Verbally saying the word out of habit in a conversation amongst your peers that you're familiar with is much different than coming on an internet forum and consciously typing it amongst users that you believe to be white or non-black. You claim to be a college-educated guy. So why not act like that? If you claim to be educated, you should know better. Why are you here to purposely dumb down yourself to cater to people that you claim are white by portraying yourself as the stereotypical black guy forcefully dropping the N word in your dialog when it isn't needed?
That's nice to know. I am a registered Democrat, and my last vote was for Bernie Sanders.
There is no need for me to beat up on a dead horse. The news media does enough of that beating up on Trump and the Republicans for the past 8yrs. Republicans are already the villains, and they pretty much embrace their role as the political villain, especially when it comes to black social injustice. Second, African-Americans do not overwhelmingly support Republicans, so it's pretty much a waste to talk about a party that African-Americans do not vote for in large numbers to begin with.
1) I talk down on the Democrats because they pander to us every four years and pose to us as being the party that is for African-Americans. 2) We continuously vote Democrat throughout the political spectrum and still see no improvement with African-Americans as the wealth gap only gets wider, where we are further hitting the bottom and basically being a permanent underclass as a collective.
I don't have to chastise what is already known. Black people already know Republicans are wolves. We can all see their fangs from a mile away. Black people for the most part are already aware of the Republicans, including Black republicans. I think most black people know if they get close to the Republicans, they either consciously or subconsciously know to have some form of protection when dealing with those wolves. I'm not going to waste my time talking about Republicans when African-Americans already know the disclaimer around them. It's the democrats that my people are blind to that need the precaution. For black people to become political savvy, we must become aware of the Democrat that most of us lay in bed with and must encourage ourselves to learn to leverage our political power.
You've already more than twice equated colloquial language to intelligence, which is asinine in several ways. If u feel dumb saying n1gga, then you don't say it...I have no such insecurities about my intelligence. U can project all u want lil n1gga
It's also a nonsensical argument to, again, act like disuading against one without the other, isn't an endorsement for the other in a 2-party system. Like what would be the outcome of this 'leveraging'...leveraging by doing what exactly when the outcome is still going to be either one of the 2 sides u claim don't really have Black people's best interest in mind?
This is the try-hardism that I've alluded to when it comes to you. Being African-American does not equate to using language that once denigrated my people. It is a derogatory term no matter how much pop culture allows such a black subculture term to be pervasive in our artform. So yes, if you're an intelligent person, you wouldn't be trying to normalize this term. Do you see some of Black America's brightest such as Cornel West, Ben Carson, and Henry Louis Gates running around using that term? You are simply mimicking the worst of African-American culture to give off a "black" perception to users on this website. You are a college educate guy but you come up here and choose to perpetuate the low end of African-American culture. If this is not cosplaying, then I don't know what is.
Every election cycle with the black vote is like a given for the Democrats, and that must change if we want to be taken serious politically. I'm saying to not vote and to at least hold your vote until these parties fight to EARN our vote, mainly Democrats. Criticizing the democrats is not an endorsement of Republicans either. It's simply a criticism of Democrats.It's like saying men who criticize relationships with women are endorsing the alternative of homosexual relationships. It's such a huge logic leap.
It seems that you want me to talk down on Republicans. There's no need for me to talk down on Republicans. African-Americans pretty much already have a negative disposition about Republicans. And hell, even if my criticism of Democrats leads to a few black people to vote Republican, then so what? We must show these parties that we aren't a monolith. Part of leveraging our vote is letting Democrats, who hold our vote, know that they can lose some of their African-American voting base to the Republican or to any other party if they (the Democrats) do right for their black constituents. We are not here to play the lesser of two evil games any longer, which is why we are now in the underclass getting very little to nothing in return for our vote. It's not a game that is beneficial in the long run to our collective. We need to let all parties, mainly the Democrats know, that they need to fight for our vote and respect our vote when elected.
it's try-hard for u because u have a problem with the word and allow it to evoke control over u...i suffer from no such things, and yes my ancestors were slaves too. I've laughed at white people in their face calling me it and watched how stupid their faces changed as what they wanted to affect me didn't. U have no idea of true power and control, which is why you're leading into a Pac thread with politics, which obviously consumes ur brain--clearly so, when u been propagandaing this whole time. I don't have to mimick anything because I don't consider it "worst" of African American culture. Again, it's bad to u, so u shouldn't say it...words are meaningless without intent.
n1gga said Ben Carson is of our brightest
U can "we" "us" all u want...i hope u know 'nobody believes you'...nor does it really matter to me...
u'd be worse if u were actually Black, which you're not. I didn't ask u to talk down against Republicans only...u see, these are the lil giveaways that u don't get ur kind does. Almost always, politics/societal change inherently moves too slow to move the needle for the masses, which is why my people need to be taught financial literacy and economic freedom over who tf to vote or work for.
