Book Description
In the following work, there are three separate but related works. The first work focuses on the power of language, the specific example being that of the so-called "n" word. There are several key thoughts and questions worth keeping in mind as you read the first work, The Village of Nigger-Nigga. First, the more "forbidden" or "taboo" something is, the more powerful it becomes. In view of that, the question arises: "Who benefits from the negative power created by preserving the "n" word as a "taboo"?" Primarily, if not exclusively, so-called "white" or "non-black" people. In other words, those who would use it as a "weapon" to hurt others emotionally. And who suffers from the negative power created by preserving the "n" word as a "taboo"?" Primarily, if not exclusively, so-called "black" or "non-white" people. Conversely, who would benefit by neutralizing the negative meaning/use of the word "nigger" and/or giving it a new and positive meaning? Virtually, all of society in general, both here in America as well as the world at large. Although the first work, The Village of Nigger-Nigga, is a work of fiction in the strictest sense, there is a significant degree of linguistic truth in principle regarding the message of this short story. For example, unlikely as it may seem in terms of the feasibility of converting the "n" word from something negative to a positive, linguistically speaking, language is more than sufficiently capable of accommodating such a change. The second work, Corruption...a Precondition for Power, addresses the matter of power in general. In terms of the message in this essay, it can readily be applied to the other two works, The Village of Nigger-Nigga and Nigger Music.

Author: Jabari Asim Publisher: HMH ISBN: 0547524943 Category : History Languages : en Pages : 288
Book Description
A renowned cultural critic untangles the twisted history and future of racism through its most volatile word. The N Word reveals how the term “nigger” has both reflected and spread the scourge of bigotry in America over the four hundred years since it was first spoken on our shores. Jabari Asim pinpoints Thomas Jefferson as the source of our enduring image of the “nigger.” In a seminal but now obscure essay, Jefferson marshaled a welter of pseudoscience to define the stereotype of a shiftless child-man with huge appetites and stunted self-control. Asim reveals how nineteenth-century “science” then colluded with popular culture to amplify this slander. What began as false generalizations became institutionalized in every corner of our society: the arts and sciences, sports, the law, and on the streets. Asim’s conclusion is as original as his premise. He argues that even when uttered with the opposite intent by hipsters and hip-hop icons, the slur helps keep blacks at the bottom of America’s socioeconomic ladder. But Asim also proves there is a place for the word in the mouths and on the pens of those who truly understand its twisted history—from Mark Twain to Dave Chappelle to Mos Def. Only when we know its legacy can we loosen this slur’s grip on our national psyche.

Book Description
Black people live with indoctrinated struggles through injustice systems and discriminations that I call, "The Spirit of a Nigga." This attitude is still perpetuated in the established institutions of: Finance, Housing, Education, Health Care, Employment, Social and Judiciary Systems, etc. throughout all of the United States of America. The mirroring of ourselves through these historical and fictional stories will help us honor our Black History, as we engage in the preservation, and continuation of, "The Black Experience." "No nigga's here, just family."

Book Description
People are acting as if there are no consequences to their action. Niggas keep letting the same bitch lock him up and keep going back to her. Women are letting these bitch ass niggas run these sorry ass games, making it harder for real men to come into their lives because they've been abused mentally and physically by these fuck niggas. The world is so sensitive and quick to get in their feelings which is causing the world to lose its fucking mind because there is no foundation in these young grasshoppers. Everyone follows the crowd instead of questioning the crowd.The reason for this book to inspire the ain't-shit bitches and niggas in the world to stop the madness. These misguided and undecided people are just some lost souls that don't have that person to give them a blueprint on how life is going to come at their ass full speed or let them know that there are decisions that will be made that can alter their lives if they're not careful. I hope to help people see value in themselves rather than depend on someone else, or even social media, to tell them who they are and how to live because, these days, people will make you feel as if your happiness doesn't mean shit if they don't have anything to gain from it. I want to help people stop trying to get validation from these bitch ass niggas who are not even qualified to direct them.

Book Description
The mother of rap superstar Kanye West shares her experiences on being a single mother raising a celebrity. As the mother of hip-hop superstar Kanye West, Donda West has watched her son grow from a brilliant baby boy with all the intimations of fame and fortune to one of the hottest rappers on the music scene. And she has every right to be proud: she raised her son with strong moral values, teaching him right from wrong and helping him become the man he is today. In Raising Kanye, Donda not only pays homage to her famous son but reflects on all the things she learned about being his mother along the way. Featuring never-before-seen photos and compelling personal anecdotes, Donda's powerful and inspiring memoir reveals everything from the difficulties she faced as a single mother in the African American community to her later experiences as Kanye's manager as he rose to superstardom. Speaking frankly about her son's reputation as a "Mama's Boy," and his memorable public outbursts about gay rights and President George W. Bush, Donda supports her son without exception, and here she shares the invaluable wisdom she has taken away from each experience—passion, tolerance, patience, and above all, always telling the truth. Ultimately, she not only expresses what her famously talented son has meant to her but what he has meant to music and an entire generation.
