Why do whites on the right have a problem with not using this word?
The late night lesson tonight is:
The N Word Is Not To Be Used By Whites
"What white people have to do is try and find out in their own hearts why it was necessary to have a ‘nig-ger’ in the first place, because I’m not a nig-ger, I’m a man. But if you think I’m a nig-ger, it means you need him. The question you’ve got to ask yourself, is, if you invented him, you the white people invented him, then you’ve got to find out why. And the future of the country depends on that, whether or not it is able to ask that question.”
James Baldwin
I don’t know what has entered the minds of some white Americans. For some reason they have given themselves permission to believe they have the right to use the n word. The rationale for this is, “listen to the rappers, you guys use the word among yourselves so it apparently won’t offend you when whites do it.” Let me say to whites that at one time the opinion was that the moon was made of cheese. Certainly you have freedom of speech and you
CAN hold that conversation with a black and use the word at your leisure. But if you are white and you desire so much to use this word to describe us, it’s best you reserve it’s use for conversations only among whites.
Why do whites think they have this right? Everything has a history and so does the n word. The purposeful way a part of the white culture chooses to forget and even deny history is sickening. For those who are white and think it is just a harmless and endearing word when whites use it, let us do a small review of the history and usage of the n word by whites in America. After all, if there has ever been a time where whites used the word and it meant something complimentary, I really need to know. Because in all my years of living I have yet to hear that example.
“There is a direct and strong link between the word ****** and anti-black caricatures. Although ****** has been used to refer to any person of known African ancestry.2 it is usually directed against blacks who supposedly have certain negative characteristics. The Coon caricature, for example, portrays black men as lazy, ignorant, and obsessively self-indulgent; these are also traits historically represented by the word ******. The Brute caricature depicts black men as angry, physically strong, animalistic, and prone to wanton violence. This depiction is also implied in the word ******. The Tom and Mammy caricatures are often portrayed as kind, loving "friends" of whites. They are also presented as intellectually childlike, physically unattractive, and neglectful of their biological families. These latter traits have been associated with blacks, generally, and are implied in the word ******. The word ****** was a shorthand way of saying that blacks possessed the moral, intellectual, social, and physical characteristics of the Coon, Brute, Tom, Mammy, and other racial caricatures.”
Dr. David Pilgrim and Dr. Phillip Middleton, “****** and Caricature”
At no time in the history of this nation has the word ****** as used by whites ever implied anything positive. It is one of the most derogatory descriptors of a human that has ever been created. I’m not going to attempt a long dissertation about the etymology of the word. Many before me have done that. I want people to look at the word as it has been used in American race relations between whites and blacks in order for whites to understand why it is unwise for them to use the word in a conversation with a black individual.
“That’s the question have got to ask yourself — the white population has got to ask itself — north and south, because it’s one country for a Negro. There’s no difference between the north and south. There’s just a difference in the way they castrate you, but the fact of the castration is the American fact. If I’m not a ****** here and you, the white people invented him, they you’ve got to find out why. And the future of the country depends on that. Whether or not it’s able to ask that question.”
James Baldwin
Historically the N word has been used by whites to describe blacks as lazy, dumb, uneducated, worthless, scum, less than human and parasites. It has stood for nothing coming out of the mouth of whites but insults and to denigrate black people. For over 240 years this has been the primary use of the word by whites.
“I know this and everyone who’s ever tried to live knows this. What you say about anybody else reveals you … I’m not describing you when I talk about you, I’m describing me. Now here in this country there something called a ******. We have invented the ******. I didn’t invent him. White people invented him. I’ve always know since that time that I was 17 years old that what you are describing was not me and what you were afraid of was not me. It has to be something else … I’ve always know that I’m not a ******. But if it’s true that your invention reveals you, then who is the ******? … You still think, I gather that the ****** is necessary. Well, he’s unnecessary to me, so he must be necessary to you. I’m going to give you your problem back: You’re the ******, baby, it isn’t me.”
James Baldwin
Whites invented the word. And the word meant nothing funny or positive. Why did whites invent this word? Was it because they were the ones who felt inferior so they had to make up a fictitious term? Was it because whites were so insecure about themselves they had to make up a word to have a reason to look down on people in order to lift themselves up? And why do whites want so badly to keep using the word now? Do they have such low self esteem they must still rely on a fake word about a made up non existent being in order to feel good about themselves? I don’t know the answer and don’t give a damn what the answer could be. The N word is not to be used by whites.
“If black people call each other N-words in the company of a white guy, then logically they have forfeited any right to be offended if the white guy also calls them N-words. Of course many will be offended because few people are logical when it comes to racial issues.”

Funny how whites say stuff like this. We don't feel like we have the right to call whites micks, degos, wops, guineas, limeys, kikes and pollacks just because we hear them doing it. But it seems there are whites who seem to struggle with this so I’ll say this again: “The n word is not to be used by whites.” If you are white and hear blacks saying it to each other, feel free to break that rule, but then also feel free to accept the consequences that come with your decision.
This is all I am going to write on this matter. ****** is not just a word. Not to blacks. In this case, that’s the only opinion that matters. I don’t give a damn what any of you stormfront troopers think about me saying this; the n word is not to be used by whites.
Here endeth the lesson.
