"Negus"

The black race since slavery, has tried to soften the blow of its horrendous effects in every way possible.
We have gone as far as to convert the derogatory term “Nigger” to “Nigga” in hopes of transforming the word itself into something positive. The fact still remains that “Nigger” or any other word derived from this term, should never be used to characterize Black People. Our ancestors were made to believe that they were lesser forms of the human race, and even today, centuries after the fact, racism is still in effect.

So why is the life of this word being prolonged? Why is it allowed to be used as everyday slang, even leaking into the vocabulary of other races. This word is a depiction of ignorance, iniquity, and of all things negative. Every time you use the word “Nigga” you are re-opening a wound in your ancestors back, re-lynching the dead, and denying simple human rights. Why regress, when Leaders in our community like Martin Luther King, and Malcolm X, have died trying their hardest to move forward.
Well, today is the day to walk in a new direction, to eradicate the negative and to embrace a new beginning. The word Negus, looking very much like the “N” word, but possessing a more superior and inspirational meaning, is a much better choice of word that can and should be used to distinguish our people. Negus is an Ethiopian word subsequently used to interpret the word King. Today, it is a common term defining anyone in power or of high stature.

The Negus Movement asks this question, “Are you a Negus” or are you a “Nigga”
Will you build yourself up from the foundation set by mighty Ethiopian Kings, or will you continue to waver upon the foundation of the word “Nigger” Do you have what it takes to wear this crown, to overcome the trials and tribulations set forth by ignorance, or will you continue on that unfortunate journey of self-degradation.
“The Negus makes the crown… are you a Negus”?
