I got one thing to say to my black brothers and sisters. The government only recognize your right to bare arms and protect your family for bout what? 150 years? If it's politics like short suggests, ask yourself which party wants to restrict your rights to guns and ammo? Armed Americans have teeth.

      @@avideorecord3585 My thing with it is this, as a mixed man. I don’t think you can relate to what us minorities suffer on a daily basis due to white people and what’s happened in history. Now do I think black people should say the word? No most educated brotha’s and sista’s don’t. The word is derogatory for anyone to say. Just cause you grew up around black people don’t mean you understand they struggles. White people don’t get racially profiled like blacks do, you also don’t understand the hood and how hard it is for us brotha’s to escape it alive. This is a common misconception about the culture part. It’s not culture based the word is race based. We as black men and women are the only ones who use a derogatory word to greet each other and it’s always confused me once I educated myself. I now no longer say the word because it needs to be forgotten.

      ​@@zachariah1990 you say if white people grew up around black people they dont understand the struggles, then you said white people dont get profiled or understand the hood.
      id like to say to that - thats bullshit. i was born an raised in Detroit, sold dope, ran the streets.. you gonna tell me i dont know about the hood? you gonna tell me cops never threw me against a wall for no reason other than how i was dressed and what area i was in? i mean maybe YOUR experience is that way but i for damn sure not gonna let someone tell me i dont know about the hood and the struggles of making it out alive. i had homies shot in front of my house and killed, i had people stabbed in front of my house and killed. ive been the only white mufucka at a cookout lol.. black AND mexican cookouts. so dont pull some "you dont know our sttruggle" bullshit - because its the same struggle everybody in the hood faces - black people in detroit aint got it no better or worse than white people in detroit - or ANY impoverished city for that matter. i never had anybody pull some "dont say nigga" shit to me but i also try not to say it because i think it just aint a good look in a porfessional manner, granted sometimes that shit slip out when you chillin with the crew. but i mean i been called nigga my entire damn life by black people, grew up on hiphop, so ya it becomes part of your vocabulary.
      idk thats my opinion tho. but you def wrong trying to say nobody can understand black peoples struggles or they dont know the hood or how deadly it is.

      @@DrippUP Eminem created a lot of delusion in you white boys, you don’t know the hood. You think cause you have black friends you know our struggle you don’t. Your people did my people wrong so when you say the word it has a double meaning under and by us keeping it alive it gives power back to the white men who used it to keep us down. There is a reason people with your skin color don’t come to my hood I grew up in Compton and you wouldn’t make it here that’s a fact. Nothing you said shows you know us blacks struggle, all you did was push the delusion 8 Mile gave you. Us blacks are profiled often in stores by cops because of our skin color etc. you people are not. Also say the word around the dudes I grew up with in Compton they would end you and leave you in a ditch. Again when you white people say it, it has a double meaning under cause a lot of your ancestors did my people wrong. That is why us blacks are ready to scrap when a white person says it. You being white proves in multiple statistics the advantages you have when it comes to not being profiled by people cause of your skin color etc. you will never understand it cause you are white. By us blacks saying the word we are giving power back to the white people, your ancestors who put us in chains cause that is what they called us to put us down. Go to any all black neighborhood and say the word. You won’t cause you know the consequences. This thing of oh I know the struggle cause I got black friends you don’t end of story.

I am on your side. Its still not Afrikan Americans fault, but that doesn't mean that we shouldn't raise awareness. We must break the chains and give every young black man the opportunity to think rationally. I was just simply putting a word to what you were saying (internalized oppression).
