Suge Knight is offended when people call him African American, because he's NOT African. On the other hand, he doesn't have a problem with the word, "Ni**a."

Suge says it's offensive to label all Black people African American. And he goes further ... he thinks it's ridiculous that only rappers can use the word, "Ni**a." He thinks if it can be used by some, it should be used by all.

At first his theory sounds a little shocking, but maybe he has a point.

[Hal-9000]

guys who sits next to me says he'd rather be called colored than an African American...

:-k

I thought Suge Knight was in jail?

Quit getting offended. Make it like cunt in Scotland v cunt in the US. Once the stigma is gone, so is the power of the word.

The problem is the concept of ownership. That's a bad strategy and always has been. When a group takes sole ownership of a word, and yet bans everyone else, they play into the stereotypes they are trying to undermine. Don't own it, make it ubiquitous and blasé.

My former Italian in laws used to say "Mouli" all the time.

Never heard stunod for nigger before.

[DemonGeminiX]

It doesn't mean nigger, it means idiot, dumbass, moron, etc...

Everybody I grew up with used to say, "You fuckin' Mouli". Moulinyan actually means "eggplant".

Public Enemy frontman Chuck D has a message for anyone buying into Suge Knight's take on the n-word -- tossing around that epithet is vile and disrespectful to the Civil Rights movement ... no matter how much it's overused in popular music today.
As we reported, Suge proposed a controversial idea this week -- eliminating the term "African-American" ... because he feels it's inaccurate ... and instead going with "ni**a."

Chuck D agrees "African-American" isn't a perfect term since a white person could technically be African-American too -- but insists the n-word ... with an 'a' or 'er' ... is too rooted in bloody history and oppression to be used loosely.

Put more poetically by Chuck -- "Being called Black in America is the struggle to keep us moving and breathing over bloody water. Being a Nig**r or [Ni**a] without the context of history is like drowning in bloody water, dragging down those yet knowing to swim."

Chuck D, a Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, added -- he thinks rappers show a lack creativity when they use the n-word "more than 3 times a song. It's lazy. Especially when out of context."

In other words ... don't believe the hype.

[DemonGeminiX]

Fight the power, Chuck.
