Once again - and this is not to condone the word in its diluted stage - NIGGER does not have the same connotation as NIGGA(H) to Blacks. Understand? You call a black (even if you're black) nigger, and it's the same if it came out the mouth of a whiteboy in an ascot. Neither word helps blacks, but as I said, this is an attempt to turn the negativity associated with that word, and make it something positive to BLACKS. It's the same as women calling each other "bitch", but getting DEATHLY defensive if a male says it. Surely the use of vernacular and colloquials was covered in some of your English classes.

It really is shocking to see the legitimate amount of ignorance and social ineptitude of some of the "young, white crowd" on this forum. Just plain stupidity regarding shit on this forum is one thing (it's funny and passes the time here) - but this level of ridiculousness makes me start taking notes on what areas of the US or abroad NOT to stop by.