If someone doesn't think either side of a coin is biased, then they don't flip it...it's that simple, and they'd say the coin is loaded.
..they don't choose whichever they deem worse and only talk down about that side, which is inherently support of the other side.
So u should be talking down on the political system (i.e., coin)...not either side. So how are Republicans EARNING the Black vote, since u don't mind when Blacks vote that way?
Your bullsh1t doesn't work when u encounter someone smarter than u, who rip ur lack of consistent logic apart like it's a wet paper bag...with scissors in my hand...shout out to RZA...
Your ancestors aren't connected to the N word. In your Jamaican household and culture, the N word is not thrown around. The word is a byproduct of African-American slavery and has seeped it's way into African-American subculture. This is where the disconnect comes in. You do not have the same pain and connection to the word the way that my ancestors do.
In case you are unaware, Ben Carson is a pioneering neurosurgeon. He is Carson gained prominence as a pioneering neurosurgeon. His most notable achievement was separating conjoined twins and made great contributions to varying techniques in brain surgery. So yes, he is among one of the brightest within the African-American community. Anyone who denies Ben's Carson's brilliance is either naive or a subscriber to anti-blackness.
If you didn't believe I was black, you wouldn't be repeatedly calling me the N word. Again, you are the one whose blackness is in question because you're taking every opportunity to use the word like a white kid given an N word pass that wants to be down so bad.
Your people root back to Jamaica. What my people need in Black America is reparations. That does not happen without politics.
This is why I said we should hold our votes from all parties until these parties give us a reason to vote for them.
Again. this is a fallacy and logic gap. Pointing out flaws in Domino's Pizza pies is not an endorsement of Papa John's Pizza or Pizza Hut.
My main message here is to not vote because both parties are not for us. How did you miss that? African-Americans think the Democrats are their designated party and white liberals continue to push that. This is why I have to put extra emphasis and speak on your Democrat friends due to the chokehold that they have Black America in mentally.
From your lack of reasoning, way of logic, and uneducated comments, and your attempt to appeal to the lowest common denominator, I've surmised that you aren't an intelligent person whatsoever. In addition, when you have to brag that you're smart or know more than someone, it means you're insecure. This entire conversation you've been trying to prove how "smart" you are bragging about accolades. These are all signs of a deep rooted inferiority complex.
"Asking for help," you say?Don't politicians ask us for help every four years before an election cycle?
Lmfao more idiocy... The word is rooted in Niger, which is African. It connects anyone who's Black to the word, specifically anyone who's Black in America since this is where it's used against Black people as an insult.
Why do u think Black Americans rightfully took the word and made it much less powerful? U call it 'worst' and uneducated because you aren't Black and that's not what we see when we use the word. U wouldn't understand because you're not like us. Taking the pain away or much lessening it of the word, is the power and control I mention u not having. Clearly I'm right. And u don't know sh1t about Jamaican households. n1gga is most definitely thrown around and been thrown around...in the 70s-early 90s, it was Neaga...u ignoramuses love speaking on things u don't know.
Black people don't need reparations in the country...reparations hand u money, doesn't show u how to keep or make money. Idiocy like I said. n1gga tryna preach handouts, instead of financial literacy and economic freedom. Reason number 6837378 why we know u ain't Black.
Your main message wasn't 'not to vote' or else u would've came out saying that. U got backed into that corner of having no choice but to say so, while u still talked only about one side and not the system. Ur speaking out both sides of ur mouth because you're a fraud. n1gga says reparations don't happen without politics, then right after saying his point is telling us not to vote
n1gga what? Make it make sense. Also silly a$s pizza analogy...wasn't even a good try. There aren't only two pizza companies genius, which is why talking down on Dominos isn't an inherent support of pizza hut. Again, it's a SYSTEMATIC problem, not one about a specific side.
I toted my superior intelligence because u were making references to me being uneducated were u not or u gonna lie and say I just proactively did it? And basing it off the words that I use instead of the logic behind it, which is ironically illogical
The origin of the word is a non-sequitur. It is a word used by colonizers as a pejorative to denigrate my people. Point blank period. Trying to "reclaim" this word is pure ignorance.
If the word had no meaning, hip hop and Black America would all be letting white people use the word with us but we don't. African Americans police the word because of the pain connected to it within our lineage, something you aren't familiar with.
