BUSHAKA has been coined by students at Austin H. MacCormisk Island Academy to replace the N word.
So instead of addressing each other with the N word, students now say BUSHAKA while bumping/skaking closed right fists.
BUSHAKA which means positivity is multicultuarl in its inclusiveness- meaning it can be used by all- black, white, pink, brown, yellow, red, periwinkle, and any other color, well you get it.
It stands for positive energy so when you say BUSHAKA as a greeting, you're saying, "My brother/sister, in with the positive, out with the negative".
BUSHAKARIZATION means enlightenment, while niggerization means ignorance and enslavement of the mind.
To BUSHAKARIZE or to SHAKARIZE is to motivate or to be motivated to excellence, to learn, to enlighten.
To ********* is to darken your mind or to refuse to learn or engage in positive attitude and activity.
SHAKARA is the seed of enlightenment, or your ingenuity, your mind, your brain, your intelligence. So spread the word

You know, it isn't the word itself, it is what you mean when you say it. So if you use Bushaka instead of the N word, then in essence it is just as bad as the N word if you actually mean the N word. Remember, "*****" means "black" in Spanish, "*********" means "cheap" although it has nothing to do with the N word. However, if you tell someone they have taken a ********* approach to something, they will be insulted if they don't know what the word means. If you call some Black people "Colored" today they will want to skin you alive, but back in the 60's, many Black people preferred the term. So, remember, it isn't the word itself, but what you mean by the word.

I think it's very hopeful of these students to try to unite people of all races. It shows that not all young people are poisoned by what our generation and the ones before us have done in the way of hatred. I'm not so sure it will catch on all over simply because the word, Bushaka, doesn't roll off the tongue very well. Maybe, eventually, a derivative or similar word will catch on.
