I merged these topics coz we had discussed this before above.

Honestly, most of us use the word to sound 'cool'. If our favourite rappers werent using it, we'd probably not use it. The really means nothing to us.

[That Bastard Crook]

The term "nigga" is a term for "Friend/Homeboy/Hip-hop head/G/Brother etc.
I call ALL my friends and a**ociates "nigga", whether black/white/coloured/asian!
If you go to Midrand theres mad Indian dudes who use the word.

I dont think it is a problem, unless you make it a problem.

I mean some black people(like Oprah) are offended by another black person calling them "Nigga". So of course some black people will be offended when a "white" person calls them "nigga"

Now the word "Nigger", now this means something different which will most definitely lead to a beatdown whatever race you are!

@ The word k****** - Never again!

This is the biggest load of bullshit alive in Hip-Hop today. How the f*** you gon' differentiate between nigga and nigger? They both pronounced exactly the same and people don't write the word down when they addressin' you wid it. What? You gon' be on some  "...did you just call me nigger?" And he replies "...nah man, I said nigga" "..Oh, aight cool then, just thought for a minute there you called me a nigger instead of a nigga"

I remember back in the day my mom used a stretch comb to soften my hair because there weren't any relaxer creams then and my sister would say that I have "k****** hare" because my hair was extremely coarse. She said it in such a way that I thought that was what you would call my type of hair, that there was no other word for it. I almost got the hinding of my life when I said it to my mother, she told me never to use that word again. As I grew up I read up alot about our culture and I still do. The problem "I think" is that we don't understand the meaning of these two words and where they come from. Sure most of us have watched slavery movies like Roots, Malcom X, etc but have we really done our reseach thoroughly? For me, its really hard not to get offended. What are we going to tell the generation to come about these two words? Are we going to let them think that its cool words one uses when calling their friends to show affection or are we going to teach them the history of these words and let them decide? I don't know guys, I seriously fear for the generation to come since we seem to be remixing everything including the true meaning of certain words and simply call it EVOLUTION!

sigh....

I propose a notion. In south africa le'ts replace the  world nigga with k****** and see how often people will actually be using that word.

In the words of Kat Williams....Please dont take "Nigga" away from us. lol

You just getting it twisted, I dont use it, I was just making an example, yes it is contriversial and bad, Im not disagreeing with that!

Yo snow-flake look putna I feel where you comin' from but yo, I been growin up with my White boy Niggaz since way back yo....& them niggaz know that Nigga is off topic. Like them niggaz wont even think twice about that shit...I mean look at Marshall Mathers, that White Boy is dope of the mi but duke aint never ever ever let that shit slip yo. I aint comin at you in any way at all.
The word has lost that stigma it had behind coz most cats nowadays just view it as a term of endearement coz like The Eses and the Cheves use it now and the Portaricans coz them niggaz also went through that shit y'know. I figure its only used by races that went through that rough shit. For instance my Indian niggaz I call em Terrorists straight up and down & and when they holla nigga, it dont even move me. Its kinda like dont be tryina slurrs if you havent been there yourself and got the stripes to be called that your self.

Nah man. That nigger pronounciation has to really roll off ya tounge, like nigerrr. Say it with me, niggerrrr, Like them old slave master with the beard and hat British peeps, NIGGER........ it sounds better than "nig" or "nigga" or "nyucca" or "nyug" or "negga" or the dirty south "nhegguh" or even or own South African "ma'neegah" and "le'neegah".

The 'K' word had to have been the stupidest racial slur ever.
According to MY knowledge and hard research (An old dictionary )
The 'k' word is of Arab origins, it was used by Arabian slave traders to address non believers, which were black obviously......
As far as I know, most Arabs follow the Islam religion

So when Sir Lancelot came through calling niggerrrrrs Kaff*rs he was just being a dumb a** "nigga".

[Z-DIGITAL]

Coz mayn its just like Nigga. It was a term that Americans were hurling around to try to demean them or bring them down as a culture in a condescending way just coz of 9/11 but now just like word Nigga was used by other niggaz to niggaz, I call my Indian niggaz Terrorist coz sooner or later its gonna lose that stigma that in came in with. The first I heard Terrorist call each other Terrrorist was like 2 year after 9/11 and them niggaz was my boyz so like since then man its just been like Nigga Terrorist.....and to me I prefer terrorist over Charo or Koolie yuhmean coz that koolie shit man I don't even dig bra its still too heavy for me kinda like k****** is to Nigga.
I hope it makes sense hommee.
