NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER

Go figure. It's a screwed up world. Being middle class or white in America is not what is used to be.

I saw a bit of Trayvon Martin's friend and trial witness, Rachel Jeantel, interviewed on Piers Morgan last night. This bit reminded me of some of usernames's posts on the subject of the "N" word.

I fully understand “my nigger” my Bangladeshi friend “Jim” always says “what's up my nigger?” Even though I'm a snowflake WASP and if I'm listening to a rap song and the MC says nigger at the top of his voice so do I if I'm singing along NIGGER!

All this nigga/nigger stuff sounds like semantics to me but obviously it isn't to her.

The term used when calling a person black, nigger, nigga, colored, have over time been embraced and then rejected by the Afro-American community over the past 40 years. Even the NAACP whose organization has "Colored' as part of the acronym in its title now rejects the very word 'colored' when used to describe Afro-Americans. To me it speaks more to Afro-American dissatisfaction with-in the culture as they try to find the 'magic' word to remedy this self-loathing. Tearing a people away from all ancestral ties and subordinating them under the subjugation and slavery of others has far reaching consequences for both the subjugated and the oppressor.

Personally, that argument only works for me when I'm dealing with people who have been personally affected by that period of time.

I agree CN. Nigga/nigger, semantics. If I went to a black ghetto and started saying "yo' nigga" all over the place, I don't think that would be well received by some either.

Would you be saying that if your parents had to use seperate rest rooms because of the colour of their skin upto and including the 1960s?

Would you be saying that if any of your grandparents had been lynched because of the colour of their skin?

Your man has native indian blood has he forgotten and got over the way the paleface treated his people?

I find your lack of perspective and empathy disturbing young padawan.

You know why there are so many super fit niggers in US sport don't you?

Slavery! The slave owners bred the fittest slaves with the other fittest slaves to create superslaves who could work in the plantation for longer.

If that was your racial legacy would you be falling over yourself to forgive and forget?

Huh?

[Duchess]

Holy shit. I said "unless personally affected" or words to that effect.

Now you're talking! Slaves.

Maybe they are part of my legacy. I have an unnatural desire to be a slave owner and it's well documented.

[Maggot]

All the slaves work at Mcdonalds and Walmart, now they are "paid" slaves. At least it keeps them out of trouble and off the bus and good bathrooms. But I like watermelon just like any other nigga.

Not just the US, but world wide both black men and women tend to have more muscle mass at an early age than any other race. Why is that? If the theory that all humans and chimps share a common ancestor is true then maybe black people are just more closely related.

Biology and genetics, you're doing it wrong!

Everybodys great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great grandmother was a nigger.

There is just no getting around that fact of life.

We ALL got the nigger gene no matter how dilute it might now be we ALL got it brothers and sisters. Africa is the cradle of human civilisation.

One of my Eagles was at a concert recently (with his coach and other players) and after having a few beers got into some kind of altercation with security and was caught on tape calling him a nigger. Now he's apologizing to everyone and their brother. The Eagles hit him with a significant fine and now I'm waiting to see what the NFL does to him. Riley will be apologizing to his teammates tonight.

I don't like the word police. I don't like that people are basically forced to publicly apologize for using that word. It's a word, a goddamn word. People are foolish to assign it such power. Someone is probably itching to give me some background on that nasty word and tell me about the power it does have. I've heard it all before.

Nigger Nigger Nigger

*sigh* I KNOW it's a bad word, the whole world knows but why does it always have to be such a big deal.

[Duchess]

Bah. I ranted when I should have kept my mouth shut. Riley was a boob & little kids wear his jersey. I know why he had to apologize.

Crow tastes horrible.

Meh, I still don't care that he used the word. Referring to someone as a "colored person" is considered offensive these days and yet we still have the NAACP.

Fuck 'em. Niggers don't own the word.

The non niggers of the world need to form the NAAWP to combat the NAACP.

As for them owning the word, they sort of do right now, since our world is curently goverened by a Head Nigger!

I'm still thinking about this bullshit this morning. Michael Vick's brother has put a bounty on Riley's head. A thousand bucks to any free safety or strong safety who lights Riley's ass up on the field. Marcus Vick is a nigger for tweeting that. If I were black I would never let a word control my actions & I can think of way more offensive words to be called than nigger.

Sometimes I think blacks like that word, it gives them something to bitch about. Don't act like a nigger & you won't be called one.
