Mean Mugg, it's not a cop out.. I already said what I say, we are just going to keep going on in circles...you said only younger, ignorant blaccs use the word nigga but you are wrong ass fucc..you probably think that cause you only hear it in music by younger blaccs or the ones you hang out around or whatever.. but you wouldn't know that older ones said the shit cause they're not in your circle of aqaintances.. i know blaccs in their 30s, 40s, and even 50's that say nigga.. i dont call my grandma nigga because i choose not too, but shes called me nigga before.. and my uncles and aunts, moms, father, and their cousins say the shit.. i dont give a fucc what you've studied in class or whatever, i can fuccin major in african study and i still couldnt relate to that culture, regardless of how much i thought i knew and im of blacc decent! the underlying fact would be that ill still be on the outside looking in, just like you are now. i said what i said 3 post ago, so theres no cop out, you're just not getting it..you take a white dude and he calls me nigga i might be able to restrain myself because i think he was corny, but you take that same white dude and he calls me a nigger ill knocc his fuccin head off with no hesitation.. there's years of hate behind that word.. i understand where you comin from with that internalized racism approach, you're basically saying we're content with the detrogatory remark and learned to accept it but that's not the fuccin case, its not acceptable for anybody outside our race to say or refer to us as a nigger.. a nigga wasnt responsible for the fucced up shit done to my people, it was a white man that said nigger
