Should white people ever sing the N-word?

I think that a well-behaved language is best and is relevant for maintaining good communication, but in the entertainment industry, N is flowing. |
Personally, I don't think anyone should use the word at all. (Except when quoting it's use historically. I'm not a fan of trying to erase the past.)

It is absurd...I googled some of his lyrics from just one song.
"Is It Love" (feat. Angela McCluskey) [Angela McCluskey (Kendrick Lamar)] Sit still and close your eyes (smoke to it) What's behind the other door? Oh-ohh No more silence (no more silence) Don't kill this thing we got called love (don't shoot) Just searching for the perfect shot [Chorus: Angela McCluskey] When love comes calling, don't look back When love comes calling, don't look away When love comes calling, don't look back When love comes calling, don't look away [Kendrick Lamar (Angela McCluskey)] I used to write rhymes all day and all night When y'all was playing PlayStation, my pencil was erasing lines My conscience only knew what's half-tight At 3:14, it's time to get me a slice my nigga This is a dog's fight my nigga The soundtrack to life my nigga Kendrick Lamar, his momma called him that He watched House Party and ate Apple Jacks He sold Sega games, his cousin sold crack He pumped Reeboks, his uncles pumped packs Punk fake, jump-shot, ball hit the back Ball dreams of being point guard was off limits Jack That's because these Compton streets was built not to win You killed the nigga, I stole a bible, is that a sin? Part of me though, I'm searching for answers (just searching for the perfect shot) The good kid from the ugly city that's mad that he's had some Where is the love? [Chorus: Angela McCluskey (Kendrick Lamar)] When love comes calling, don't look back When love comes calling, don't look away (where is the love?) When love comes calling, don't look back When love comes calling, don't look away [Kendrick Lamar (Angela McCluskey)] Give me rings, give me chains mayne Give me a blue Benz, red Porsche, red Range Give me black bitches, white hoes, new clothes A mansion with marble floors and security codes Then give me some landa, or maybe I'll land a G5, clear port, say hello to the man Give me awards, Grammies, and let the crowd applaud my name till they strain the veins in they vocal chords Give me fame and fortune, me and Trump on golf courses With that being said, give me Tiger's sports endorsements Give me billboards, whatever that people would kill for Manhattan at 40/40, no forties but rose poured Give me vanity, give me Kurt Cobain sanity Give me a city where Channel 7 newscasters' cameras be Give me horror like Amity, no, give me the charts (just searching for the perfect shot) And if you ever renege, I'll still give you Kendrick Lamar This is me, and that's love [Chorus: Angela McCluskey] When love comes calling, don't look back When love comes calling, don't look away When love comes calling, don't look back When love comes calling, don't look away [Kendrick Lamar] Now everybody smoke to it for this is, the celebration Just at a glance at this one song this person is a total hypocrite. White ho's and niggas abound in this pathetic excuse for a musician. Indeed the tongue in an unruly evil which no man can tame. Makes me sick... It called to mind the scene in Glory from Morgan Freeman. [Trip and Searles are about to fight when Rawlins steps in] Trip: Get your hands off me, gravedigger! Rawlins: Goddamn it! Does the whole world gotta stomp on your face? Trip: ******, you better get your hands off me! Rawlins: Ain't no ******s around here, you hear me? Trip: Oh, I see. So the white man give you a couple of stripes, next thing you hollerin' and orderin' everybody around, like you the massa himself! ******, you ain't nothin' but the white man's dog! ****. [Rawlins slaps him.] Rawlins: And what are you? So full of hate you have to fight everybody because you've been whipped and chased by hounds. Well, that might not be living, but it sure as hell ain't dying. And dying's what these white boys been doin' for going on three years now, dying by the thousands! Dying for you, fool! I know, 'cuz I dug the graves. And all the time I keep askin' myself, "When, O Lord, when gonna be our time?" Gonna come a time when we all gonna hafta ante up and kick in like men. LIKE MEN! You watch who you callin' ******. If there's any ******s round here, it's YOU! Smart-mouthed, stupid-ass, swamp-runnin' ******. And if you ain't careful, that's all you ever gonna be. Amen |
I can agree on that the N-word is not suitable
Well in my world the word Afro-American is also non-suitable. How many generation does a black person living in USA have to live there before you call him American. You do not call a white person Euro-American or Iris-American(I haven't heard these words) For me-An American who use the words Afro-American, are saying to a black person- You will never be an American you will always be known as Afro-American. That's how I see it. Markus |
Some find it offensive, others wont, most probably wont really care.
I'm more iffy about the widely accepted term 'People of Colour' Maybe some one can explain how that is any different from the old slur 'coloured people'? It means the same thing 'non-white'. And If someone needs a blanket term to describe anyone who isn't one particular colour, I have a pretty bad feeling about that persons intentions. Because that sort of thing never leads anywhere good. |

That designation wasn't chosen by the people you are interpreting it to have been chosen by. It was "self" chosen. I don't choose to call myself a German American, I'm an American. By and large African Americans don't want you to call them just "plain" Americans. Somebody tell me if I'm wrong? Now I'm curious as to how people from Turkey residing in Germany prefer to be referred to? :06: |
Mapuc,
I think the point is that if you wanted to refer to yourself as a "*-American" you would be free to do so. The fact that you choose not to, does not validate or invalidate another person's choice. People in the US often refer to themselves by other descriptive names Southerners, Northern, Coastal, New Yorkers, etc. The only difference is that in our culture we don't add the "-American" as it is understood If someone self-identified as "Southern", chances are slight that they mean South France. The "American" is presumed. However if someone self identifies as "African", one would not presume that "American" should be appended. Hence the hyphen. I wonder if there are any white people who identify as African-American. Africa is a big place. |

Or you can just say "yankee". The "damn" will be implied anyway. :D

I tried putting 'American' on the last Census and got an official visit.
We were almost getting to the point where we thought of each other as American, then divisiveness reared its ugly head again about 9 years ago. I went through the 60's, nobody uses the n-word in my house, and my American friends are American. |
