NIGGER or NIGGA, If your ancestors werenāt called this in a attempt to degrade or humiliateĀ them because of their skin color donāt call meĀ It. If your ancestors werenāt burned alive, lynched and discriminated against because of their skin color, donāt call meĀ It. If your ancestors werenāt sexually assaulted and then forced to give away their offspring for sale, donāt call meĀ It. If your skin is like mine please respect my request when I say, donāt call meĀ It.
Last night, while playing Call Of Duty a young white kid used the word nigger so much I had to ask him to chill. I told him that it was offensive to me and that younger kids were in the lobby with us. He called me, āone of them old niggas.ā As we continued to play he began to school me on the word nigger. He explained to me that he wasnāt using it hatefully and that it just meant, friend or homeboy. āAs long as you donāt use the āERā at the end itās no big deal. He went on to tell me that he uses it at school around his black friends and that, āthey donāt mind.ā
I use to say the word āniggaā a lot when I was younger. (Even more during my 10 years of incarceration.) I used it because the mother fuckers I looked up to and wanted to be like used it, but there were several unwritten rules about the word that my contemporaries and I heeded. We wouldā¦
Never utter āItā in the presence of an elder.
Never use āItā in mixed company.
Respect kin folkās request to not be called āItā.
When other races call you, āItā Strike First. Your life is in danger.
Kin Folk that allow other races to use āItā in their presence without repercussion are coons.
And just like the pimps, drug dealers and hustlers I emulated, I now realize that young White, Asian and non black Hispanic kids worship masculine Foundational Black Americans. I get it! We are the cockiest mother fuckers walking this planet. Everything about us they idolize. Our natural stride, our speech and mannerism. The way the Sun strengthens our bodiesā¦ god dammit I get It!
In America we were led to believe that the worst thing you can call a person with melanated skin is a Nigger. On the opposite side of that coin itās Cracker for
whites, but cracker is more of Ole southern American ethnic slur. It doesnāt really have that slap to it when you leave the country. Those white people on the continent of Asia probably have no idea that the word Cracker is suppose to be an insultā¦ But trust and believe the word nigger, even over there still hits home.
To be honest with you the phrase, āMy Niggaā flows off the tongue so smoothly, I get it. Itās spoken so casually these days that I propose we incorporate more ethnic slurs into the āIt just means Friend or Homieā program.
In my online game playing experience the top 3 racial offenders of calling Foundational Black Americans nigger are Mexicans, Whites and Asians.
So, for my less melanated brothers instead of, āMy Niggaā Iāve stumbled upon 12 new terms of endearment that we should substitute for āItā in 2022.
I realize that most of these terms were once deemed offensive, but as of 2022 they just meanĀ friendĀ orĀ homie. So I humbly reach out to my White, Mexican and Asian family. Help my readers and I by selecting a 2022Ā slurĀ term of endearment that we can use towards you to pay respect to your ancestors.