But knowing how you cosplay as an African-American and use the word all over a website to people that you claim are non-black, you are probably the token immigrant black guy that uses the N word on all people. Being that you use the word with no discretion or policing, I'm sure you use the word around white people, and white people in return will call you the N word.Once you let Caucasians and others call you the N word, a guy like you will then allow other to call you all types of derogatory slurs being the "black friend."
Nonsensical takes like this is why the delineation movement in Black America has grown legs. Calling the money OWED to African-Americans for the free labor that we (my people) used to build this country for immigrants like you to flee to is why we are OWED money. Money owed is not a handout. It is a claim for the descendants of my ancestors that fought and bled on this land and got nothing for it. No one in America who isn't a sambo or anti-black would oppose reparation. Now that I know where you stand, I can rightfully place you in the Uncle Tom category.
Yes, you moron. Unless, African-Americans get black only policies and or reparations, we should hold our vote and force these politicians to talk about my people's justice claims of restorative justice through reparations or give us black only, black first policies. My people didn't immigrate here like your people. We are a special, designated class of people with a unique history to this nation, being among the oldest ethnic groups to build in this nation before it was founded. When politicians address us, we need them to address us with exclusivity as how they do the Native Americans. So correction, YOU ARE NOT LIKE US.
Again, look at how idiotic you continue to prove yourself to be. The same way there aren't only two pizza chains, there aren't only two political parties. We have the Green party and the Libertarian Party as well.
That's when I told u I'm wayyyyy smarter than u, then proceeded to demonstrate this post after post, got u contradicting urself about ur intentions of bringing up politics. Just stay getting logically chopped up
Again, you are not intelligent. You are insecure. Intelligent people don't brag about being intelligent, the same way crazy people don't run around on the street saying, "I'm crazy," You are an idiot who doesn't even know how to use the internet to learn who Ben Carson is. You got your self-esteem from a piece of paper called a degree from the white people you condemn, and you now somehow think you are enlightened. You are a pretentious scum insecure in all of your 5'4 stature.
No one said anything about 'reclaiming'...U can't read, I didn't say the word had no meaning either. U were completely wrong about Jamaican usage of the word and don't want to admit your ignorance about it. African Americans, nor any other Black people let white people use the word...
And yes, it took power from it--clearly so, which is why it's a part of the colloquial use.
Again, learn to read...no one said the money wasn't OWED or deserved...and never opposed it. I mentioned that reparations doesn't show u how to keep the money, while financial literacy does...something u know nothing about. How many things are u gonna make up?
n1gga said like they address the Native Americans...lmaooo @ u thinking that they've done anything for Native Americans...u can kick all the separatist talk u want...it has zero audience, and gets completely ignored by me, who is way beyond ur intelligence level or class in society.
The green and libertarian parties are not viable parties..
U got sonned, again...lmao @ mentioning Carson...only idiots like u didn't know who he was...u mean the same n1gga taking a job in housing with zero experience? My self-esteem comes from the love of my family, the great job I do as a father, as a partner, as a colleague, etc...u could never understand.
U are a bitter a$s n1gga who pretends to be Black
There's also a reason why u keep mentioning things about my life (all of which I volunteered), which means I'm in in your head rent free. I don't know sh1t about u (other than ur not Black) nor care to...not where ur from, not ur height, not anything...
u can't stand my/our success, and I love it...keep wallowing in ur own pathetic position in life...u wasted ur privilege, tough...u can't even look in the mirror too long...
I'm pretty sure a try hard guy as yourself who works in a cubicle and is nowhere near black society will portray yourself to be the "blackest" guy in the room when you get near whites and non-blacks. You are the cornball black friend that cosplays as a Black American, using he N word freely on people you believe are non-black and use it in places that you view as non-black, just as how you do here on boxden.
So since the word has no power to you in your colloquial use, you'll allow a nonblack or white identifying person to refer to you as the N word in everyday usage out on the street, correct?
Reparations is not about financial literacy, you inbred moron.Reparation is about a DEBT that is owed to my people. It is re-compensatory justice that is past due. And guess what. it was your fellow Democrats that helped kill a California reparations bill that could've changed the course of the fight for reparations for African-Americans. This is why African-Americans are waking up and critiquing the Democrats.
Native Americans receive specific allocations exclusively for them. They receive tribal government funding ,housing assistance, and land management. In fact, Native Americans have arguably received more funding under the Biden/Harris admin than they've ever had historically. Please stop it, kid.
They are viable options for free thinkers, something that someone on the democratic plantation will never understand.
