Tip of the Week #13: Don't use the N-word

This conversation comes up every so often in casual conversations privately and publicly amongst mixed groups of people...here we go, the rule when it comes to using the N-word (nigga or nigger) is as simple as this: if you don't have melanin in your skin then you can't publicly (cuz i know people use it private all the time) use the N-word...don't try to figure out why black people or latin american people (puerto ricans especially) can use the word...or try to use the rationale that you should be able to use the word cuz Chris Rock says it on his standup specials or damn near every rapper says in on a song...you just can't say it

people with melanin can use the word (i'm speaking bout black people mainly) simply cuz we can....that's it no more no less...I liken the use of the N-word to I can talk about my mom but you damn shonuff (shout out to Shonuff from The Last Dragon cult classic) better not say not one derogatory statement about my mom, its just some shit you just are not allowed to do...this tip stems from Dr. Laura, a radio personality speaking about the use of the N-word...peep the audio clip



and remember just don't say it in public, you will avoid a lot of aggravation & criticism...

holla,
