Why Do My Black People Think There Is A Difference In The Words ****er and ****a?

Question

this is the DUMBEST thing ive heard my brothers and sisters say. making claims there is a difference. i know ****A is a term of endearment, but i dont find anything endearing about either word no matter how you spell it! it is a nasty disgusting word to be proud to call yourselves! WE ARE NOT ****ERS OR ******!! have more f*ckin love and pride in yourselves than to call yourselves or each other that. i work for an elementary school teaching computer classes. my skin crawls when i hear these black kids say that word to each other. not cool! a lot of them dont know the history of this degrading word.
but even after you teach the history of the word, some get it, some dont, it is way worst when u have a conversation with grown men how f*cked up this word is to our race.
and they will argue that they find no fault with it as long as u dont use the 'ER version of the word. when we dont respect ourselves, PLEASE dont expect respect from anyone else.

Answer 1

Please no one get offended here as I know I am writing to a black person about the word Ni**er.
So read what I am saying not what you THINK I have said.. okay??

I have never understood why blacks refer to other blacks as
"Ni*gger and Ni*ga.." or how ever it is that you spell it.
I was always taught that these two words were slang, and not only were they slang of the word *****, but that they were words used to be demeaning, hateful, and disrespectful.
However on the flip side of that I have heard many blacks say that its as you said above, a form of respect or endearment towards other blacks.
I disagree. I dont know of other whites useing the words cracker, hillbilly, or honky as a form of endearment. Grant it that each set of these words mean different things, but all together they mean the same thing as they are disrespectful to the person who it is being said to, and shows a lack of respect for ones self that one should use it in reference to another person.

I guess herein is where I find the problem with the use of these words. Blacks cry racial hatred when a white says these words about a black person either to them or about them. Yet they can call each other these names, and it isnt racial.

In what I am about to say, dont get offended by it..
There are people who are disrespectful in every race.
Bums, people who wont work, people who want hand outs, people who want everything in life given to them. People who think that in having FREEDOM AND LIBERTY entitles them to encroach upon the freedoms and libtery of others.
These people are the "white trash, the honkies, the crackers, the *****ers, the ****ahs". These are the people who have no respect for themselves and no one else.

I hope no one is offended by what I have said, but they are my own views. I am not one that will usually tiptoe around a subject, but I know that racism in any form is a very tender subject which one must tread carefully.

Yay, stirring up some controversy. that's the hip-hop way. Lol in basic terms kidding. Umm technically speaking, there's a 2-letter distinction. yet heavily, think of approximately this. A black guy is going as much as his white buddy and says, "what's up my n*gga?". The white guy responds, "Chillin". What you're asserting is that the black guy pronounced the white guy became a n*gger...(and that's faulty) So in a fashion, the be conscious has stepped forward previous that's slang version of the be conscious n*gger and has now been used as a noun for a individual, in spite of race. there'll consistently be people who do not in basic terms like the be conscious getting used whether that's been proliferated to the factor which you would be able to not do lots approximately it. And in basic terms submit to in concepts this, i did not replace the which potential of the be conscious, society did. how many songs(extremely rap songs) have used the be conscious?

Answer 3

Fact from fiction, truth from diction. Many of these young people have no real clue the birth of the word. they have illusions of granjure, that by dropping the 'R', they some hoe gained ownership of it. Who would want to own something so whacked and busted? I don't hear Jewish kids calling each other ****, or Chinese kids calling each other c***, or Hispanic kids calling each other s***. Why are African American kids the only one to diss themselves. Part of it could be that parents did not teach them that the word preceded the black Holocaust, and even in this PC world is still used too much.

Answer 4

I get what you are saying but in the dictionary a *****r is a dirty person which could be anyone. People don't realize exactly how much they use these words. They just do it and think nothing of it. No matter which word you use it is still degrading and some people think by calling one of their friends their "*****" that they are being cool or whatever.

Answer 5

quite frankly, ive never said that word before in my life, even though i do swear every now and then. at any case, i dont use that word because of what it represents. however i had an argument with my friend about this. they said because it means ignorant black person. but the truth is, thats exactly why the word shouldn't be used, by us or any one for that matter

Answer 6

I'M A 61 WHITE MAN IN BELFAST AND HAVE NEVER SEEN ****A , BUT WHEN I SEE BLACK PEOPLE CALLING EACH OTHER NIGGE*S IN FILM'S ETC , IT IS WRONG , WE DO NOT SEE MANY BLACK PEOPLE OVER HERE TO LISTEN TO THEM TALK

Answer 7

we need to forget about ourselves and start caring for each other.that's the problem with all races and creeds. we're too concerned with how others treat ourselves than how we treat others.

Answer 8

I understand your point. ****** was a term used to mean not human. wtf? I hear all my friends say it and it makes no sense.
***** is da same thing. I'm sure it'll pass soon even though the word herb and heeb are comin back. :(
