Why do rappers use that word?

[Karna]

I know it's a 100% stupid question but why do rappers use the nword when it's by origin a bad word to downplay a part of species?how come they adopted it like that?

"Downplay if speciesv"

Lelelelele

 

[Angelofchaos179]

The word could mean alot of things such as a homie and sht so you never know.

 

[Funky Tiger]

if black people use it it stands for "buddy" and stuff, apparently its not the same for others.

 

[Bad Touch Yakushi]

Hear whatever crap you like, it's a filler word used by rappers. Doesn't even mean anything to us other than 'we're black if you hadn't realised'

then people thought they were cool by channelling and pretending to be rap artists so here we are

 

[Meee]

Em don't U_U

 

[Black Mamba]

******s say ***** cuz they're ******s simple as that.

I don't know? Y do their pants sag when they know that in prison (which a lot of them claim to have been in) it is an invitation to buttsex :sdo:

My bad, not all rappers but the African American ones who do.

People would leave prison being use to the lifestyle of sagging their pants. Younger kids would be see people out of prison who are sagging their pants and be like: "Yo, they're hard! They went and made it through prison! Let's start sagging like them!"

When in reality the people leaving prison and still sagging were someone's bitch.

The amount of privilege in this thread alone is hilarious. :bdpf:


Your lack of understanding does not make something stupid or illogical. Do some more research.

The same reason why every song nowadays has something to do with ***. ignorance

 

[Punk Hazard]

Words have the meaning we give it. It was considered a bad word used negatively, but then people decided to make it positive so now it is. It's no longer a negative word.

So Michael Eric Dyson, Tavis Smiley, and Cornell West are ignorant? Wow, get your head out of your ass just because you don't understand why someone does something doesn't make them ignorant it makes YOU ignorant, but i'm guessing the irony is probably lost on you.

I know that but I didn't want to be crucified for something that may be obvious to some. The second part of your post, you know that not everyone, I am covering my bases just in case someone decides to take a jab.

The N word? Norman? Norma? Norma and Norman? Rappers are saying my and my Mother's name?

I suppose they must, what this generation of youth says, ship us together I suppose. That's very cute and flattering, but I hope they are not singing about us in an extremely vulgar way. The carnal life between Mother and I is quite private and I feel should be respected.

It's me and my mothers name, not my and my.
Also, could you just stop spamming threads? It's annoying, no one cares about you.

OT: What Riker said.

I don't know any of them and i could care less. Did I say they were ignorant individuals? I said using the word in songs is ignorant.

And i Google them. I bet they wouldn't like someone of a different race (white) saying that word? Or would they. It is a double standard on who can use the n word. If the word has no negative meaning to it or history. Then why is racist if someone of non African decedent saying it? Like I said saying a word with a negative meaning then crying when someone calls you that same word is ignorant. You don't use a word that was used to oppress a race in songs to express themselves or call themselves that. It makes no sense at all.

It is like a middle eastern person saying I am a terrorist. It has no positive meaning at all.

Thank you for correcting my poor grammar. Sometimes I get confused regarding things, especially grammar, and end up second guessing myself. Mother told me this was something I have always experienced ever since I was young. I will use this new found knowledge and make my future sentences better. I will provide you with a like and reputation.

I am sorry, but I do not understand about your question regarding spamming. I have not been spamming at all. My posts are always on topic. I will admit my post regarding this topic was seemingly wrong as I look at what others were posting. I assumed poorly. Sorry if this mistake annoyed you, my friend.

As for no one caring for me, that would be incorrect. Mother cares for me, as does my Brother and Emma, and I've made several friends in this lovely community.

Thank you for your comment and I also agree with Mr. Riker.

You obviously don't know it's real origin. The word comes from Latin for black. Before people called Africans, black. The word as a slur actually came from the origin meaning black. That's why black in most languages based on latin still is similar negro=black in Spanish, Nero=black in Italian, niger=black in latin.
