NAS is an “ASSHOLE,” someone should give him a T-Shirt with THAT on it…and NO, it’s not alright for you to say the word “N- – - – -”, ’cause if you catch the wrong one on the ‘right day’ of the week, it might cost you your ass!!!

I hate it when STUPID, IGNORANT young men like NAS, try to “FRONT it off” to the rest of the world, as if their IGNORANT-ASSED ideals are so intellectual, and stimulating!!! ANYONE can memorize a few passages from Black History, and twist it all up for the purpose of spreading HIS and HER own “BULLSHIT!!!” After all, isn’t that what RACISTS have done since the beginning of time?
He has certainly done them all a great service, now hasn’t he?, all at the expense VILIFYING “his people.”
Is it any wonder that after being in the music business for over 15years, he’s STILL trying to keep up with the JONES’S, COMBS’S, and JAY-Z’S?
Again, what an ASSHOLE, what an IDIOT, what a FOOL, and what a WASTE!!! Notice how I have managed to describe him so appropriately, without having to call him “N- – - – -”
Dear G _ D in Heaven, why on earth did you have take Dr. KING, Malcolm X, Medgar Evers, etc. and leave us with “the likes” of NAS ESCOBAR? NAS, if you REALLY knew and understood the meaning of your HISTORY, there is no way in the world that you would have made such a BIG FOOL of yourself at last night’s Grammy’s, and in the midst of BLACK HISTORY MONTH…
Yo NAS,
“…You EMBARASS ME; You embarass YOURSELF.”

I like what he did…sure it may offend some people…it just seem like racism is a thing of the past of whites and we deal with this everyday…I was born in the 80s and I’ve been called Nigger & Nigga
Everyone is ignorant to other races…we get images from TV, and in a sense thats how we view them
Heres a key example you see a crew of white dude late teens dressed in baggy jeans and timbs…you think…they likes rap music…or trying to be black…not really a threat…
you see a black dudes dressed the same way…hum…could be some gangstas, some drug dealers, some rappers, possibly an athlete…danger alert
Ive been a victim of the purse clutch in the elevator…and i was glad that white lady was scared…because if just my presence makes you cringe…that you deserve it!!
you see a white dude in a suit…you think…nothing…
you see a black man in a suit…he’s an important dude…not just a regular black guy…but a black guy with class and style…its the images that the media portrays…
Nas is smart…i just hope his efforts are not just some speech but hands on like John Brown did in the 1800′s…now that white dude promoted CHANGE, he is the seed of the Civil Rights movement…if you really wanna get into it

Man, all y’all fuck ass haterz are some bitches for not respecting what Nas is doing.
He is diminishing the power of this word that has affected us for hundreds of years.
We have given this word power and we can take that power away.
I think that everyone needs to look past the word and realize what this man is doing.
Anyone who knows Nas’ music, knows that Nas is always doing something controrversal (Hip-Hop Is Dead) and that he is gonna sell records regardless.
I have never went out and bought a record, but I’m gonna make sure I go and buy Nigger.
I feel like everybody needz to get off his dick and let his nuts hang… Ya Dig?

