This piece is harsh, but sometimes truth has to sting before it can wake us up. We owe our ancestors more than casual disrespect disguised as culture, comedy, or familiarity. It is past time we buried that word and called one another by names that carry dignity.

Merit is defined as usefulness to the white supremacy, white privileged, colonizing, nihilist, autocratic republic. America still benefits from maintaining this western world( i.e.,European ) world-view permitting the oppressed( descendants of American chattel slavery in this culture to negatively name call themselves using such words as niggas ). Using words to disrespect fellow citizens are never in vogue.
