 years+. So yeah white people shouldn't say it. non black people have no right to say it.

[@caesar9848]

That's fine if you think that way, btw if you are Asian, (im just assuming because of your name) or not black, you have no right to say it, dont even pretend to be able too. Black people would still kick your ass if you said it. I will never say the word because I have respect.

You just put it such real context, that I wish everyone could hear what you said. Thanks for all you're doing in the industry! Oh, and by the way, when I asked her what fuck meant, she just said 'never let me hear you say that again' and shooed me out to play. I understood very well.

[@rileydsquid8412]

Thankfully we aren't in that time anymore.

[@MistaRashad1984]

Agreed. Being from the first confederate state of the deep south, it is something that is accepted amongst us because of the struggle that our ancestors endured. We frown when other races use it because they don't share the same pain. The word was a lemon that was meant to be a derrogative, but over time has manifested into lemonade showing love for our fellow brother (in most cases) from the same trials and tribulations we've shared for over 450 years. Yelawolf knows his shit. Much respect.

[@bensullivan5562]

I'm a big rap fan, but it's either everyone can say it or no one does. Just causes division in itself when only certain people can use a particular word.

@@coreyjohnston9195 Are you trying to say that rock music wasn't created by black people?? You don't know what you're talking about. Howlin Wolf, Muddy Waters, Blind Lemon Jefferson, Bo Diddley, and many others were at the forefront of Blues from which Rock and Roll was birthed, not to mention early Rock and Roll pioneers like Chuck Berry and Little Richard. Know your history.

I think that words can lose or change their meaning, what really matters is the intention you have behind what you're saying. And the way it's going I think that the overuse of the word Nigga will make it softer with time. In 50 years the younger generation won't even know what nigga meant, it'll be like saying "homie".

[@theripper1222]

Funny he says this as his boss (Eminem) has said it on stage with Dre and Royce.

[@swipa6042]

Considering the Royce beef I'm guessing he forgot to add "in public"

[@zanyZ480]

Your tripping homeboy the word nigga is a terrible word for any man or woman to use imma black man and feel all black men and women need to quit saying it if mlk jr or malcome heard any black person using it they would be angered because they didn't and died to be treated like an equal person not a field or house nigga and best believe there is no difference the a and er at the end all folks in the south say it with an a at the end

[@filliphulles2867]

Worst thing to happen to humans was learning how to speak and put meaning behind words. It's helped in advancing life, but the way humans communicate now is crazy. Think about it. It's been called a racist term towards dark skinned people aka African Americans. Why would that race use it among themselves? Then you add the a at the end to change it from a racist term to "bro" or "homie" and nobody can use it but your race. If any other race says it, the one race that it supposedly is defined around flips shit. Not trying to stir anything. We need to as people be able to discuss things just for the sake of discussing them. That's how we solve problems and come together as people without violence or conflict. This world now is just beyond judgemental and it seems rare to be able to just evaluate things on every level. The only way we can all make this world work is to stop jumping the gun when a controversial action occurs. And what if a white person listens to rap and they like it. The rapper says the n word in it. That person can't sing or rap it aloud because they're white? Black people are around so you gotta pause whenever the rapper says it. I think it's the black person that needs to lighten up. Some bad history and experiences can't always be the reference for why a certain race's culture is the way it is. You gotta break out of that shit. Like slavery. Don't forget or can't let it slide, but at some point you gotta move on with life. The past is the past. What you do today paints a picture tomorrow and it repeats everyday.

[@YoLo-ky8ig]

nah thats fuckin stupid if we didnt learn to speak I wouldn't have fucking computers

[@filliphulles2867]

Obviously, you're not getting what I said. That putting meaning behind our communication in certain ways has been used to control people. Manipulation of language, wording things a certain way, and so on. It's had benefits like you're saying how we have computers. But it's also had some negatives because people have used communication to cause corruption and put fear in others.

[@esjaybee5555]

VERY well said. Thank you. Someone is using some sense and seeing it clearly. Tho I tend to think that its not REALLY about the word but about a lot of other things. Power, ego, ownership and the like. I personally would like it if nobody said it. But I think since only black people are "allowed" to use the word is the only reason its still in use in the vernacular of black culture.
