The "N" Word

The word nigger traces back to Ancient Egyptian times. The word nigger originally means God, and it is a sacred and divined word. During these times, the word was spelled NGR and pronounced en-ger. Look at each part of African pronounces, spell, and have a different meaning of the word nigger. Any word that begins with an n is either people, god, and groups. During those times, Black is worship as gods. Here is an example (Link) 
N-g-r (Egyptian;pronounced en-jer) = God
N-t-y-r (Egypt; pronounced net-ger) = God, Devine
Negash (Ethiopia; one-gash) = King
Negus (Ethiopia; ne-goos) = Emperor
Nkosi (Xhosa; en-kosi) = God
Ndaba (Zulu; en-daba) = Council/Officials,
Naga (East Indian, Nubian = People
Nugarmarta (West African = People

So how did the word nigger go from being a marvelous word to a trained word? Let us go to Roman/European (Caucasian People). So people already know that these groups of people are the ones to misuse the word. Since the beginning of time, they have been misusing the word, not just during slavery. (What people typically think the word nigger started. To the Roman/ European people, nigger means black. Since the Romans lives in Europe and Central Asia and they knew Africans were living there at the time, The Orginal Meaning Of The "N" Word) (MORE Information)Look at how the Roman/European made a bad impact on the word nigger. Now they how other countries misusing the word, for example: 

Niger = (Latin or Black/African pronounced "ni-ger.")
Nero = Italian for Black
Negre = French for Black
Negro = Spanish for Black
The English called Blacks "Moore" or "Black-a-Moore" before using the word.
"Negro" to refer to Blacks. FROM THAT WORD CAME THE RACIAL EPITHET, "NIGG.."
After the Roman/European switch, the word's meaning and had other countries using this offensive word.  The only person who considered nigger was them because other countries had used the word as a color with a different spelling( even though it all started with the letter “N” )and different pronunciations. In french, the color black in their language is Noir, but when it is towards a black person, it means Negre, but if it was a black woman,n she is called negress. So that shows people how one can mean two different things and become a misinterpreted word. Other countries did not know until they got taught the word.

So people now get to see that it did not only start in American. It was brought to American. People were always taught that White Americans had started the word when Africans were brought to  America.  Do not believe that because readers see that the word was brought into America. The word did become an insulting word in American until the 19th century (A Note On The Word "Nigger"), but we know that is not true. But remember when I stated in the  Mississippi Riches to Rags Blog that Black was considered property and not citizens in America. Hence, they considered them as niggers and not blacks, especially in the Southern states. Blacks did not gain citizenship until July 1868 (14th Amendment was applied to the Constitution. Even though Black got citizenship in American, they still got called niggers, because Americans made sure at the end of the day, they are still property and humans. Black still got treated like Animals. But in the oxford dictionary, many different definitions of the word nigger, from black to calling a person who does menial labor any person considered to be of low social status.  To be honest, anybody can be a nigger at this point even though they so-called targeting blacks in the definition because people see that nigger means black and see that others how they are doing hard-working labor and lower-class people. Remember, the dictionary did not put black people in the definition. Remember how people defined nigger as lazy and ignorant remember, anybody can be a nigger.  When a black person is being called a nigger, remember the word's true definition. The websites like dictionary.com will say that nigger means a contemptuous term for a black or dark-skinned person. The word's definition has been changed so many times throughout our time.

Colorism: Black Complexion In America

Colorism is a form of discrimination or prejudice against individuals with darker or lighter skin tones of the same race. Throughout society, many Blacks have been discriminated against his/her skin color even if his/her is darker complex. Many people have heard the phrase. 
“If you are not lighter than this brown paper bag. You can not become a member nor be accepted. Your pretty/handsome for a dark or light skin person.”  Many blacks have been called names by their own people because of their skin tone. It has gotten to the point that people will bleach their faces to be accepted by others.  In the media, blacks like Lil Kim, Sammy Sosa, Nicki Minaj, and others have bleached their face either because they did not like their skin tone or industry. To be honest, it is not just in the industry people face colorism. People everywhere are facing colorism throughout society.  From the beginning of slavery up to the present, Colorism has been a big deal in America. Americans had found a way to keep blacks divided by separating the darks from lights. They started by keeping light skin blacks as house slaves and dark skin blacks as field slaves. There is a book called “ How To Make A Slave.” by Willie Lynch talks about colorism and how to keep blacks divided from each other.  People never heard of the book and should read it. In the book, he talks about colorism, and he stated How the master needs to turn the dark skin slave against the light skin slave and vice versa. The book talks about blacks should be turned against each other because of the color of his/her skin. In society, blacks are doing what society wants us to do. Black even talks about how his/her school, family members, friends, and public places use to be bullied and could not do certain activities because of their skin tone.  This is an example: In the movie Antwan Fisher, When Antwan was a little boy, his foster mother, “ Ms.Tate,” used to abuse and mistreat Antwan because he was of a darker complexion. Ms. Tate uses to take the other foster kids that were lighter completed to church and other places and leave Antwan at the house with Ms.Tate’s daughter, who sexually abused Antwan Fisher. Their many stories made a child scrub their faces to make their skin lighter.
 People could not even get jobs and build a career with their degree, especially if they wanted to become famous. In the ’90s, in the music and acting industry turning lighter and dark complexion people against each other was a big thing and still is until this day. Black could never understand that we are doing what society wants us to do, discriminate, and break each other down by our skin color. Black does not see that Black complexion is beautiful, and people do not need to be a lighter skin tone to be beautiful. I am not finished with this blog, but it will be continued.

False Teachers

Throughout years, people have heard of the saying " A wolf in sheep's clothing." People might have heard the saying reading the bible, listening to sermons, or even from people telling stories. One well know scriptures that people are aware of is Matthew 7:15 and it says  “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. False prophets are the type of people to use and manipulate others. They do this to others because false teachers are covetous people. Another word they will take from others like money because they are greedy people. False Teachers are not only just preacher they can also be any type of leaders. For a fact, there are seven types of false teachers people should be aware of.
The Heretic, Charlatan, Prophet, Abuser, Divider, Tickler, and Speculator. A heretic is a teacher who denies the doctrine of the Christian faith. and takes what God forbids and celebrates and will deny Jesus. The heretic is the most dangerous false teacher. The bible talks about the heretic on 2 Peter 2:1 and 2 Chronicles 11:4.  The Charlatan is a false teacher that only thinks his/her self and takes Christianity as an advantage to make money and take from other people. The Charlatan only cares about his/her self but is never satisfied. The bible talks about the Charlatan on Revelations 21:8 and 2 Chronicles 11:13-15. The Prophet is a false teacher who talks about the Revelation from God. He/she gets people to believe in the word in place of the bible. He/she will say that God gave him/her this word. The prophet will bring false words to the people. The bible talks about prophets on Mathew 7:15 and 1 John 4:1-6.  The Abuser is a false teacher who will feed into lust and sexual needs. He/She will abuse people like men women, and children to gain what he wants from people to gain a platform for his/her self. The bible talks about Abuser on 1 Timothy 1:10. The Divider is a false teacher who divides the church by telling people in the church that this person can not be trusted. He/she will turn members against church members in the church. The bible talks about the Divider on Romans 11:12-36. The tickler tries to become popular by listening to what the people have to say and wants.  He/she will give the word that the people in the church want to hear. The bible talks about the tickler on 2 Timothy 4:3. The speculator is a false teacher who likes to be heard. He.she will take Christianity and try to find codes and others of the gospel in the bible. The bible talks about the speculator on 1 Timothy 1:4. This will help many people identify what is a false teacher there are many other types of false teachers. Reading the scriptures will give people a better understanding of recognizing each false teachers.

