The word nigga carries way too much weight. Black people dropped the "er" and added an "a" and since then it's been the coolest fucking word in the lexicon. "Nigga" is one of those perfect words, it can be said with affection for a person you fuck with or it can be used derogatorily to lean on your enemies. Nigga is the ultimate noun; we overuse it like Smurfs use the word "smurf". I use the word a lot when I'm around my close friends, I may even use it more than bitch, which is another word that people put way too much stock in. The reason I bring this up is that I've been seeing this self-righteous debate over V-Nasty and Kreayshawn's use of the word.
I could care less if the bitch wants to use nigga in a sentence. "A white girl saying "nigga" oh my god, we have to stop it before it destroys us all!" Get a fucking life. These coon ass Negroes are in an uproar over a word. Where the fuck were these people when George Bush was fucking up the country? Listening to Bob Marley and smoking weed in your mother's basement, nothing to say then. Trolling the internet and throwing shade on a white girl isn't going to change the world dumb ass. Those Holier than thou niggas make me sick, they pick and choose their issues, and most of the time the ones they choose to speak on are basic as hell. There are issues going on in the world bigger than V-Nasty, there are issues going on in your own city bigger than V-Nasty. In the list of things that you should be concerned about in life the word "nigga" should be a non-motherfucking-factor. If you're going to rage against the machine, it shouldn't be over shit like this. You're not a Black Panther homie; you're a hip-hop nerd with too much time on his hands. I remember when I voted for Hillary Clinton and dared a nigga to challenge me on my politics. They couldn't, because none of them cared about politics, they were Sportscenter niggas trying to front. Dudes would claim it wasn't about race and then once I dropped my vote they flipped and told me I was obligated to vote for Barack because he was Black. "He's about change, brother" Tell me something deeper than the shit you picked up on a T-shirt asshole. That's what niggas do; they feel a need to be socially conscious when they aren't.
Can White Girls Say Nigga?
Yes. You can say any word you want to if you have a mouth.
Should A White Girl Say Nigga?
If she wants to. Should I say "Faggot"? No, but I do. Am I homophobic? No. When I direct the word "faggot" at people, they're not gay to my knowledge, but it doesn't matter. It's a word born out of hate and technically a non-homophobe shouldn't be saying it. But I do and I'm not going to write a letter to GLAAD to apologize for it.
"A G needs to go check those white girls" is a comment I read on some site. G's aren't going to check those white girls because real G's don't give a fuck about something that's not affecting their money or livelihood. Those girls sound more comfortable saying "nigga" than Janet Jackson did in Poetic Justice did. Clearly they didn't just pick it up last year. I remember when some stuffy old White dude was outraged when J-Lo said "nigga" on one of those soft ass Murder Inc songs. Clearly they didn't get the memo that Puerto Ricans have a lifetime lease on that word, because he doesn't come from that world. I was raised in Baltimore, it's a predominantly Black city, but since I can remember I've known white girls who have said "nigga" freely. They didn't even bother to justify it by saying their man is black or they're from a hood. Those bitches honestly didn't think it was a no no, and no one ever told them it was. Since I was exposed to this at an early age, it desensitized me to it.
When it came to White males using the word, it took on a different meaning because no one let that fly. I remember the first white dude I heard say nigga. It was in 9th grade and this Paul Wall looking Junior we all called "White Boy Dale" said it in front of me and my boys. My eyes lit up, I couldn't believe it. I looked to his homeboy Maurice, and he quickly said, "Dale what I tell you about that". Dale quickly tried to play it off in front of the new kids in school and apologized to Maurice. Clearly those two were cool with it in private, but White Boy Dale thought it extended to public too. I knew that if he said that in front of the goons they would fuck him up before he could explain himself. Before the school year was up White Boy Dale had his ass kicked several times, once in front of his sexy ass Black girlfriend. White men created the word "nigger" so it's never going to be cool for them to say it, even if they are down. Eminem probably has the biggest white boy pass in history, if he wanted to desensitize the world to the word he probably could have at his peak, but not even he would risk that. Like every other white boy Marshall Mathers is only comfortable saying "nigga" when he's in his car singing alone to rap songs. But White women have always been seen as the unwilling accomplice in the so called "white man injustice" of racism. Thus White Girl Amber won't get punched in the mouth for saying nigga, but White Boy Dale would. I can't explain it, that's just how it is.
The White Girl Mob movement in the Bay area is alarming Black people who haven't seen it before but this isn't anything new. Its slang, I don't care about the history or how loaded it is, it's just a word. I take more offense to fake gang bangers who listen to Weezy and call each other Blood. That word can actually get you murked instantly in the wrong hood. Older Black people have the nerve to tell the youth not to use such a "hateful word" clearly they've missed the transformation of the word, that's why they call rap music "Filth" instead of art, they will never be able to accept the gratuitous use of the word "nigga" in our music. White girls calling each other niggas is nowhere near as racist as Black people who shit on other Black people for being darker than they are. You can scream "Ya black ass" and no one pops off. They don't scream to the heavens they whisper under their breath like Meeka Claxton, and accept it. "She's too dark for that weave or lipstick" That's racism. Saying "nigga" isn't.
Attention people of earth "nigga" is here to stay. No one cares enough to stop using it. I remember when someone said, "use Ninja instead" you're a fucking retard. Why would I say that? You're not a fucking silent assassin who throws shurikens, you're a nigga you can't PG that word. Nigger, Nigga, Nig. That word didn't lynch men in the south, people did. That word didn't kill MLK or Malcolm X, people did. If you're that sensitive over a word then clearly you need a hobby.
