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?

I agree that we should not use the N word when talking about our black men. People today use it however they feel not knowing that we degrade ourselves unconsciously. Yes, the root of the word came from another man's ignorance. I think we should expand our vocabulary and express ourselves with other words. As women we are also degraded by the use of words like hoe and ****. But until we demand more respect we will continue to degrade each other.

the other night when i was at work, this girl that i work with came in and she was like "wassup ****" and i wasn't really offended or anything like that, but i was just shocked because we don't really chill like that. Me and my friends say it to each other all the time, but it was just diff when she said it. i dunno, it just made me think more about the word and why hearing her say it made me feel the way it did :?: :?:
