    What Is a Real N*gga? Featuring Special Guest Capri

    In black culture their is the widely known fact that we have turned the word “n***a” into our own term of endearment. It can have many meanings some of which wouldn’t be categorized as endearing at all. Many of the ways we use the word involve compounding it with other words to create totally new terms and labels, such as “Bitch Ass N***a” or “Fake Ass N***a”. However, while not confirmed there is probably no compound of “N***a” more widely used than “Real N***a”. You can ask 100 black people what it means to be a Real N***a and you may get 100 different descriptions. Although they may all include some form of being true to one’s self, I believe this term is truly defined by one’s own view of what it means to be “real” in general which is why it means different things to different people. The urban dictionary defines a real n***a as this: A real n***a is a n***a that is bout what he is bout and isn't afraid to speak up for himself no matter what he faces. Real n****s don't need to call themselves real n****s if they know that they are truly real. Real n****s are there for there n****s no matter the situation they wont bail out like a bitch or give a p***y ass excuses not to be there. Real n****s are about there business and rep what they rep. Real n****s are true and tell it how they see it and don't sugar coat shit. Frankly I think this b******t definition is a big part of the reason this is a valid discussion. I want to answer a multitude of questions about this subject, including but not limited to: Does a real n***a have to be a n***a in the first place? Is a real n***a an inherently negative term because it involves the word n***a? Should a real n***a be defined by certain street activities or is it much broader than that? What or who do you think of when you think of a real n***a? If we can’t agree on what real n***a qualities are, can we agree on what aren’t? We seem to always say real n****s are hard to find, why is that? Specifically for our female guest, what are your feelings about real n****s? What does the word mean to you in the sense of fatherhood, relationships and or dating? Join us for this discussion and an opportunity to learn.
