Well, i hear people say it on a daily basis... i see 12, 13, 14 year olds using it. People that are 40, 50 etc.

It's almost like as normal as saying hi or bye to someone... it's sad it's being used in daily vocab.

I NEVER hear it.. I cant even remember the last time I heard it.. Noone I know EVER uses it... I dont understand any of this... Seriously...

Niggas is stupid these days ...

just like negroes, afrikkkan amerikkkans, and white folks, huh?

Let's kick the garbage can over and spread the mess, what word is as offensive as nigga to any other nationality in the world? I know that kaffir is the South African equivalent, is there another that has that sting?

can i use this in a thread???

nah, but really when you look at all the words

that have really negative conotations they are

aimed at the darker skinned people.

and soon as the accept bein 'niggas'

those words don't do as much damage.

that's why so many races IDENTIFY with

nigga

Honey you need to get out. I hear it every single day. Like I said two Chinese boys were saying it to each other last week. It's all over youtube, on blogs, it's like air at this point.

Westchester County, New York. Couple minutes away from the city.

Yeah I dig what some of y'all are saying. Like damn if you do damn if you don't. I doubt there won't ever be a time when we (black folks) won't stop saying it but we sure will read other groups the riot act for saying it. Believe that.

No no, I tend to agree with a lot of what you say, but you're on your own on that one LOL.

Honestly? I don't give a crap if others say 'n***a', regardless of their ethnicity and I say it myself.

The word 'n****r' also has no effect on me.

As far as the 'ninja' thing goes - I've heard of people using it in substitute for 'n***a', but I have yet to actually see or hear that firsthand. Most folks I know just say 'n***a' and wouldn't say ninja because it's fucking corny.

I don't know. I'm kinda mixed myself on the issue... But I guess I meant a CERTAIN portion. Me myself I wouldn't have much of a problem I guess.

...is just as distasteful as using the real word. In fact, it might be more distasteful. Not striking me as clever or funny at all.

This isn't directed at anybody in particular, either. I just read it about six times from more than one poster and felt the need to comment.

I'm one of the posters who have said it and IDGAF! Besides....why non-ninjas care? That's what is strange to me. Why other people get hyped about words that have different meanings and are used in different ways than what is familiar to them.

ninja

mofo

neezy

home skillet

brotha

cuzzin

I get that some black people have turned the word on it's head, but I wish the n word and any other subsitutes were buried forever.

Almost thought this was an Shinobi appreciation thread. Oh well.

Niggas is a beautiful thang
