by terming the word nigger it differentiates the anti social and criminal minority of blacks from the majority of good, hard working black people.
Thus i argue it is a useful term.

50 cent is a nigger
nelson mandela is not.

No. It's not useful for no working black folk. There are whites and other minorities that are not hard working. Oh and 50 is doing his thang seeing that he the one making the dough. He must be working something.lol

I believe you need to drop making posts like this. It's getting silly and will start arguements. Furthermore, 50 cent does actually work for his money which makes your example null.

thats exactly my point. its all about attitude and behavior, yes 50 cent is making money but his attitude is one of "get rich or die trying". He is a criminal and a bad example to young blacks.

Thus, he is a nigger.

You seem to be defining it differently, though with some of the same nuance than most of society. Even Black people who sue it among themselves, saying they are "reclaiming" the word as their own are deluding themselves. That's like reclaiming toxic waste for your own. It was, is and ever shall be a disrespectful, hateful and disgusting derogatory put-down.

You're an idiot, shut the fuck up.
50 does what he does well. He makes money and gives society what they want. If little gits on the street want to go around pretended to be hard than that's them. Not 50's problem.
