 I never understood this. I watch MTV and the rap people and they say it constantly. It seems rather contradictory to hate the usage of that word and then use it casually yourself.

Also why do you people like rap? It just seems to be children rhymes with bad words and people created a bad fake image.

Why do people look up to men who dress silly, promote anti-social behavior and treat woman like objects specially calling them "bitches"? This, fiddy diddy cent fellow doesn't seem like a very nice fellow, I was reading his past on the wiki and he actually seems like a very horrible man. Yet, he sells millions and idealized.

Whats that all about?

@Dtat: Wells, this is off-topics. However, if you want to talks about video game. Fiddy Diddy's game sold something like, 2 million copies. Terrible game.

An African-American friend of mine told me his father basically explained that they started saying it as kind of a badge of honor to remember the hardships they've overcome. Whether or not that's the case or a story, I don't know. Kind of makes sense though.

What's the deal with life, man?

Remember when we used to be young? When we had dreams, aspirations? Ideas?

Life changes us. Life changes each and every one of us.

But 50 cents didn't endure hardships of ancestors. He just criminal steal crap and make lots of money due to big dumb society. If I was black people who endure bad stuff due to racist people days, I would be insulted to see fiddly diddly using my hardships as badge of honer.

The question is never going to die until it actually gets an answer, and people are for the most part okay with it not having an answer right now.

If you could say the "N" word, how would you use it ? Do you just want to casually go around and just call people the "N" word ?  You can say the "N" word all you want right now but there just happen to be consequences now.  Get a time machine and go back to before the Civil Rights movement and say it all you want with immunity.  You honestly sicken me.

Saying "the n word" is just the white persons way of saying it and getting away with it.

I think a better question is why racists feel that black people aren't smart enough to understand literary concepts that have existed in every culture for thousands of years. In the case of black people using the "n" word, irony.

If I as a black person call another black person the "n" word it is, and I feel dumb even having to explain this to you, ironic since we are both black and for me to disparage him for being black is only disparaging myself.

It's the same when fat people on the biggest loser call themselves and eachother fat. Or when sorority girls call each other bitches. Or when gay people call each other fags.

And it's important to understand that white culture is no more ridiculous than black culture. White kids running around wearing their sisters jeans is no more reasonable than black people wearing jeans that are too large. BOys wearing makeup is no more reasonable than black men walking around with baseball caps. 

The only difference is your arbitrary decisions about what is "good" and "right."

Exactly. 50 Cents ancestors were black, and as we all know black people in the early days of America had it easy. They owned us white folk and lived on plantations where we were forced to work for long hours and sleep in sheds and get blamed for impregnating the master's daughter.

1 AD or 0 BC or somethin': Jesus happened
1400s: Knights and stuff, probably
1700s: England had fog
1800s to 195x: Racist People Days!
1979-present day: The rap people

@Deusoma: the "N" word is a word that represents "oppression". When black people say it it represents "victim of oppression", when white people say it it represents "purveyor of oppression". that's the answer, lets move on.

This thread is not going to lead to any good conversation if it continues. We're looking at either more trolling, rampant stupidity, or flamewars.

No good can come of this.