Hennesy47,
Oh, NAS is a TRUE G, huh?! So what has he done for you lately? You got a spread by CENTRAL PARK? Like, did he buy you a ROLLS ROYCE, a RANGE ROVER? Or maybe he’ll hire you for Security when his WACK-ASSED Album drops!!!
Oh, Please!!! I doubt he would even trust you to VALET Park for him, because YOU HAVE TO MAINTAIN A CERTAIN IMAGE, WHEN YOU’RE TRYING TO KEEP UP WITH “THE JONES’S, COMBS’S and JAY-Z’S!”
Oh, sure!!! You’d be a REAL MAN if you could do all that, huh?!
And as for that other comment…no need to respond to that ignorance, other than you must be SUCKIN’ one, which explains why you probably TALK, and SMELL as bad as you SPELL!!! Is NAS going fix that for your REAL “G” Ass?!!!
Hell No, he’s not even thinking about you…because if he was, he would want the rest of the world to RESPECT YOU!!! But, he doesn’t care that by keeping that WORD ALIVE, he is condeming you to EVERY CURSE THAT GOES ALONG WITH IT!!!
Sean Bell, Charles Campbell, AMADU, MLK, Officer Ridley…the list goes on, and on, and on. All VICTIMS of the perceptions that are attached to that WORD!!!
When the world hears “N – - – - -”, they see YOUR Face, and NO ONE ELSE’S. That’s why that White, “SHOWBIZ 2Nite Lady” was treating NAS and his WIFE like they were a couple of CIRCUS CLOWNS…like BIG NOBODY’S!!!
Matter of fact, THEY might as well JOIN THE DAMNED CIRCUS, and YOU right along with them, since you think it’s COOL for WHITE FOLKS to “mistake” BLACKS for APES, and GORILLA’S…because those are the VERY WORDS that RACIST’S use when telling all their funny little “N- – - – -” JOKES!!! It’s DEEPER and BLACKER than YOU THINK, BECAUSE:
YOU’RE NOT THINKING!!!!!!!!DAMN, LIKE WHAT’S WRONG WITH ALL OF YOU WHO THINK THAT THIS IS COOL?!!!!!!!!
And I don’t even like having to go there with you, BROTHER, but your IGNORANCE gives me few alternatives…
I’m done, man…I guess they should have just kept IMUS on the RADIO, what the HELL do you care?

I think what gets lost in translation here is the differnce between being politically correct and whats real. When Sean Bell gets shot 50 times by the police thats not somthing you can do to a person unless they are a nigger that doesnt happen to everyone just us. So if we own the experience why shouldnt we own the word, thats what Nas is saying.
G Bush’s dad did business with the nazis yet know one will ever call him one or questions his actions. Yet Barack Obama gets slandered as a radical muslim by his opponents even though he hes been a baptist for 20 years. The botom line is Id rather a person like Rush Limbough call Barrack a or myself n**ger and show his ignorance than say stuff like halfrican American and get a pass. White people dont want anything to do with that word with good reason, but if your getting stopped by police 6 times more than other races its fair to call a spade a spade its really sad that we are more concerned with a word than with the real underlying perception issue, an issue that we can address if we make enough people uncomfortable. I think the problem is that we allow people to think that just because they dont use terms that arent PC that
they dont have preconceived notions about people based on race.
We all have at one time subscribed to stereotypes about other races even other nationalities of our own race but put the kids to bed before nas come out because hes no hold barred
bythe way he donated 250000 to Sean Bells family where are the other so called consious rappers

