My black friend doesn't like the use of the word "******"

[Mazer Rackus]

Or any variation of it. He told me that a lot of black people had to suffer because of people who used that word.

I told him that the more people use that word, the less power it has. If people keep using it, the word will take on a new meaning. Now wouldn't that be a real victory?

He agreed to the logic I was employing. Now look, little suburban white kids trying to be "gangsta" use that word to be cool. Who would've imagined that?

So if you want to spoil the negative meaning of the word "******", you should use it often and encourage everyone you know to do the same. In time we can transform it completely into a term of endearment.

I think they use 'nigga'.

I don't think you'll see "******" on any many hip hop lyric sheets.

C.UNT
KUNA = meant both Mother Earth in BASQUE old Indo European language and YONI
hahahahaRY meaning Earth Goddess = country
As late as 1700 English peasantry still used this word hahahaha with respect. Often it would be associated with a river or a township by a river mouth (river CUNNIT, now the river Kennet; township in Roman times called CUNETIO
since 1740 this word C.UNT had been held to be obscene and was a legal offence to print it in full, thus the Partridge Dict of Slang (1726) writes the word C*NT (Silbury treasure 110)
VULVA is the accepted replacement for C.UNT
KALI is one of the titles of the great Devi of ancient India, the goddess was called KUNTI yoni of the UNIVERSE
Many words and concepts come from this ancient word
CUNINA the Roman Goddess who guards children in the cradle
CUNABULA cradle, earliest abode, the place where everythig is nurtured in its beginnings
CUNICLE a passageway (underground); a hole
CUNNE; to enquire into, to explore, to have experience of, to prove, to test, to taste
CUNNING; to know, possessing a practical skill, able, skilful, clever, possessing a magical knowledge
1874 "I threatened to prosecute the village CUNNING WOMAN whose herbal knowledge and other wisdom continued to be held in high esteem by the villagers" (Silbury 112)
KUNTA (Norse) gave rise to the family of words such as KIN OF THE KUNT

[mpulse]

I can understand that...but it seems that the black artists are the ones that seem to make it ok to use that word and keep it alive.
