Ralfa'il said:Personally, I choose to call myself black or AfroAmerican.
But I'm still trying to figure out how can people get so pissed off and taken aback by the word "negro" when so many of our people are running up and down the streets calling eachother "niggga" all day long.
Niggga to me is actually more offensive than negro because it's just a mispronounciation of the word "*******".
I'm in my early 30s but I remember a time when we used to didn't call eachother that around white people, only among eachother.
Now I see young cats all up and down the street shouting it at eachother, all on the trains. Even at work.
Brother Sun Ralfa'il, ya hot today, yo!(smile!)
We get Bent over stuff - all of us - that probably aint gots nothing to do with what we're REALLY bent about... We gots NEGROES out here wearing bling with the words ***** and QUEEN B. across their necks, and JUICY written on the back of their pants... We support Rap artists who say they'd sell drugs to their mama if she'd buy 'em... That's a group I've got serious problems with, not a sister who has created a community for me to come and converse with African people of like mind...
I'll be over in the ELDERS thread, OldSoul, James, and Pdiane are dropping bombs of knowledge, and we're over here with this drama... I am starting to be a disciple of James theory that we're a people with some serious mental challenges to overcome on a collective level...