YO’, MONEY BOSS: “LET’S DO THIS, ‘CAUSE I KNOW YOU MEANT THAT 4ME”
I don’t NEED a TRANSLATOR to FIGURE YOU OUT, ’cause you ‘aint sayin’ NOTHIN’! But, I’ll play your little “GAME,” anyway…
CLEARLY, it’s YOU that would rather be POLITICALLY CORRECT than “REAL”, I’m speakin’ ’bout those “STREET POLITICS” that you’re STRUGGLING to promote or dare I say, “WANNA’ BE” a part of…
TRUST; if I were MORE CONCERNED with maintaining an “AIR” of RESPECTABILITY and/or “PC”, as you called it, I would in NO way engage myself in this EMBARRASSING DISCUSSION!!!
WHAT’S REAL IS THIS: SEAN BELL WAS AN INNOCENT YOUNG MAN WHO WAS MURDERED IN COLD BLOOD FOR NO OTHER REASON THAN THE COLOR OF HIS SKIN!!!
SEAN BELL WAS NOT A “N – - – - – !!!” AND I FEEL CONFIDENT THAT HIS PARENTS, WIDOW, CHILDREN, AND ALL THE REST OF LOVED ONES WILL AGREE WITH ME ON THAT!!!
What else is CLEAR, is that you’re DEFENDING a POINT that you DID NOT even COMPREHEND!!!
Please, be my guest and take ANOTHER look at the CLIP; only THIS time, LISTEN a LOT MORE closely…
NAS is attempting to APPROPRIATE the USE of the WORD by proclaiming that “NOT JUST BLACK PEOPLE,” but ALL “poor, innocent, ‘so-called’ ignorant PEOPLE of ALL ETHNICITIES…black, white, dominican, etc…” are “N – - – - – ‘S”
Now that we’ve got THAT out the way, I’ll go on to tell you that I AGREE WITH YOU, what happened to SEAN BELL DOES only happen to US, which PROVES my POINT to begin with:
HE WAS “A VICTIM of ALL the PERCEPTIONS that are ATTACHED to THAT WORD!!!”
You have GOT to be KIDDING when you suggest that PEOPLE of COLOR take OWNERSHIP of the WORD “N – - – - – -!!!”
Do you NOT REALIZE that the very FOUNDATION of this OBSCENE Word is the WHITE MAN’S HATRED, DOMINATION, OWNERSHIP and MANIPULATION of BLACK SLAVES!!!
After all, there WERE and have ALWAYS been since the BEGINNING of TIME, “White Slaves, Dominican Slaves, etc…” But PURE, EVIL, HATRED was RESERVED for the BLACKS, THE ONES they called: “N – - – - -’S”
And that was BEFORE NAS, and that was BEFORE “JOHN LENNON,” (who should have had his ASS WHOOPED for saying it, too!!!)
NAS cannot JUSTIFY his promotion of “that word” by attempting to SIMPLIFY it, because it’s NOT a “simple” thing, it’s a BLACK THANG’—no matter how you SLICE it…
Matter o’ fact, since “YA’LL” DON’T MIND “going back” to being “OPENLY and PUBLICLY” called “N – - – - -”, then let’s REALLY go BACK…
Back to getting LASHED with WHIPS, back to SITTING on the BACK of the BUS, back to being told where you CAN and CANNOT Live, back to being TOLD where you CAN’T drink, eat, or “S- – - “, back to WATER HOSED SHOWERS, back to GITTIN’ LYNCHED, and ALL of that “FUN S- – -” that they used to do to US!!! Because when “THEY” say “N – - – - -”, those are the very things that go along with it, with ONE exception: “You gotta’ be BLACK, too!!!”
I’m NOT saying that people from “OTHER” Ethnicities don’t get DISCRIMINATED against, but WE AS A PEOPLE share a HISTORY that is EXCLUSIVE UNTO OURSELVES!!!
There’s NO NEED for us to “AIR it all OUT,” we already KNOW there’s still alot “WIZARDS” out there and we KNOW how they GET DOWN, but please don’t tell me you’re willing to TOLERATE being called “N – - – - -” to YOUR FACE!!! ‘Cause like it or not, that’s EXACTLY where all of this is going to lead up to, if WE don’t STOP IT in it’s TRACKS…
Does NAS really think that promoting his “N – - – - -” Album will help us MAKE LAW of the VOTING RIGHTS ACT of 1965?
Please! At the rate HE’S going, we’ll all be BACK to PICKIN’ COTTON!…
OOOOOOH, Laaaaawd’—I can SEE it now!!!…NAS’ll be swayin’ thro’ ‘dat ‘ole COTTON field, under ‘dat ‘ole HOT-ASS’, blazin’ GEORGIA SUN, ‘den he gon’ look up yonder to ‘dat ‘ole PERTY’ BLUE SKY in da’ heav’n, and say…
“DAMN…ALL I WANTED TO DO WAS SELL SOME RECORDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I once told a WHITE RACIST BOSS that he “…may as well call me a “N – - – - -” and get it over with…” It was my way of letting him know I’m certain he’s A RACIST, and at any moment the expression was going to “ROLL from out of HIS MOUTH,” but I wasn’t about to put up with him CALLING ME ONE!!! And he wasn’t STUPID enough to say it…
NAS has not given you the true definition of “N – - – - -”. The word “NEGRO” is SPANISH for the COLOR of BLACK. Eventually, the Spanish began to refer to those of DARK SKIN as NEGRO: “BLACK”
BIGOTED, HATE MONGERING RACISTS, and SLAVE TRADERS/OWNERS/CATCHERS made “slang” of the word NEGRO when referring to DARK PEOPLE. That’s how the FILTHY “EXPRESSION” of “NIGGERS,” and or “NIGGA’S” was born, and out of it came the DEVASTATION of a WHOLE NATION!!!
And guess what else, JUST for YOU, I looked the “EXPRESSION” up in the DICTIONARY, and do you want to know what the DICTIONARY said?:
nigger . n. offens. a black person.
THE DEFINITION OF THE WORD IS NOT “INNOCENT, POOR, IGNORANT PEOPLE” and it NEVER was DEFINED as THAT!!!
YET, THERE ACTUALLY WAS A TIME WHEN:
“THE WORDS IGNORANT, and POOR”, and other insulting words were grouped together with the WORD “BLACK” WHEN DEFINING ‘NIGGER’ IN THE DICTIONARY!!!
In recent years, they have removed the words “IGNORANT and POOR” and have chosen to scale it down to the DEFINITION OF:
“A BLACK PERSON”
However, there are some “Politically Correct” Publications that have removed the EXPLETIVE altogether, and I COMMEND them for it!!!
THE BOTTOM LINE IS, IT’S NOT EVEN A “WORD,” BUT A HATEFUL EXPRESSION and WHEN expressed AT an individual, the target is ALWAYS “US”
WE KNOW WE CAN’T GET TOTALLY GET RID OF IT, BUT THAT DOESN’T MEAN WE HAVE TO TOLERATE IT, EITHER!
After all, what’s said BEHIND MY BACK is ONE THING, but SAYING it to MY FACE is ANOTHER!

