| ShadowSoldier said: I'm black and I use the word nigga. A professor of mine even said that it's almost Poetic Justice that, black people were able to take that very word that caused so much harm and injustice and discomfort, into a word of endearment and love for one another, while making white people uncomfortable when it's used around them at the same time. |
And that is the perfect example of racism thowards white people... your professor finds it justice to make white people feel uncomfortable, because in the past, ancestors of theirs were slavers....
your professor might not know that white people were themselves basically slaves to their lords in feodal times, or even in roman times when concquered populations became slaves (so europe), nor that the portion of white people to have been slavers was relatively small. Nor does he probably know that black people were most often "bought" in africa as slaves.... from their black kings, and not hunted down as cattle (why fight when you can give glowing gems (glass) instead?). That's a wise professor you have, you should follow all he says.
want a similar Justice? Humanity began in africa, the law was the strongest survives, weaker populations had to travel for food or be extinct... by extrapolation, every population on earth have a justified reason to hate africans because ancestor of theirs were maltreated by ancestors of the others.... That's as much legitimacy as there is in all this. (only the incas can not be hated as they are the furthest away :p)
(note I don't have any problem with the word nigga, i just got irked by your professor's comment)
