A True Meaning of the N Word

[MrArce26]

Negus thats a good one. I always said ninja cause ninjas are black. But that word is awsome.... thanx for setting the record straight....

[popetongo1234]

Because knowledge is POWER ! brother !!!

[MrKoreyhendricks]

No ur the one thats ignorant my brotha.... the term nigger is what racists call blacks. Not negus... so there fore u r the ignorant one

[Xelanderthomas]

@MrKoreyhendricks Once again there are people you don't get satire or sacarsm and take my video comedic videos at way too seriously at face value. The joke of video is the play on the word Negus which means King, setting up the series of phrases that normally use the word King reworded using Negus, that all it is. ...you get or don't my brotha...peace out.

[crazynutt45]

People call me a racist because i use the word, but im not using it in a hateful way towards ANY race, I use it just as a word to say. I dont think about black people when i say it. How does this make me a racist? Because im white? No, no, THAT my friend is racism.

[Xelanderthomas]

@crazynutt45 I understand your logic. To limit or judge you because of your skin color is just as racist.

Although I do have to say, I'm not compelled to use words that are considered racial slurs to other people. Like for instances the words "kike" or "spik" or "whap" or even, since I'm living in Germany "kraut" etc...never springs to my mind to use them. I don't understand why someone has such a deep need to use them but to each his own.

[crazynutt45]

@Xelanderthomas But I don't think those words are used when talking to a friend in Germany, like in America. It's come to be such a common thing in rap music, comedy routines, and just walking around the street it just picks up into someones vocabulary and then you just start saying it even when no one is around. It's just like a regular swear word. I know it's not a good thing to say but it's not like I mean to say it on purpose or for some type of hate reason.

[Xelanderthomas]

@crazynutt45 Yeah, I know what you mean. I think a for a lot of people both black & white it's more like a swear word. Something you kind of know it's not proper to use, like you wouldn't use it around your parents or some place where you were expected to be respectable. But for others it more than that.

[crazynutt45]

@Xelanderthomas exactly

[SiggiNebel]

@Xelanderthomas Do you feel that "kraut" is really offensive? It sure is kind of pejorative, like "Ami" in German for Americans, but I never had the impression that it's a true offense. It's strange with those kind of nicknames for foreign nations and ethnic groups. They may have rather different levels of rather friendly up or down to really hateful connotations.

Do you know why they are so tall?!

Because their knee grows.

[6958921]

=D peace

[6958921]

Nigger means Black in Latin and thats it ignorants !!!

[Xelanderthomas]

@6958921 the Latin adjective is niger, meaning the colour "black"

niger not nigger - like the Niger river ;-/

peace

[tresckow]

@Xelanderthomas

all the negusses man...XD a negusdom for a horse! niger ake detour through spanish negro-black man i guess. by the way gotta love the boys face when it turns out to be correct.

[SiggiNebel]

@tresckow The negus can do no wrong!

[nighthawk793]

If you are using the term nigger to cause harm to somebody, then you are racist. No argument. The word is only as bad as the person saying it. However, people like Chris Rock, Dave Chapelle, and Eddie Murphy have shown that it doesn't always have to be offensive. It is only a word, and the word itself is not what angers people. It is the hate that some people put behind it.

[Xelanderthomas]

@nighthawk793 very true.

[Jamil131millz]

lol

[Sonnie55]

You and your word play. What a waste when you're misunderstood. Then again, I have to wonder if that drives you even more. Hands down, you own when it comes to having power with context of the English language--maybe German too but I can't read German. I can even appreciate that over half your crowd is left wondering about just that. lol Okay, let me have my Xelander fix :) Sonnie

[pyrointeam]

Es hört sich an als ob er sagt:

N-e-g-u-s, Niggers!

loooool

Negros,Neger,Nigger ...all means the same: Black.

I think its pushed too much, esp. by the blackz themselves.

My grandma (germany / i'm german) also says "Neger" when she speaks about Africans. And she doesn't mean it in humiliating way. Its been made a swearword over time. This is a shame.

[Xelanderthomas]

Negro, Neger means black and are legit terms, but Nigger doesn't mean black. It was, is and always will be an offensive term whether you like it or not and no matter who is using. Not saying you can't use it but don't say it's something it's not. And it's not another word for black as is Negro and Neger. Saying Nigger is the same as Neger is like saying Kraut is the same as German, or Spic the same as Spanish, or Chink as Chinese. You can use em if you want but don't bullshit about it.

