Why Must We Call Our Handsome Black Men...

[ClassyWisdom08]

I try to set an example put usually people dont listen...No matter what I do or say people will still be disrespectful.

[P o e t i q R e i g n]

cosign w/ all of this...

i've neva been able 2 understand how a female could consciously refer to herself as a *****...

maaan...if i ever called a female a *****, i will NOT be sayin' it as a compliment or "term of endearment" :roll:

same wit "*****"...only time anyone'll eva catch me usin' it is if I'm quotin' someone else or really do feel someone is being a "*****" (ignorant)....& even then, i still don't like the word, period...so i try ta stay away from it altogether....

long as we keep the mentality around that these words r okay...& keep 'em so alive as a positive thing...we gonna keep strugglin' & not uniting like we should....

*coughs* I had a friend who had this thing with his girlfriend whereas shed come over and be like..."Im dat b*tch..." and hed say "Im dat n*gga..." and theyd kiss...They were both from the Chi, and I never dared to ask what they were talking about...

I suppose words are relative for everyone. Their meaning and their connotation can strike fear or...make you laugh. If I believe that saying "Whassup niggz?" is going to make someone uncomfortable, I wont...but its my slang, and amongst my group imma do whatever the f*ck I want. Cuz we are comfortable with it. Its not condescending, its actually just me and my boys meeting on a level that we can vibe at.

So you all can fuss about the word...imma go express my 1st amendment...damn I love being an American...

BTW, Id never call a Woman a ho, slut, or any of those aforementioned names. If I say them, its probably because Im speaking more truth that people care to acknowledge.

then plz explain the mentality behind this. why would u feel comfortable to use it against ur homies but would be highly pissed for a person of another race to use it? i f i were an *insert race/nationality* and i mistakenly called u a "N", thinking that u didnt mind to be referred to by this name, why would it be a big deal?
