The "N' Word Documentary

A must see documentary from 2004. Two clips below.

 

The N Word

A documentary look at the cultural significance of the weighty, historically volatile "n word," this program features interviews with a variety of cultural figures, including Chuck D, Wynton Marsalis, Dr. Todd Boyd, Samuel Jackson, Bryant Gumbel, Whoopee Goldberg, Talib Kweli, and many others. An enlightening and in-depth look at a crucial topic, the film examines the history of the word and its uses, which range from a term of endearment to an abhorrent insult, as well as the personal experiences of many people.

Honestly, the "N" word is not a word that I need to use at all! I have an adequate enough vocabulary to call someone ignorant if I believe that they are being ignorant. As far as I am concerned the "N" word is as derogatory as it ever was in its original form. If we would stop using curse words to describe our emotional frustrations maybe white people would use the intellect they claim to have by not degrading others on the mere basis of ones skin color.


We have allowed white people to define us by our skin color, perhaps that is why our brothas have become our "niggaz".

Self hatred has a multi colored texture and should not be individualized in black (Negus) alone!
