The Nigga Word?
    #26964271 - 10/01/20 04:46 PM (3 years, 4 months ago)

Why do black people still say the.. n word even though it originated from white people calling black slaves the same n word??
Isn't that kinda backwards and weird? Why keep that word popular and frequently used towards friends and pretty much everyone? It doesn't make sense to me.

Words change meaning over time. It's pretty standard. Another extreme example would be the word "f**got," which used to mean a bundle of sticks that was used for sacrificial burnings way back in the day. Some of the people that were burned back during that time were homosexuals, as punishment for their homosexuality. It's where the word "flaming f**got" comes from. Now you can see how words change meaning over time.

N****r was used by white people to assert superiority over black people in early America, but now it is primarily used by black people to show kinship with other black people. It carries a different meaning now, and it matters who uses it and in what context.

Why are you asking questions in hope of finding a reason to be racist?

Looking for a reason to be a pos is a common thing. Excusing your own misgivings for a reason? Everyone looks for that.

You can say the N word too, you can go to the hood and demonstrate  how much you like hip hop culture by calling everyone nigga, they will get a kick out of it

dude it's just a question that I have had for a while. I get it now. Meanings change.
I still don't get why they kept the word despite it's brutal past meaning instead of just making a new word or something.

Because making it their own took the power out of the word.

What are you taking back, the time you were so racist that black people called you names?

Thats not on equal footing.

Seemed like a legit question to me as well, I've always had some cognitive dissonance on that.

How dare you accuse me of being racist? You literally have a black friend no one can see. I have never even heard anyone even use the word honky in real life. I kind of like it though. I'm pretty thick skinned. No has ever called me "whitey" either.

Lol that was a crazy scene in that movie. For those that haven't seen that, Bruce Willis (in Die Hard 3) has to go to a street corner in Harlem and wear a sign that says "I hate n-words" because the villain told him if he didn't he'd blow up a school

Predictably some black dudes see him and get ready to open a can of whip ass on him before Samuel L. Jackson saves Willis from getting killed

Cunt

To answer your original question. It’s about claiming domain over a word. The word used to be solely directed at blacks to denegrate them. Then black people started using the word themselves in a positive, friendly way. Now black people have effectively taken total control of the word. That’s fairly empowering.