[pyrointeam]

Ok than I take it back. Sry.

But you can call me Kraut if you like ;)

But that the word "Nigger" is mostly used by Blacks themselves is true, isn't it?

Here in Germany no one really uses the word.

I don't use it myself.

Sry if you felt offended bout what i said. I really thought it's meaning all the same.

[SiggiNebel]

@Xelanderthomas "Neger"/"negro" was used and never felt to be offensive up to the eighties, I'd say. Martin Luther king used it, for example. After that time it got to be suspected as racist. I suspect this embarrassment. I think, people who feel embarrassed by the word, actually are embarrassed by they own hidden rasicsm. They feel like a racist when they hear it, because there's something racist deep inside them, they would not admit to themselves. So they rather ban the word.

[astmapiippu]

Well to be serious. Niger simply means black in latin. Also many Africans countries practically use the "N -word" in their countries name like Nigeria and Niger.

[SiggiNebel]

@astmapiippu It's doubtful b.t.w., if the name of river Niger ("Nigeria", officially "Rebublic of Niger" is only derived from it) really goes back to the Latin word "niger. The European form of name, however, might be influenced by "niger" in a kind of misunderstanding or wrong ethymology.

[frankie07921]

excellent! hahahahah :-)

[Vellz1]

funny stuff bruh!

[theXduffers]

dayum what a negus ;p

[Imthesubscriber]

lol look at the kids facial expression

[teden20]

funny! as hell! best everyone go back to take English, all over again. God save the negus! lol

[Zenkka]

hahaha that was hilarious!!!

[tukuniata]

That was words of the negus.

[member887]

that was pretty neat LOL. Your pretty good and nice responses ^_^

[padamanmatt]

The ending was amazing

[JohnLWright]

you are a great vlogger

[Xelanderthomas]

thanks John

[SalvatoreDeCicco]

i think using the n word is ok beacause i use the n word as a black subsitute for dude likw i would say to my cousins or friends yo nigga hows it hangin but it is not ok for any one thats not African to say it like fat joe hes clearly white hispanic and he uses the n word

[Xelanderthomas]

Yeah, it's just hard to tell people that I can use a word but you can't. That gets tricky. The white boy listening to Snoop feels he has just as much right to repeat the lyric as his black friend does. Get me?

[SalvatoreDeCicco]

yeah i get you my white friends listen to hip hop and rap same as i but when the nigga bit comes on they shut there mouth but when im not around i bet thell be saying it endlessly

[Xelanderthomas]

Of course they say it because the lyrics are fun. "...ain't nuthin but a g-thang baaby, two loped out niggers cause we craay..." that shits bomb. It' funky, rthymic, catchy..how can you listen to that and not repeat. It's 100% unfair, as far as I am concerned to say "you can listen to and support the music, buy it and shit, but you can't repeat it" whaaaat?

[ZillX]

Man i hate this. Im black and i dont say it, and i start fights with any other race that says it.

[Xelanderthomas]

Well, that's good, at least you hold yourself to the same standard you want to demand of other people. It's not fair for you to use it and say others can't. But, damn bro, try to chill on the violence - fighting people - because of a word. Trust me there's far greater things for you to physically fight for in life than a nasty word. It's a word, you ain't gonna stop words from existing. Fight words wtih words, more effective. You'll live longer with less chance of going to jail.

Peace.

[NlGGERlovethatword]

damn man you on point, me and all white boys can only dream of being a Negus, I've tried like a mfer but can never be fully accepted only a partial membership, I aint givin up

[SiggiNebel]

@ZillX If I may ask you this question: why only "with any other race"? I don't hink this question is as naive as it might appear.

[ZillX]

@SiggiNebel That was a while back. My thoughts and opinions have changed since i grew older. Im 20 now. I still dont say it, and dont like when other ppl say it. If i hear it, i simply address it in a joking, but serious manner. People usually respect that.

[SiggiNebel]

@SiggiNebel Yeah, 2 years, a lot of time when you're young. Still I wonder why blacks say it today. Up to a point it's certainly a provocation, maybe even a challenge (I can say it, but c'mon, will you dare?), but I think, it's also a sign of a shaky selfrespect, and an attempt to get along with it by overdoing, for facing contempt all the time is suggestive, and one may need lots of inner strength not adopt it in a way - one of the appalling traces of racism.

