Rihanna Called “De Niggabitch” by Dutch Magazine

lmao

fat joe and big pun get a pass for using the n-word



when white kids say that tho, my skin crawls

 

You're right. They nearly took JLO's head off for saying that shit in I'm real with JaRule.

 

Em took the safe road tho and I think more people respect him as a lyricist, because he's never had to say 'nigga' just to fit in with his fans.

as for JLo...i dunno. She was with puffy at the time and the ricans usually talk like that. Plus Pun and Joe were usin it so I guess she said fuck it.

they dont have the same history as we do with it, but they identify with us more than with white americans. They don't play that Caucasian everybody's white, euro shit. If you're not paper you're not in the club, homie.

 

Most definitely NOT, homey. Hispanics and Puerto Ricans especially will be the first to turn around call you a nigger if shit gets heated. They don't get a pass. Look how they treat "morenos" in their home countries. Ask yourself how come there were no blacks in Terror Squad?

 

Wow that's real kid. Never thought of that.

 

I never had that problem..maybe they're different in Philly

when things get heated anyones liable to say dumb shit they don't really mean, so bonk that

 

There is NO racial epithet in American society that has the juice or history of NIGGER.
None.

As others have stated, it's about people not learning this country's history.

I have an entire generation of my family who moved up North after they graduated from HS and HBCs because of the implications of that word.
Bad enough for a grown man to be called 'boy'.
But when a White man called you 'nigger' down SOuth in the 1950s/60s and even earlier, you had better have an escape route planned or get ready to literally fight for your life.

Beaner/dago/kike/Polack etc. just aren't on that level.

Watch some blaxploitation flicks from the '70s, the n-word is rarely ever used as a greeting or endearment term among friends. It almost always was a 'hate' word.

IMO that word was only used frequently in a subset of the Black community; usually from an uneducated subclass of African Americans. Primarily those who were frequently in and out of the criminal justice system.

But when groups like NWA blew up in the 1980s, the word became mainstream in a manner it had never been before in its history.

For some reason we the idiot consumer base embraced groups like NWA and the whole gangsta rap phenomenon as being 'true art', when basically all it was about was gangbangers celebrating in verse the 'glamorous life' of being a violent criminal.:smt017

'Nigger'/'Nigga' is out of control nowadays.

When did 'keeping it real' include using the n-word??

I love dudes like David Chappelle so I'm guilty as much as anyone else, even though I don't use the word IRL.

Chappelle and dozens of other AA artists don't need to use the n-word to be culturally relevant.

 

Yet you called me trash and trailer trash with no basis whatsoever - I call that hypocritical and pathetic. I would never call you the N word, but you stooped to the lowest of the low in a heart beat and numerous times - you should be ashamed of yourself.

 

God don't make 'trash'.:smt002

 

Fantastic post!

I just wanted to ask...what is the negative meaning behind "boy"?? I've never understood that.

 

During the times where racism was most high, "boy", used towards black people was a way to further weaken the black person's psyche. It's basically another of way of saying, "You're not my equal." Mind you, it's used towards black adults and that's the problem.

 

In a lot of places primarily down in the southern parts of America after slavery ended the terms "boy" and "girl" were used to demean black people especially elderly black people by considerably younger white people. Kind of a backward ass play on the whole "respect your elders" rule many in the south were raised with and prided themselves on in many regards. I've seen it in play a few time while growing up myself back when I lived in the south.

 

In post-slavery America, "boy" was a term to further degrade black men regardless of age... A black man could be 80 years old and still be called "boy". Generally, black men were talked down to as though they were incapable of comprehending. It may have also suggested that white men were our "fathers"...

 

Exactly as others have covered Sin, you could theoretically have some snotty nosed, wet behind the ears white kid referring to a middle aged black male in Southern society in terms of "boy"

Signifying that they don't even see that person as a "MAN" or worthy of being respected because of their assumed shortcomings of being black and by extension and assumption ignorant.

Hence a black man was supposed to respond yes suh! or yes mam and carry on.

Every facet of Southern society invoked it, white grandparents, parents and kids when referencing some grown black male during Jim Crow Era America (1876-1965)

Such as "that boy doesn't know his place" or "that boy needs to be taught a lesson", etc.

 

Well I can tell you're not an artist because that's like saying you don't need to curse to be funny but that's not true. There is a sort of authenticity to their lyrics that others don't have. Will Smith comes to mind as a rapper who took the "high road" who absolute sucks at rapping.
I personally don't know the "it" factor that makes a lot of these artist better than others but I won't pretend that I know the formula like some of you suppose.
And again certain words don't have the historical impact as the n-word but it doesn't stop people from understanding the context.
Simply to me if you don't like it then don't use it but please don't be one of those soccer moms who don't want anyone to use it at all because you don't like it.
And before anyone of you dummies say "well what if some racist white person calls you that is it ok"
I'll keep screaming context until you geniuses get it.

 

Trailer trash is a racial insult? Thought it was a class insult since white people of higher social status call lower social status whites trailer trash as well. Black people don't use the n-word as an insult.
I see right through you. You disgust me in every way possible.

 

A slur is a slur. Period.

 

So I guess Common, Wale, Eric B. and Rakim, KRS-One and a host of other rap acts aren't 'authentic'.

You've become a slave to a word, DK.

You really need to ask yourself of all words, why are you so wedded at the hip to THIS word??

There were hard ass,take-no-shit brothas who NEVER used the word.

Profanity is not the same as using a racial epithet.
You know that, DK.

Profanity is impolite.
Sexual/racial epithets are directed at a specific group and deliberately meant to demean and insult.

EDIT:

'Trailer trash' is another take on 'white trash', which IMO is maybe one of the most insulting things you can say to a White person.

Just saying.

 

Thanks guys, I had never understood why that was insulting. Glad I know now. I remember, years ago, one of our older comedians accidentally insulted Muhammad Ali when he used a line from his old comedy show. He meant nothing by it and was simply quoting the skit (in which the line was always directed at his white comedy partner) but the line was "I love the boy". Ali nearly beat the crap outta him on live TV, until it was all explained and cleared up. Yikes...awkward moment for sure. Anyway, like I said, I never understood why that was insulting....until right now.

 

Says a person who has never had to deal with slurs, fall back Ches you sound ignorant as hell.
