    • i'm going to assume you want a response to your upload:
      all that we have created this world from has been developed by the most subtle of symbols^ there are symbols everywhere that we can examine to determine
      the beginnings of creation^
      there are symbols that offend, such as crucifixes, swastikas, crosses etc.^ there are symbols that intrigue such as astrological signs, geometric shapes like triangles and so on^ look around you the next time you are out in public and notice the triangles that represent the ideas of business^ when i think about symbols it is difficult to imagine discarding any one of them for they are artifacts of who we are as a collective people^
      even as i look at your youthful face explaining your views on the word, "nigger"-you do mean the word "nigger", right and not niggah/ nigga/ngh/nghah/ngah/nggh...^ it saddens me how the same explanation about a word can become so cliche'^
      i don't like weaved hair because i think that for the most part black women aren't loving themselves enough to appreciate their own natural hair but i don't go around telling black women how they should love themselves because self-love is knowing that others should be allowed to grow in their own love, in their own time; just as, i'm sure you will some day come to see how the word is simply a symbol of language that deserves life and freedom^ "they" tried to bury this word and what happened:nothing^ symbols cannot be buried for archeologist will simply resurrect them^ in the case of "ngah" it is a superword of sorts; the only time it is incapacitated is when white folks try to use it^ it doesn't make sense for white people to use this beautiful symbol of love because they had their chance to share in the joy of its beauty and their ancestors desecrated it^ (and please, this statement is nothing against beautiful white folks who have given the world the concept of freedom^) for what purpose would they want to use this word? i don't understand^ i think this is a question that should be raised until it is answered or becomes a worn out cliche'^
      now, mind you, i don't use the word "nggh" in every day talk, i've tried^ but it doesn't roll off my tongue as beautifully as it does a brothah or sistah from the "hood"^ i'm a true lover of language, and a equal opportunist for all words from all languages^
      i think that the word "nggh" embarrasses many people and that is the underlining factor in why many people can't bare to hear it, or want to say it^ in my view this word is sacred just as the tetragrammaton is sacred amongst the hebrews and should be treated as such^ if you study ethiopian language you'll find that it means "king"^ and keep searching you will find more interesting facts on this gloriously indestructible symbol of grandeur^

      thank you for video,
      lord ngah najmah
      ps. i was raised in the hood, but i trained myself away fromfrom colloquialism to fit into mainstream america, unfortunately, it never accepted me^ but that's alright, because i'm fluently in hood-dialect and standard english and i get to say niggah, niggah , niggah if i choose to^
      peace!!!