because they are everything associated with the word except the black part they arent all black… why not take the word and strip it of its power in regards to it being a racist word????? simple… its because people like kahuna want to shun the word adding to its power… they want to kill the word and burry it…. so that way it remains what it has always been… this crippling word…directed at black people…but why?? do you really need something to bitch and complain about? and yes it IS a word… words are nothing but expressions and notions… and what matters is what we apply to it… and no you cant get rid of it… but people sure want to try… talks about making the word itself illegal so that way it has even more power.. so that way someone says it and there is a price to pay…fuck that… why not just associate the word to everyone who fits the fucking description and leaving out the color… so that way its just a word… but noooooo we cant have that now can we…cuz its NIGGER and its degrading etc blah fucking blah…theres more than just color behind the word… and i hate hearing that bullshit about how theres always been slaves but the BLACK people were the ones that had it the worst cuz they just hated the blacks..fuck that.. every slave throughout the history of time itself was treated the exact same way…. funny thing is that while other people were out enslaving there own people black people sold themselves on several occasions…tribes would sell there people off as slaves for explosives gun powders to help them fight themselves but i hardly hear this ever mentioned….because its something that is denied. now im just rambling… its just a fucking word…take away the power and its just a fucking word…but people like kahuna dont want that.. you want it to remain this crippling expression of hate and malice….you know what fuck that…and fuck you for saying it cant be simplified cuz you want it to remain complicated….yet all these complexities keep the word a word filled with hate and a word riddled with power from all angles of thought.

I do not see this kind of fire when 5o cent releases an album full of gang violence. So i suppose violence (the real killer on young black males) is ok but a man promoting racial equality is an issue…..my fault i missed that flash.