You tried to dismiss Ben Carson as a genius simply because he was part of Trump's administration. Carson will always be a genius regardless of political affiliation based on what he's done in his career as a doctor, which is more than what a Democratic shill as yourself will ever accomplish in more than 4 lifetimes combined.
Look at this oxymoron statement from a moron. I'm an N word yet I'm pretending to be black.
When you have to say you're black over and over, it means you are trying very very hard. Repetition helps to indoctrinate, and that seems to be the tactic you are employing. I'm starting to think you're a white liberal in digital blackface.
This is more of your indoctrination scheme. When you have to filibuster over and over how smart you are and how good you're living, it likely means you're broke and a failure. We already know you're an idiot, so that doesn't have to be stated.
Cubicle??! Rofl... n1gga I was working from home pre pandemic and still continue to do so + trade...my 'cubicle' = the guest room
Dumbass, words have no power without intent...n1gga ain't 'the N word' first off, and any non-Black person who are friends know not to use it round me because it's not theirs to use...and yes because I said so.
Idgaf how the word affects u...that's ur problem, not mine.
Again don't know how to read. Point out where I said reparations was about financial literacy...but u won't, u'll keep making sh1t up because of the fraud u are. I said reparations ain't gonna show my people how to keep the money which is wayyyy more important.
I didn't dismiss Carson because of Trump admin... U really can't read huh...I dismissed him because he took a position he wasn't qualified for...his bootlicking is besides the point...btw do u know what the word viable mean?
How are they viable options when we haven't had a single president from either party? U were better off saying the Whig party lmao... That pizza analogy blew up in ur face huh
Also, clearly u don't know any Native Americans if u think what u listed was support of them. Typical colonizer talk...
Try again on that definition of oxymoron lmao...n1gga using words he don't know the meaning of...that wouldn't even have been an example of one even if u were right. But to top it off, ur dumbass just equated 'n1gga' to Black, which is circumstantial evidence number 73847 that u ain't Black. WE use the term in a general way...any race can get called n1gga, even yours
I never once in that reply said I was Black...but there's actually hard evidence on this site that I am, plus 3 people on here know/have seen me before. U? Thought so...got caught lying again and/or showing ur lack of basic reading...and don't have to filibuster anything...u make this easy with ur lack of intelligence...it's quite easy to be smarter than someone like u...
Again, I live in ur head rent free, bi#ch n1gga...
The point still stands. You are a try hard cornball brother that has to overcompensate your blackness because you are far removed from Black America. This is the only place where you can cosplay blackness dropping the N word to signify that you have black credentials. If you were around black people in real life, you wouldn't have to substitute this place with people hat you claim are white to drop the N word as a use of colloquialism. This is the only place where you can be black.
So if words have no power, why not let a Caucasian person call you the N word freely? The word means nothing and holds no power yet you claim you won't let certain people use it around you. Why? It holds no power, correct? And you call yourself educaetedYour logic makes no sense, and you continue to further prove why you are moronic.
It doesn't effect you because you are not from my lineage. You're a cosplay Black American with no real root or connection to the word the way my people do.
You aren't my people. When it comes to African-American reparations, shut your mouth. You don't have a place in this conversation. Your reparations claim is in Jamaica (if you're who you say you are). Go to Jamaica and make your claim there. You can't tell me or suggest how my people can use or spend their money. If we want to splurge our money or keep our money to pass down, that is on us. Do not sit here and pretend as if you know better for us. Don't stick your nose in any African-American reparations conversation.
A nobody Democrat shill on an internet can't call anyone a bootlicker when you're an absolute failure. If you want to call him a bootlicker, a least he bootlicked his way into a presidential administration meanwhile you bootlick for the Democrat party and get absolutely nothing for it.
You also thought your wife was viable for marriage but you ended up filing for divorce. That marriage blew up in your face.Your lack of judgement shows you are in no position to tell anyone about options. Sit this one out, kid.
Why don't you tell us all about your Native American anecdote that's made you an expert on Native American affairs? :
Context matters. And judging from your response, you clearly understood that you're a walking contradiction. You call me an N word yet I'm not black. So you call non-black people the N word which is a complete indication of how much of an embarrassment you are and a poor representation of Black America. I bet you're the guy that runs around calling Arabs, Chinese, and white people the N word but would be the first to cry racism and become a snowflake Karen making a scene if they called you the N word back, correct? Is that who you're supposed to be?
I don't believe in the concept of "hard evidence" on the internet. Any and everything on the internet over technology can be faked. Anyone can come up here and say who they are. You claim to be a 5'4 Jamaican when you could probably be a 5'2 transwoman judging from your arguments. What you say holds little weight because you've made yourself to be an absolute joke.
