Dean Atta say: I'm nobody n*****, I say: I'm nobody b*****

On Monday 13, Mr Aronson show us a video of an African-British rapper called Dean Atta where he talked about the word n***** and how African-American rappers believe is a reclaimed word. Here is the video:

 As you watched the video, you can look that Atta gives a little of context from where the "word" came and how this word it can not be used as a merely play. The word hurt a lot of people back there and today too, except that the young persons use it regularly.

Reading other partner's blogs I have been thinking of how young persons believe that the n-word is not a unrespectful word and that Atta misunderstood the words of the rappers that defend the word. I can not understand this, I really can not. The n-word is a word use for almost all the years the US were colonized, during the Civil War, the Depression, until the fight for the Civil Rights. Almost every young African-American use the n-word but only they can use it if someone dare to say it to them is an offense.

Like you read it on the last paragraph that's one thing a person told me when I was in High School. Only the African-American can say the n-word. Something strange for me, because I grew up knowing the word was used to offended African-Americans and I was surprised that they use it like it was something natural and more when the person, who tell me this, said that I can not said it unless I were African-American.

With all this matter of the n-word I can only think about the future of young latinos. What will happen if in the future young Latinos "reclaimed" the words "beaners" and "wetbacks"?. If African-American "reclaimed" a word used to offend them I don't see how different this is to a future where Latinos will called themselves "beaners" or "wetbacks". I don't know if this future will exist but something I assure: "I'm Nobody Beaner".
