NIGGA NIGGER NIGGAS NIGGAHHHHHHH! I know for some this word is like death! The ultimate insult and I am trying to bring myself out of the double standard that has been set, for it's use. If you are pink, use it and you die but my question today is why? Brandon has a link on his page that links to video of the white teacher who called a young black boy a nigga/nigger/niggah. Imma post it here for your viewing pleasure. "I didn't see nothing wrong with saying Nigga" Now because I am a mother my first instinct is to kick his funky white butt, but why? I mean in our culture the word is acceptable and this Great debate has been going on. I know some black people rather you not use the word in their presence and if I can I try to honor that. But let's face it...we live in a society full of niggas/niggahs. Those Niggas make my head hurt. You know who the niggas are..the ones who were on tv looting and making all of New Orleans look bad. They weren't stealing food and diapers and meds needed for survival during that horrible ordeal. NOOOOOOOOOO those niggas were stealing tv's dvd players jewelery...I mean all of the electricity was out and our houses were basically floating where in the hell were u gonna hook up a tv? Niggas! You saw this Nigga on tv...remember him? This scene set black people back 100 years not to mention the way the NIGGAS turned the Superdome into a ghetto, robbing raping killing and selling drugs, reducing mothers with babies to sell there bodies for needed supplies for their children. When these Niggas should have been men and gave that stuff to those mothers and children.

I digress...Back to the topic at hand. The teacher made a good point but because he is Pink he shouldn't have used the word in any context out loud...but my question is why? Because he is Pink? I listen to those lil Niggas call each other niggas all day...even the girls use the word. What needs to happen is a retraining of thoughts and this is just my opinion. If we as a race gonna beat the shit outta anyone outside our race for using the word Nigga then we shouldn't use it as a term of endearment within the race period. If we continue to use it then they should be allowed to use it. Plain and simple.

What up Nigga? That's my Niggahhhhhh! Nigga where my money? Nigga don't do that! Come here Nigga? Nigga stop lying? Nigga lets go to the club? Nigga that bitch be on it! Where all my niggas at? Nigga you a fool. Nigga wont you lend a nigga some money? Oh I cant wait to to see that nigga. Imma beat that Niggas ass! My all time favorite...I wish somebody would call me a Nigga!

Those were just a few that rolled off the top of my head. Now me being me...Me can be very moody so if he woulda called my oldest son a nigga and said my son called him one first I could believe it but would not chastise Jon for beating that ass good for him cause that is what would happen. Now moody me would have beat his ass right off the flip if he would have called Jeff a Nigga why? WHo knows I'm moody like that sometimes I let things roll off of me but most times I don't. I didn't leave myself out of this retraining of the double standard that needs to take place. We all need to take a class called Nigga 101 If they can't use it Neither can we.

Ok I haven't lost enough weight yet and my soap box just broke so I guess I'm done for now.
