Due to recent post and extreme use of the word I thought that I would make this post. I wrote a novel called "I'm not a n*gga", that explained the history of the word and how it has evolved and the power that it has had on our people. Well the overall purpose of that novel (really short story) was to tell why we shouldn't refer to each other as n*ggas and how it is hypocritical to get mad at another race for using it when you use it everyday.
Everybody who knows me knows that I can't stand the word (just ask Wizdom and FAMU_first) I try to protest when ever I hear somebody using it but I find that I am often alone in my thinking and to many people it has just become another word, and it is often too energy consuming. I think there was a post like this before but, HOW DO Y'ALL FEEL ABOUT THE WORD N*GGA!

HU_intellect, yet you've posted up another good topic on here. we've had some great discussion on this famous word "ni**a/ni**er. but truthfully, i don't ever use this word. even when i feel like its comin to the tip of my mouth, i'll stop myself, b/c ill suddenly realize and ask myself..would my ancestors want me sayin this word? nowadays, it seems like the only reason most black peeps say it is b/c others do. its all in the songs we listen to everyday. it has become part of the norm, and it seems like if u dont use the word you're not sharing that "bond" with our fellow black people. but no, i refuse to use a word that was used to oppress us...for what?? you can just as easily share a bond with your black associates w/out using the word. so y cant we stop usin it yall?
