Yea, no going away.
I am to say folks, that twitter is the most pleasant place of them all. You get people who are "pseudo know it alls" but really don't know jackshit and have no reading comprehension amongst the realization that they for one should not be so privy to be upset a word in their language is being so called "cancelled" when its similar to people of another culture to a very racist word. I would say that digga being from Germany and germans using it, you know white people using it is okay itself when it does not mean the n-word but "dude". But yet when you have people being butthurt its being "cancelled" because people assume its close to the n-word and have that right to assume so from all the effect of history towards blacks-you should realize these people are racists. I mean; do black people even live in Germany to even be apart of "German" life-not as much as in America. From my research it seems like Digga came about from the rap/hiphop movements and well were did Hip-hop/Rap come from? The fucking Germans? Yea, just another time where people take black culture and appropriate it. From my research however, Digga actually comes from Dicker meaning someone big. Whilst, this means the word does not mean anything racist-just the fact that you have a whole internet forum on this one german-asian lady being like "Americans are too politically correct for associating the word with the n-word" trying to avoid that possibly it would not exist without the black culture plug in of hiphop and rap and just maybe black people can take issue with the word. Honestly, they can even if the word just means dude. You cannot deprive people of their suspicions by trying to say they are doing you something wrong by having such suspicions.
I am to say that black people are often sidelined in their own fucking creations. Whether anyone who smoke the confederate crack pipe believes it, blacks have built the Americas and are treated like shit.
People appropriate the music and just treat them like crap. Regardless of your privileged dispositions people have been called the "n-word" and next be hurt , attacked and even murdered in the past because of their skin color. This was not a fucking long time ago. If anyone has a grandfather and black, they lived through the worst. "n-word" a common word used to describe black people. I am to say that people should realize they are just speaking to an echo chamber when they distance theirselves from the fact that people have the right to be offended by something when it similar to something they believe can be used against them. You have to realize Germans are the last people who should be spouting shit about people treating/respecting their language. A people who choose to invalidate the rightful feelings of harm blacks can have towards the n-word and even ignoring these feelings are simply those who don't understand the black experience nor give a fuck about it. In simple are just racists.
I read a whole comment section of people trying to convince theirselves the word is not harmful. But really don't understand the cultural context nor historical context or even the black experience. You think Germany is the expert on treating black people with its shoddy third rate hiphop/rap scene as the only place to give a fucking damn about not giving a fuck about them? I think that Germany is the last place a black person would look to solace. I have seen black people from twitter engage that they are afraid to even go out in the different cities because racism exists there. You expect me to believe that black people honestly are well treated in the country with that? Maybe you live in a trite appreciation of a black musical creation but that makes you no expert on black people. Ever care to actual think what would happen if you used the word to a black person in America who does not know the meaning of "digga" and you being white and German would not be the most nice face for the word to be coming from? I think that people would think you said "nigga" and think you were spewing a slur at them. Whilst black people can say the word to each other-its not as if it is the most welcomed term ever. Try ever saying this word to your parents as a black youth and you would be slapped. The thing is that Germans don't live with an accountability for potential racist and racist acts. Maybe you can just get away with having a word like "digga" when you oppress the population that would probably have issues with the word for its similarity to "nigga". Yet America is a different place all together, saying things that will likely be perceived as being racist and have repercussions is nothing to laugh at. You cannot just blame "Americans" for wanting to cancel the word "digga" when there are clear cultural, historical and racial motivations in why they would cancel something like it. To try to shame "Americans" as if they operate in the same political and cultural aspects is to be truly unlearned of America and yea, different cultures can be offended by things that are acceptable in other places. You cannot throw up the peace sign in some places when it is like throwing the middle finger.
Like lol, are you going to make Indians from India eat hamburgers when the cow is sacred in their culture because you think people "cannot cancel a hamburger". Just because you have it does not mean others need to. The conversation I witnessed from this woman being angry that "Americans" are canceling "digga" is just people who understand jack shit about other cultures trying to appease the notion that it is just a simple issue and no feelings and no sovereignty of people can be stepped on. You in the end fail at reaching people when you don't understand where they are coming from or the history behind the country. I mean, America is not just one group of "political correct" people as the people on twitter seemed to think but quiet the opposite. They aren't such a people! We have fucking racists here too but just paint a narrative that paints you as innocent and as if your vision of things is so fucking solid. You live in America, surely you do not at all to understand its history or obviously care enough.
People internationally be fucking hypocrites much of the time when criticizing America. Always painting a picture that is really misinformed literally. Do you actually believe that "Americans" think of theirselves at center of the world and yet you try to impose your understanding on them in a way that does not even reach those who have an issue with your word?(As if your country or values are front and center). Its almost as if you are ignoring the fact of the people who would have the most issue with a word even being people but imposing a general idea on everyone that shows your utter fucking cowardice. If you are going to say some fucking shit, say it and don't beat around the bush? Yet that's what racist do. They don't say what they really mean but say it secretly. I mean, you think you can raise people who have lived in a country their entire lives and know what things are to an America that is not as general as you gather? Honestly, you really want people who are black or else to accept your fucking word, you got to understand that people have a right to be offended when the word is a threat to them and people being treated like people! Smirking that it just means, dude is not going to make any black person(unless they are idiots) just calm down to not escalate things thus I think that people should learn that things aren't going to go away just because you spout your side and form an echo chamber. No, there are two sides of things and maybe with some talks between cultures maybe and just maybe people could/can come to a compromise. English borrows words from many languages. Maybe digga can be used to replace the word nigga that some blacks call each other but yet that won't happen when people put up borders to understanding why people might be offended and just telling them to "chill". You can go fuck yourself.
No one is going to chill and so in that idealism I am thinking about making this idea into a tee shirt. People really need to be irked and really need to not get their way on ever smacking the cheek of real racial qualms no matter as small a word might be to you, it might be extraordinarily apart of a painful reality to others. Be considerate foremost and maybe if you have any displeasure just realize your displeasure is never equal to real valid concerns of people who are often mistreated and discriminated against.
