Why must we call our handsome Black men, ****? I don't see the point to it. They are men, guys, boys but not n!ggas, nuccas, niccas, etc. So why do I continue to see the ladies of HBCU's calling the males that label?
Why are we referred to B*tches, Hoes, ****,broads??? The ignorance is on bothsides.

Well it all depends on how you want to take I think that n!gga is just the black community's way to turn a negative into a postive so that whites can't use it against them

Took the words out of my mouth...Even tho I am a male I have noticed that most men call women b*tches or whatnot..So, since it's like that I can't blame women calling us n*ggas

the originality behind **** comes from Egypt and it meant Prince or something like that but then the white people came and twisted it all up but i don't know why we continue to knock down our own people it's just ridiculous

Where did u find this info? Because i always believed that the Spainish started it (first to arrive in africa to "claim" us) and called us first Negro defined as black in spanish. The Europeans took it and changed the pronounciation (spelled that wrong) which was later transformed to an even countrier term by (country slang speaking plantation owners) into ****. Which we then changed (from bitter derogatory and sugarcoated it with bullshyt )to seem as something sweet and overcoming.

It actually did start with the spanish, but it was "nigre" as in the Niger River which back then was the Nigre River, but when they took us back it was assumed that the Spanish word "negro" was being mispronounced, which then evolved into negro, then ****. Richard Pryor once said that while we were in Africa, there were so many wars between tribes and black people fighting other blacks, but when they took all of our kings and queens and warriors, we were united into 1 tribe, the ****.