THANK YOU JASON FOR PROVING MY POINT! white America buys 60% of hip hop but yet large portions of society remain highly uneducated on black culture IE Jason. This is because most hip hop has very little insight into black history, society, or issues. Some people like Jason have little knowledge to began with so for someone like him music is the only way to get some minimal information. This new album by Nas will provide insights and understandings into black culture that will allow white americans to reject the message of ignorants and bitch slap ignorant racist like Jason into the pages of the hateful aspects of history while serving the dual purpose to empowering black youths, taking the power away from the slur, and being generally poetic in a time of “snap rap” .
It is curious that someone would critique immaturity and offensivness and then embody these things in his response. Race continues to fail? Two words….Barack obama hahaha. Black people have come a long way and will continue on until racial equality is met. Peace among the races.

Im glad he wore the shirt because its been tucked away and on a hush hush statis that even though many of us still deal with racism first hand its like bamm just when you hoped we forgot!!! We didnt forget!!! He didnt wear the shirt to showcase himself as being ignorant, he wore it reminding the people of today of what black men and women have gone through and still is dealing with and Im sure of this because it would be why I’d wear the shirt. Hey, maybe your mad and think he’s ignorant, I think it was heroic and maybe yu were the black man who went through life wanting to be accepted by the white man so you’ve tought yourself to hate everything a black man did, a black man like Nasir Jones!!! It took balls and im sure he knew what type of response he would get but Im sure he didnt care who looked and stared. So go ahead and get upset but its a freedom of speech world. Free to say and wear what we want!

A nigger is a non-white person that is subject to racism (white supremacy). A non-white person is taken, under the SYSTEM of racism (white supremacy), through a process of niggerization.

A non-white person is niggerized to the extent and/or degree they are mistreated on the basis of color.

Do you think the moron who wrote that was BLACK, perchance?
How about this: the solution to ALL ‘racism’.
Allow all the ‘racist’ whites to form their own country in the U.S.A. – just partition off part of the country (it’s big enough) and say that all the ‘racist’ whites can go and live there. After all, no ‘racist’ whites are going to voluntarily stay around blacks and other non-whites, are they?
And voila: problem solved. All the ‘racist’ whites will be gone FOREVER from the lives of black folk. No more wondering if that cop has pulled you over because you were driving while black. No more wondering during a job interview if ‘whitey’ secretly (or not so secretly) hates you, and won’t give you the job, because you’re black.
The only problem, of course, is that 99% of whites would choose to live in the all white country, wouldn’t they…

To hear the ignorance written by Hennessy 47 gives me the indication that all real G’s are these Bros in the Rap videos that disrespect all women, (of which, 90% of Rap vids the Sista’s are demeaned and reduced to a pair of ass cheeks or breasts;” they’re all Bitches; but not my MOMS” ) The “N” word is never said in a positive situation because the definition is neg. Some Bros call each other that word but when a White person calls them that they’re ready to whip that ass!! I never liked Nas and it’s a shame that with his Uncreative ass he would go to this extent for publicity for a ALBUM? In the coming weeks the world will witness history.Those that went through the unbearable times will finally be blessed for their suffering. Although this is a great moment for “ALL People of Color”it’s also a Gr8 day for the USA. Not long ago it wasn’t possible for us to use the same toilets, ride in the FRONT of the bus, or even play sports with the MAN!! Hate and Ignorance, are 2 things that have helped keep America the Racist country it is. Isn’t it time to realize that WE need each other? Think of the children. I just hope “THOSE HATERS” give Mr. Obama a chance and don’t put out the fire too soon!! Nas will never REPRESENT like the real G’s in the past and like Public Enemy said, I don’t wanna be called no “N&^^^*&*!!

If Jesse Jackson wasnt so goddamn ignorant and racist, there would be no such thing as racism. NAACP is keeping racism alive.

What kind of sick shit is this? If you want to be accepted in a normal society don’t wear a shirt saying NIGGER. He’s a sell out anyway like all the other mainstream Justin Biebers. This is so stupid. I’m gonna get a shirt that says CRACKER!
