REAL TALK – the history of the word ‘Nigger’ (ReMix)

February 12th, 2006

When I was born way back in 1970, the second week of February was called ‘Negro History Week’. I always thought that white gave us the second week of February because the great Republican president, Abraham Lincoln has a born day on the 12th.

Now that isn’t the exact origin of what we now call BLACK HISTORY MONTH but I do have a TRUE STORY for you.

The REAL TALK history of the word NIGGER.

The word nigger is a derivative of a German word, NEGGAR. The definition for this word is ‘plowman’. In farming, the plowman is the toughest, most back-breaking and menial task. The plowman has to drive the team of animals through the field. By the end of the day, the plowman is up to his knees in shit and animal piss. The indentured servants that were assigned this work by their feudal lords were expected to do their work in any weather and in any condition.

Fast forward to the settling of America. The colonists that were wealthy bought tracts of land and they brought their indentured servants with them to assist in farming the land. Upon completion of their term of servitude, the indentured servants would become landowners themselves. With vast areas of undeveloped land, the settlers needed more NEGGARS to help them clear forestry and till the soil. The indigenous peoples of America were little interested in helping the settlers and were actually more likely than not to slit the colonists throats while they slept.

The colonists needed a relatively cheap source of labor and manpower. In steps the great Mediterranean traders with their human chattel from central Africa. The colonists were so enthralled by the prospect of these workers because they understood agriculture and could withstand the oppressive humid climate in the southern colonies. The colonists had found their new NEGGARS. For simplicity and clarity purposes, Europeans like to name areas after the resource they extract from those regions. IVORY COAST, GOLD COAST and NIGER were names that were assigned to regions for the commodities they yielded.

The German word NEGGAR begat the African nation NIGER begat the American word NIGGER. The word NIGGER has nothing to do with the Latin word NEGRO any more than the word ‘axe’ shares the same meaning as the word ‘ask’. The name of the governor in California (Schwarze-Neggar) actually means Black-Plowman.

The point of all this info is that when you do the knowledge on this word you find that white called other white the word NIGGER even before they used it as a slur against Black folks. So please feel free to call any white that you know a NIGGER.

Throw Crap Music Under the BUS

February 11th, 2006

I wanted to put a few things into the atmosphere while they were fresh on my mind.

Rap music does not equal the sale of narcotics:
Although entertainment in general is a narcotic, the trade of cocaine, heroin, amphetamines, etc. has been far more disastrous to the fabric of the global family than rap music can ever be. There are so many orphaned and diseased children being raised by their grandmothers or worse because of drugs.

The psychological effect of narotics on the user is debilitation and depression caused by drug use dependency. Listening to CAM’RON may make you depressed but you will more than likely still be able to hold down your day job.

The physiological effects of narcotic usage speak for themselves. You would not want to be in the same room as a hard core heroin user. The smell would make you vomit. There has never been a rap record made that has made me not want to bathe for a month.

Rap music is not a game:
Rap music is a business which generates billions of dollars through the consumerism of various products not related to music. Rap stars sell sody pop, clothing, luxury cars and alcoholic beverages. All these items are non-investment grade and depreciate instantaneously the moment that the consumer takes possession.

I have yet to hear a rap star describe his investment portfolio other than his jewelry. I have yet to watch a commerial where a rap star will even promote the equipment that he uses to ply his trade. The last song that did this was D-NICE’s ‘The TR 808 Is Coming’ which was recorded nearly twenty years ago. The title refers to the Roland TR 808 device which helps producers create the various beats and rhythms that have been the backbone of Hip-Hop music since its beginnings.

If rap music were a game then there would be a clearly defined playing field. There would be limits and rules that govern the players’ behaviors. There would be penalties levied to players who did not adhere to these rules. And most af all, games have a finite timespan where players eventually run out of time.

Rap music is not the truth:
Despite all the credit that KANYE WEST received for his partially correct statement that, “GEORGE BUSH doesn’t care about Black people”, there has been no other truth in rap music. Rappers fabricate everything relating to their stage persona. At the time of this post all the following rappers have claimed to have been successful narcotics dealers prior to their entertainment careers, but none of them have been prosecuted federally or otherwise for what is regarded as a capital offense…

JAY-Z
NAS
T.I.
CAM’RON
JIM JONES
JUELZ SANTANA
PRODIGY
HAVOC
MASE
YOUNG JEEZY
CASH MONEY BABY
LIL’ WAYNE
JUVENILE

At some point you are going to have to decide what you want for your reality because you may not be content with the fantasy that has become mainstream rap music.

“You a slave to a page of my rhyme book”

The President released some more details on Friday about a thwarted terrorist plot in 2002. The President used this example to explain how his domestic spying program is really saving American lives.

With actual results like this its hard to argue with the President about the legality of his eavesdropping measures. The question that I have is more about the timing of this discolsure. It seems that whenever people begin to close in around the legitimacy of the President he distracts them with the threat of violence from an invisible enemy. This causes everyone to duck and cover as if someone were shooting bullets into the air. Its an effective technique, but only when used with discretion. There may come a moment when we Americans need to take out our duct tape and Saran Wrap, but we may not heed the warning because we were previously tricked so often.

The terror plot that was discussed had something to do with an airplane hijacking over Los Angeles. The intercepted phone calls referred to a pair of shoes and a bomb. All I can say is that I am glad that I didn’t have my shoes confiscated when I returned from Paris ‘cuz these bad boys are ‘The Bomb’!
