Did you know the word "nigger" came from England back in 1786? Well, if you didn't, now you know. The word was then spelled, "n-e-g-e-r;" neger. The first human called a "nigger" was a white man. Crazy right? I know, but as black inferiority was at one time a near universal assumption in English-speaking lands, the word in some cases could be used without deliberate insult. Nowadays, the word is just thrown all over the place, and NOT in a good way. Honestly, I didn't know this word can be used in a good way, or even was used in a good way. What the hell!? [Smh]* Society is fucked up.
When our black people use this term around different nationalities, that gives them the right to say it too. No? Well, mind as well. I mean, if you called me a "nigga" or a "nigger" and I was white, I would've called you it back. "What's good mah nigga.?" C'MON SON!! I'm not your nigga. FAR from it. Nigger is used as a disparaging term for a Black person. "You can only be destroyed by believing that you really are what the white world calls a nigger" (James Baldwin) Mmm. Do that got you thinking yet? Got me thinking.. It is also used as a disparaging term for a member of any dark-skinned people. Shit, it's used as a disparaging term for a member of any socially, economically, or politically deprived group of people. Is there even a real law that say's you can't use this word? NOPE! They don't care about it. Kanye said it best, "George Bush doesn't care about black people." Too bad he's not in office anymore [lmao]* C'mon Obama, hook us up.!
Well, I'm off this! Maybe all of society would start thinking. Especially, us "black folk."
