“It’s in all of the rap songs. Why are you mad now?” “I said it with the –a not the –er so it’s not bad right?” “These guys say it to each other all of the time so why can’t I say it?” It’s everyone’s favorite word, the N-word. Why do we even call it that to begin with? We all know what the N stands for right? The people that say it aren’t sugar coating it. Why does it morph from N***** to the N-word?
On this cast I discuss the anatomy of this word, how it has changed through the years, white people’s obsession with saying it, the trauma associated with it, and why you shouldn’t be acting out when someone says it to you. Black folks, you’re only as strong as your mind allows you to be. Those who are easily manipulated are headed for a fate worse than death because you’re not in control of it.
