Writing for the Public

Draft 1

The real word is Nigger or negres in french but in the street or slang we said nigga which pronunce the same but difderent way of written.This word nigger (nigga), that we use today has is relate to our history as black people in the 17th century at slavery time.This history begin with these country in Europe England,France,Spain and others by colonies small island and bring black people from africa.Due to the facts,the african people has an different skin colors to them they called them nigger (nigga).Since this word has stick to our mind and never get away from generation and generation. At that it was normal for a white persone to call a black person nigger(nigga) just to remind them their difference and they role which at that slave.

 

However,after several years things as been change where the word nigger (nigga) is an insult for the black people and not allow a white persone to call them that way.Its considered as an racist act to call a black persorn nigger(nigga) and they would be a bad concequences for this person if a lot of black people are present.On the other hand,black people call each other nigger (nigga),and they feel confortable with that.Futhermore, a lot of rapper using the in their songs which promote it more to the street and school sometimes.In addition most black movies m

Use that word toward the actor.Nowdays, the word nigger (nigga) concern the type of person who saying it and it will not be easy to take it away from the black people because they feel confortable with it.

 

From my own experience I grow up in an country where the most are black and where we use the word nigger (negres) a lot.However,not a lot of people know the meaning because we grow up and see our parents and grand parents saying it.In addition, the teachers and director at school using the word a lot like it doesn’t mean nothing.Despite, I know the meaning of the I can’t stop myself from saying it because as a black persorn I can not any negative reaction from anybody.As a result, it become a normal word for us where you will find in a books where the author express himself of being proud to be a nigger(negres).The percentage of light skin people in the country is not that much but they also use the word nigger between themselves and others people.However,it doesnt matter for anybody because we see each other as the same people.

 

Surprisingly the elder do not call each other nigger(nigga)because they considered it as a lack of respect toward them.This explain that only teenager using these word to each other.Despite,the elder wants to keep word out our mouth them hip hop music could not allow us to stop using it.On tv the word nigger is considered as curse word,everytime someone using the word they have to do something to cut it so the children and other could not hear it.For a lot of people that word remind them a lot of bad experience back in the day with the white people.

 

Nowadays its really important for someone to know the meaning and the history of that word nigger (nigga).In addition people should know when they should call someone nigger ,for example at some work place even both person are black they banned this word for anybody.That mean if someone using that word nigger at the work place doesnt matter their color they will get in trouble and some bad consequences might come behind.Futhermore,when a female is in relationship with a black men instead of saying my husband or boyfriend they use the word nigger(nigga) which doenst sound bad to anybody.After several it become a normal thing for them to call their lovely men nigger(nigga) and they dont feel any type of direspect about it.

 

In conclusion I think the word nigger (nigga) become a word that a group of people are allow to said.In addition for us black people to saying it to each other is sound different than when another person from another race saying it.However,its not accpetable to a teeanager to call a a elder nigger (nigga) its mean direspecful toward them.Also ,I agree with some place of works or institution that banded that word for both sides because it sound weird sometimes to call a colleague or work partners nigger (nigga).Its cosicered as a street language between teenager it feel normal for us to call each other like and we feel proud of it.That the reason any coversation we have we include the word nigga in it.I think by growing up and meet more people we can get ride of that word it might take some hard time but by not saying it  for a while will works  for us

    Kervens, I’d suggest three things for the final draft.

    1: I think you should have some paragraphs about the word spelled “nigga” and some paragraphs about it spelled with the “er” ending because the two spellings have VERY different meanings. I don’t think it makes sense to talk about the word “nigga” and the word “nigger” like they are the same word.

    2. I might suggest showing some scenes of you (or people you know) using the word– or maybe the elders discouraging use of the word. That is, show this word in action.

    3. Can you tell us more about the origin of the word?
