I think it‘s surface level conversation. I don’t care if we say “nigga” as long as we don’t treat each other like “niggas”. People like to intellectualize things too much, some of those folks asking us to change our lexicon be the ones selling us out behind closed doors. At the end of the day, the term will go away when we desire as a community to make it go away. It’ll be a natural side effect of an evolved state of the community.The age old debate:

And yes, Kenan was married to a non-Black woman. Now that that's out of the way, who do you agree with on the usage of the n-word?
Love me some Mike Tyson (the boxer). Tyson fights were basically family weekend get togethers when I was growing up, but Mike the Celebrity???? problematic. It is weird to see the soft shoeing from somebody who was so blatantly railroaded by white society, but I'm sure part of that is not having a pops, and him being raised by his trainer/guardian. Especiallly when you think about how he was at one time heavy into the NOI. My boy Mike been compromised and he is tired o fighting. I'll probably get a little misty eyed when its his time. Not because I'll be sad he died, but because I know how much pain that brother had to go through to become who he was. It seems like all our FBA icons have to overcome insurmmountable odds to become superstars, but at heavy psychological costs.
There is no excuse for white people to say it at all. They need to be under the fear of immediate bodily harm if they drop that word on us straight up and down. Mike was cooning on there a bit.
That's true mate, definitely if the n - word would have to be slashed out of our lexicons it would do that in a collective manner. The main point here is how we choose to treat each other, do we still call our selves brothers but would sell out your other black man without even a second thought. We need to show more sincere love and stop all this patronizing words when we get on camera.
Mike Tyson has low self esteem and it is super evident. Look how he referred to himself as a “nigga” and in the most negative way possible. He low key was calling himself a n****r on his show and saying he’s lowly and will always be. I’m like you…Tyson in the ring is dope, Tyson out of the ring is 50/50.
brrrrrrrauuuhhhhh, I almost put them paws on him at work (for something unrelated), some furnitutre got moved around beore cooler heads prevailed-- and this was at a cubicle gig. He was a little asian cat who thought just cuz he went to school with Black kids,played ball, and vultured our culture, that he was down. hhe was smart enough not to say it around me or the other Black co-workers, but he let it slip that he does say it around his friends, then would have the nerve to come to us whenever something racist happened to him cuz he was asian. dude was real funny style.
