”You can only be destroyed by believing that you really are what the white world calls a nigger” - James Baldwin.

Arguably no other word in the American speech has more baggage than the word Nigger. People have tried to change its definition, lessen the weight of it by misspelling it Nigga, but nothing really takes the sting from it completely.
Nigger is a word that some people can use, while some people can’t. A word that some embrace while others blame the internalization of that word for the condition of an entire race of people in America.And really, if you think about it, Nigger is a word without a definitive definition. If it had one, there wouldn’t be so many usages vying for the right to be the primary definition.
Some would like it to be just a term like “man” that anyone can use, while others would like the word to remain a disparaging term for a member of any dark-skinned people. Sadly if you use the most common use of the word Nigger as its primary definition, it would still be subject to the race of the individual using it.If blacks are using it, then it could mean friend, man, brother, male.
But that is only if blacks are using it.
Whites cannot use the word Nigger and it mean anything other than all of its derogatory connotations, and that is why so many refuse to even use it.Personally I am at a loss as to how we as Americans can stop using it altogether. If you don’t have the word Nigger, what would we call them? How would we refer to them?Who are these them that I am referring to?Well that is the sticky icky question isn’t it?

The them I am talking about are those people that live on a block with a burned out home every third house but in front of their home is a $60,000 Cadillac.

The them I am talking about are those people that claim to make tens of thousands of dollars a week selling drugs but still live in the most crime ridden, decrepit neighborhoods, surrounded by garbage, packs of stray dogs roaming the streets, drug addicts, prostitutes and homeless all to the soundtrack of police sirens and ambulances.

The them I am talking about spend what little money they have on getting their hair made up, their nails touched up and new clothes on their backs before they buy food for their own children.

The them I am talking about have three children from three different men and she isn’t certain of the identity of any one of their fathers.The them I am talking about are people who actually risk their lives over a brand name pair of gym shoes when they refuse to take them off when they are being robbed at gun point for them.

Why would you rob someone of a pair of gym shoes? Let’s think about that for a second. You can’t eat gym shoes. You can’t live in gym shoes. So you can’t talk about how poor they are and these are crimes of poverty and people just trying to survive. That is crap. These are crimes of people that are drunk with materialism. Crimes of poverty are stealing food, stealing clothing, trespassing on property for shelter from the elements. Crimes of poverty are not robbing people so you walk around wearing a $600 pair of sun glasses.
