The N-Word....

[Cisse Westlake]

ex slaves have copy right on the word nigga

[KeligiiJabhad]

I failed to understand how this single word may concern
about Somalis... I mean, we Somalis ain't Niggas, are we?

Of course you are not a nigger and neither is any other person of color living on this earth.

What does slavery have to do with the word nigger? And how long have some of you people lived in America? Blacks living in Africa have been refered to as niggers just as long as African Americans have.

Never in History has a Somali been called Nigger. So no, not everyone in Africa has been refered to as a Nigger. Why do African Americans and other Blacks usually have these afrocentrist vision or idea horta.

Thats right. Keep your head in the sand and you will be ok. ignorance really is bliss

Even Africans that are not black in race or color(meaning those of the north) and people of the middle east are refered to as the N word. They are called sand niggers. Look it up if you think I kid you.

First of all as i stated never in history has a somali been refered to as a nigger. Secondly just because African Americans and other Africans were enslaved by the white man and have this hatred or mentality to be afrocentric we dont need it. I say Fack Blacks and Africans, because at the end of the day am Somali period. One more thing tell me why is it when talking about Ancient Egyptians history, its usually African Americans arguing that they were Black, because even if they were black we all know where they would have come from. See i just dont get why yall gotta flaunt and include color and race in everything. To us if ur not Somali ur as much an outsider as a man from Iceland. Doesnt matter if ur black.

What the hell are you talking about boy You get off topic.

I am not a nigger. West Africans are not niggers. East Africans are not niggers. North Africans are not niggers and most importantly you are not a nigger.

Its a hateful word that the white man has come up with to put people of color down and I think its pathetic that acting like ignorant fools calling each other the word whether in friendship or in disdain to make themselves feel better. All it does is reinforce all the negativity that people of color deal with in the first place.

Its an awful word and it should be abolished from the mouths of blacks/somalis/Africans period.

[Enlightened~Sista]

Only pathetic Somalis allow others 2 call them nigger! I know some may look like slaves but they need 2 be strong and hold their head up high!

LOL you're soo funny!

Black people should stop using that term..why can't they use brother?

even Somali guys have stopped using the word 'walaal' and 'abowe' not including the ones back home..FIX UP!
