I agree with MERCILESZ. The word is a sacred formation from the beginnings of civilizement. As for its “profane” use among whites, I personally think that as a sacred word it should be restricted. I think its right for “whites” to feel its off limits. People shouldnt use words they dont understand.

Imagine, at one time people thought tomatos were poisonous and water bathing would be detrimental! And this is AFTER it had already been established in the world that water is godly and tomatos were too. So you see how knowledge can be forgotten or totally inverted and misunderstood by the average person.

At one time less that 50 years ago our ancestors were largely embarrassed to be associated with the African continent because of lies they were taught about their own people. “The N Word” is the same thing; one of our most revered words retaught to us to be a slur. What a head game.

My name is Dani Atkins and I am one of 4 surviving children of Ronald Edward Atkins and Clancyna Marie Atkins. On January 26, 2008 my father was killed in a tragic car accident that took place only 2 minutes away from my home. My parents had been married for 30 years at the time of the accident without separation. As I have been assisting my mother with putting together various lawsuits and claims against several different persons, insurance companies, and even the Los Angeles Police Department regarding several acts of negligence and dishonor surrounding my fathers death, I have come across a disturbing piece of information that I, being a 24 year old African American person am appauled. My father having been born on April 9, 1955, has a birth certificate that identifies his color and race as being “NEGRO.” My grandmother, Eloise Marie Harrison having been born on April 4, 1933 has a birth certificate that identifies her color and race as being “NEGRO”. My mother, who is still alive, Clancyna Marie Atkins born on September 4, 1956 has a birth certificate that identifies her color and race as being “NEGRO” as well. And I am quite sure there are thousands if not milliions of other African American people dead or alive who have been identified on paper at birth as being “NEGRO” I am absolutely disgusted that the United States of America even in 2009 have not made an attempt to make right this defamation of character in administering all new birth certificates to those who have died as well as those still living to identify these HUMAN PEOPLE with dignity and respect. I am passionately committed to make my fathers name wholly reflect the honorable father, husband, and man that he was and the fact that his life was not even given an opportunity to start before he was branded on United States of America paper as being a “NEGRO” is a disgrace and a shame on America.

Mercilesz, Kris truthfully dismantled the Juice Crew by himself in many live battles and shows. Everybody knew that he was really speaking to Shan, Shante and Marley, but he would call out the Juice Crew. Kane, Craig G, Masta Ace or G Rap never shot back at him. Kane eventually went on to write Shante’s Have A Nice Day, which dissed BDP, but that was it. You dont let one man, diss a whole crew of heavy hitters like that, regardless of whether he called them by name or not. BDP Crew is the Don!!!! This is Big Kris with a hit listen me non miss!!! Also, note that Krs is the ONLY one of that era who’s lyrical ability significantly increased over the years to wear he was better then how he started. He was crappin on mad MC’s between 92-97. He ripped many crews. But lets keep it real, Kane was of the Juice Crew, arguably the dopest lyracist in the group, and you got Kris dissing the Juice Crew….I’ll let you tell it…

bottomline krsone is a blessing. at the end of the day you may not care for your mailcarrier but if the light bill has you address, and your name on it, you better go on and receive it pay that joker and keep the lights on. there is an old proverb that speaks of an old wiseman that by his wisdom saved a city; but no one remembered who the wiseman was. whether or not to use the word “nigga” can be debated till the Lord returns. what i thought was profound was after all of kris’ thoughts on the arguement he was like look out of respect to our forefathers why don’t we just not use it. i may be able to call my man “my nigga” with a clear conscience; but if it offends my brother it is love and honor shown if i don’t. krsone is arguably one of the most relevant voices of our time. don’t get it twisted. the one thing that offends most about him is what i beleive to be his greatest asset. his passion for the truth and his “stand on your toes and tell you so!” stance. and when he comes into a greater understanding, or even the place where what he thought to be the truth ends up being error he learns readjusts and keeps it pushing. the “Teacher” remains teachable. he also remains human. my question to all the naysayers is do you hate the personality or the principles he stands for. in an age where anything goes we need more watchmen like him ringing the alarm everytime some threat rises its head. if folks are going to hate you let it be for pursuing life, love, community, peace, knowledge, understanding, God. but know this the truth is not subjective to your personal “feelings”, the truth draws a line, it separates, it offends. which side are you on.

My theory on the use of nigger/nigga by Blacks…
White slaveowner calls slaves nigger/nigga (with intended disrespect). Black “house Negroes” – viewing themselves as above the average “field Negroes” – seek to emulate the slaveowners. The Negroes seeking to align themselves with the slaveowners adopt the ways of their oppressors. Thus, your 1st instances of Blacks calling Blacks nigger/nigga.
Today the closest things to house Negroes appear to be the hip-hop rappers.

Wow! I am still wozzy from someone actually mentioning Afrika Bambatta in an interview.
KRS-ONE, has earned the right to talk about whatever… I have nothing but LOVE for this brother.

“Chuck D is totally incorrect by saying Nigger is not an african word. NGR is the ankh formation which comes out of nubia and forms all of the tying together words in the “western world”.”
^^^^^^^^^^^^

The word Nigger has nothing to do with Africa; our people wasn’t called nigger by slaveholders and ‘haters’ because they were well learned egyptologist. LOL!

I love most people called nigga; but don’t love the word nigga. To me it’s a curse word; describing a cursed people. We have to break the curse and break the use of the word. Or at least acknowledge it for what it is.

peace