[rryanrreed]

LOL! this is awesome!

[Xelanderthomas]

thanks Ryan

[Knk082]

havent laughed so hard in so long

[ArmageddonAfterparty]

A horse, a horse, my Negusdom for a horse? Negus-sized bed and Negusfishers flying overhead, watching Negus-Kong on tv.

Na ja, und so weiter und so fort Alter. ^^

[Xelanderthomas]

lustig! ;)

[alded03]

i absolutely love this guys bits xD

[onjoFilms]

Maybe next video you can explain the true meaning of the 'S' word. Sandnegus. I think they are King of all the oil, but not sure.

[FenerAttack]

LOL! awesome dude :)

[MGSGeneral]

Personally I think 'negus' is pronounced differently, but nevertheless a great video

[Xelanderthomas]

I'm going off the pronounciation that the spelling bee people use on the video. They are the experts. That's why it go my attention. The pronouce it nee - guss (listen to it.)

[MGSGeneral]

I thought of the Latin pronounciation, in which case it would've been nee-goose. After having it looked up on different sites, it does turn out to be pronounced as nee-guss. My bad....

[Xelanderthomas]

wow, thanks for all you hard work ;)

[MichiganWinters]

Can you lend a negus a pencil?

[jthunder73]

That was pretty cool! Loved the humpty dumpty part and the end.

[FromUnderTheRock]

[P00P0STER0US]

lol now I feel educated, thanks for that :)

[fromruinstudio]

Oh man you crack me up..... I would have spelled it wrong LOL

[darktoadthesticky]

Great video.

[guerino07]

Nigger is actually the pet name for the Nigerians as Gypsie is the pet name for the moorish travellers mistaken for Egyptians.

[Ralastar]

The word Nigger is just like a gun. It's just a word. Only people give it power. It could have happened to any word or sound made by a human being. Just stop giving it power, and it will cease to be anything but a sound.

[Xelanderthomas]

Now someone gave you a thumbs down for this comment. I have no idea why. It's absolutely true what you say. If we don't empower words who does. The word is just a word, the concept behind is man made. This video's comedy plays on that. Slang is the best example of that. How is something cool, "cool"? Cool is cool because we make it "cool"

[Ralastar]

I know. But just like a gun, the word can be loaded, and therefore, deadly. So...Jesus, man. I don't have the answer. I just wish we could dismiss the ridiculous squiggly lines all our ancestors drew on the map of the world, look at one another , and see the human that we all see in the mirror in the dark when we are alone.

[Brianswers]

I couldnt hear what the boy was saying, but I got the general idea. lol

[neuronsactivated]

it sure made that kid happy at 1:30.

trying to sound it out makes my tongue and jaws hurt, like when I try to say croissant.

[Xelanderthomas]

I am aways amazed a spelling bee contestants. They way they know enough about words to guess the spelling from the origin etc. I suck. I am dictionary man myself lol

[PinkAcidTV]

roflmao dude negus

[hoomelemele1]

Negus please

[gerry2345]

Great...... I laughed like a negus..

[larvinc]

Michael Jackson negus of pop :D

[VirtuallyAddicted]

I try to avoid all N words. Just to be safe. :P

[ActionMan147]

The only trouble is this, your mispronouncing it :D ...

[Xelanderthomas]

No, listen to the video of the spelling bee. I am copying how they pronounced it. Spelling bee judges are experts on stuff like - lol - see that's the whole point of the video. Without that spelling bee pronouciation there would joke .... get it? :D

[ecawildcats123]

This is hilarious. :)

[intellaricovision]

You're a negus of comedy! =D

[intellaricovision]

lol

[NeonWar1]

LMAO!

I laughed so much, fairplay lad, seriously :]

[Ranblv]

[Xelanderthomas]

I promise to never be a niggardly negus, that would be very unnegus in my opinion and negate my negusship

[audionautix]

brilliant, as always! You're the negus of comedy!

[crabstickz]

Amazing video! I'm tweeting it!

[Cleverreason]

My Nigusdom for a horse.

[NLPNVC]

LoL there is a book you might have a lot of fun playing with because it combines to hot buttons together. It's called "The n*&&er bible." The author, Robert DeCoy, makes the argument that the word originally meant queen or king. Anyway, what could be more fun to play with than both the bible and the nword. Cheers.

[Xelanderthomas]

You're right. I have to get that.

[CUTWEST]

ROFL!
