1. Dear fellow black people, if we want these words: “negro” and “niggar” to die we’re going to kill them ourselves. These words are still alive because black people use them on themselves and think it is okay to do that. These words are pejorative. I don’t use them.

2. We shouldn’t entertain the argument that it’s okay for a black person to call a black person these words. For these words to die we shouldn’t be picking who uses them. As long as we continue to use these words people from other race will continue to use them.

3. The word “kaffir” is dead in South Africa. I don’t see black South Africans calling themselves “kaffirs”. A derogatory word isn’t less or high derogatory because certain people use it. A derogatory word is derogatory regardless of who uses it.
Kill the word “negro” & “niggar”.
4. Maybe we should start a hashtag #killthewordnegroandniggar. There’s nothing as disappointing and even disgusting as seeing highly educated black people call other black people negro or niggar. Please stop calling yourselves negro or niggar. It’s disgusting!
