What?!!!
I personally haven't heard her use of the word because my musical preference is christian.
However, to comment on anyone not of the African American race using the word is just outrageous. But why should you be offended when someone calls you such-if you use it on a day to day basis.
I am a female of color-my ancestors are a great melting pot of mainly African American or at least that's the dominance by my skin color.
If you had a son who was handicapped and some called him straight up retarded would you be offended by that? They are just stating a fact right. How do you know they didn't mean retarded in a "good" way? Exactly!
As educated individuals, most of us having and seeking college degrees how can we allow ourselves to be degraded. You don't hear white people calling each other crackers and rednecks, italians calling each other wops, chinese saying what's up chink, etc etc. So why should it be said what's up my nig?
If I'm not mistaken aren't you making the ancient definition of Nigga mean "person of color specifically african americans".
So many people wonder why other cultures look down on US. Ever think it could be that some people don't respect our own race enough to make something positive for addressing each other.
Instead, they'd rather kill each other up over chump change for drugs and armory. Your pockets are only temporarily fat. What happens when you get to be 30 and 40 if you make it that long? What happens when you get caught? What happens when you sell someone some imitation? Etc etc. How do you really think drugs are brought over here? And why do you think they will ban Marilyn Mason and keep kill a nig.
Do you really think we've traveled far enough in time that it doesn't matter anymore?
What can you say for our race?
How many know all the words to the "Negro" National Anthem?
What holidays are truly African American Holidays?
Why does the Holacost get all respect and slavery gets pushed over like it's a crutch for black people?
Why do black people still feel inferior to whites?
Remember the saying together we stand, apart we fall?
Who would be afraid of something that is afraid of itself?