Public School's Reduce and Free Lunches

During the year 1946, Richard B. Russell started the National School Lunch Program for public and non-profit schools. President Harry Truman had signed off on the law. The reason for the program is to provide low cost and free lunch for children In public schools around the United States, children are starving at school due to not having enough money to pay for their food. Many people are having questions on why should he/she have pay for their children’s food and the school is providing free education. Why should income matters? If education is free why not food? Questions need to be answered about why certain children can not get free lunch, because of parents’ income.  Parents and guardians want to know how can their kids pass their tests and function in class without having any food in his/her stomachs. The reason why public schools have children to pay for lunch is that when public schools offer free and reduced programs to see if the child can get free lunch. If the school has a high free and reduce the school will get taxpayer funding. People have questions and answers that need to be giving to the public. People are trying to figure parents can go to jail for not feeding nor taking care of their children. The children can be taken away.  If the school does the same to a child who does not have enough money or no money it is okay. They will blame the parents for not giving the child money. The school even has gotten as far as calling the foster system because the parent not giving money to the child. People are saying that does not make any sense at all. Cafeteria workers putting their job on the line to let children pass through with their trays to eat instead of making the child throw them away. When cafeteria workers do that they will get fired from their jobs. Three months ago Donald Trump made a proposal to have one million or more children taken off free lunch. So if parents that are on food stamps and it gets taking away from them. The child will have to start paying for food to eat in schools.  For a child to get free food in school the parent or guardian income has to between 130% to 185% of the poverty rate, receiving SNAP or TANF for reducing lunch for children. The free lunch supposed to be shutting down in March of 2022. Every child will be coming out of pocket to pay for lunch. The public schools can charge whatever they want to get food in the cafeteria. Food waste is always a problem in society, and the food could be donated to the less fortunate. A critical aspect of society is educating students about the importance of consuming all their food rather than throwing it away.

Rosanna's Bio


Hello! My name is Rosanna Head. I am twenty-three years old. I was born in Tupelo, Mississippi.  I was named after my mother's great-grandmother. There are eight family members whose name is Rosanna.  I have one older brother and I am the youngest. My mother used to be an elementary school teacher, work for the courthouse, and a few more jobs. My dad is a Christan Methodist Episcopal at Friendship CME Church in Fulton, Mississippi. He has been pastoring there for twenty-three years. He owns three businesses. I started working at the age of seventeen at McDonald's. Having my first job taught me why I should stay in school and taught me life lessons. I was basically sheltered while growing up so I really never face reality while growing up. So, working I graduated from Tupelo High School on May 15, 2015. I played basketball, track, and field events, volleyball, and bowling. I also did a lot of film work, editing recording, photoshopping, basically dealt with theater throughout high school. I was going to take what I know how to do and make a career out of it.  After I graduated from Tupelo High School I attended  Itawamba Community College in Fulton, MS from 2015 to 2017. I had wanted to go into filming basically the stuff I did in high school, but it wasn't offered. I decided to go ahead and major in psychology because  I had wanted to become a Psychiatrist, but  I  changed my major three to six times. I went from being psychology to a computer engineer major. I know what I had wanted to do, but it was not offered at  Itawamba Community College.  I just stuck with General Studies. I did not get far with that at all because  I got overwhelmed with school because I know what I wanted to do but just was not at the college. I was working in factories and other jobs just to support myself in school and in general.  I originally had wanted to go to an HBCU  since I was little. My family had stopped me from going and wanted me to go to school close to home. I felt like that was the worst decision 1ever made by going to Itawamba Community College. I knew what I had wanted to do with my life but things went left. People kept telling me to know you should not do this and it's not a good idea. I was living everybody else's dreams but mines. It is crazy how it took from 2018 to present to finally do what I want to do. It took me to come to  Lane College an  HBCU to finally have a chance to do what I wanted to do with my life. I finally get to do what I want to do in 2018 to present.
