Nigga
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Nigga is a term used in African-American Vernacular English that began as an eye dialect form of the word nigger (which is derived from the Spanish word negro, meaning black, which in turn comes from Latin niger.)


Use in language
As of 2006, the word nigga is used, without intentional prejudice, among all ethnicities in the United States, including African-Americans, Asian-Americans, and white peoples. [1] [2] [3] In practice, its use and meaning, when used in reference to another individual, is heavily dependent on context.

Like the term nigger, many people continue to see the word nigga as pejorative and its use both in and outside African-American communities remains highly controversial. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, a civil rights group, condemns use of both nigga and nigger [3] and bought the rights to the website nigger.com to prevent online exploitation of the term. [1]

Some African-Americans express considerable offense when referred to as a nigga by white people, but not if they are called the same by other African-Americans, or by some other minority. [3] In this case, the term may be seen as a symbol of fraternity [4], and its use outside a defined social group an unwelcome cultural appropriation. Critics have derided this as a double standard. [1]


Cultural influence
The use of the term may be due to the overwhelming popularity of hip hop music in modern American culture.[5] Such music often features songs that feature the word nigga prominently. Examples include: 50 Cent and The Notorious B.I.G.'s song, Realest Niggas, The Geto Boys' Real Nigga Shit, Ice Cube's The Wrong Nigga To Fuck With, Snoop Doggy Dogg's For All My Niggaz And Bitches, Lil Jon and the East Side Boyz and Ice Cube's Real Nigga Roll Call, Onyx's Bitchasniguz, Tupac Shakur's Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z., and the late Ol' Dirty Bastard's album Nigga Please.

Shakur defined the term NIGGA as an acronym: "Never Ignorant Getting Goals Accomplished" in the lyrics to his song Words of Wisdom, on his 1991 album 2Pacalypse Now. In 1995, two Houston, Texas men filed an application with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for the words "Naturally Intelligent God Gifted Africans", and its acronym. The application was rejected, as were numerous subsequent applications for variations of the word nigga. Most recently, comedian Marlon Wayans twice failed in an attempt to trademark a brand name called Nigga, "featuring clothing, books, music and general merchandise". [5]

thats what it all boils down to.

obviously your gonna know the difference between when someone mouths off and says it derogatorily, and when someone one is just using like another slang word. unless its an idiot who doesn't know when to shut up and crosses the line and puts an er on the end of it. cause that changes everything.

you're overanalyzing it. people imitate what they see others around them do.

[toonz]

[TheSnail]

I think most racists would use the N-er one. I don’t think any clans member would say nigga. So I have to ask yall, has anyone ever heard a racist use nigga?

[Tasuki_Civic]

well dayum i assuem no one thought the clip was funny. lol o'well

[ahmonrah]

yeah, i have. but either way, it's a word, in all it's derivatives, that i, as a complected person whos more likely to be called them, try to refrain from using.

[Fast Shadow]

I think most racists would use the N-er one. I don’t think any clans member would say nigga. So I have to ask yall, has anyone ever heard a racist use nigga?

Yes, and I've seen a lot of racist rednecks driving around listening to rap. Which makes NO SENSE and I always laugh so hard at it.

[thecrazyone]

well like somone said there is always 3 sides to a story. i dont think that the teacher meant it offensively, and it got taken the wrong way, but then again what do u expect to happen.

the kid could have just brushed it off, but nope hes gettin his 15 minutes over what i think is something and nothing.

[TheSnail]

what in the hell kind of question is that? i dont know if i can say that is a stupid one? but i feel like it was.....

The question is: have you heard them use that term?, because I think even they feel it does not mean the same thing as N-er which they use.

[Tasuki_Civic]

Yes, and I've seen a lot of racist rednecks driving around listening to rap. Which makes NO SENSE and I always laugh so hard at it.

now thats a good question....WHY IN THA HELL do white guys who are racsit use tha word but listen to rap and hip hop? and im not saying cause i see a white guy in a dirty truck or a white person with a confederate flag on the front of the car.....but i know some who know others that hate blk pple but listen to rap. its like a big no no

It's so fucking funny when I see that, it's usually high school age kids that throw around racial slurs and try to start fights with other races and then they jump in their trucks and you hear fucking g-unit shit coming out of their speakers as they drive off. That makes me laugh so hard!

[thecrazyone]

i need sum weed!

[quickdodge®]

rut roh...........seen this somewhere before, not sure if it were here though.

I posted that video here a few months ago.

I don't think I've used that word in a few years..

I don't know if you're white or not, but if you are, you should've never used it. Later, QD.

nah ...the teacher meant it in a mockery but he should have know not to pucker his lips to say that to the kid. its a child in school, TEACHERS ARENT ALLOWD TO EVEN HUG CHILDREN why are they aloud to talk like that...? not suitable for work. the teach was out of line regardless of how the boy took it.

[Fast Shadow]

I don't understand dumb racist redneck white kids that listen to rap? I understand them perfectly: They're idiots.

o i know, its completely his fault for saying it, and he should know better.

but at the same time if nothing would have happend about it, it would have ended right there and if none of the kids would have reacted to what he said then the word becomes useless. if they would have accepted him saying it like it was nothing, i highly doubt he would think he could say it whenever he wants. he took a chance and i guess thought his students, which are no strangers to him, would care.

[Tasuki_Civic]

me too

i could second that...lol i havent done that in 3 years...im clean

[quickdodge®]

thas bullshit.... i cant care to argue with this comment. i mean no harm and im not mad its just not worth it.

[LS2ner]

I agree the word should be done with. But the N word in general means stubborn and stingy. Ive heard alot of my black friends say there IS a difference between the N-er word and the N-a word. I think samuel jackson said it best in Coach Carter.

knew I seen it somewhere.

as for my race, it depends on what time of the day and what day of the week it is In all seriousness; I'm black but I don't let racial slurs bring me down. If it did it would defeat the purpose of all the work activist have put in (black & white). Not to mention I shouldn't have a view for or against it because I for one have definitely not gone out of my way to make a change. I have grew up in, went to college and for the most part worked in primarily white environments with the 'good ole boy' system however I fit right in. I even speak proper English, well when I feel the need. Black kids and now adults hate because of it, so I have felt the drama from both ends and I could care less. I gets mine. I've heard of some lower level co-workers who have been called 'boy' or 'nigger' by older more established employees, but I'm yet to hear it myself. Maybe it's because they feel as if I am intelligent enough to actually build a case against them. Instant Pay Day, the American Dream. Bring it on...........

On the other hand, don't get it twisted and let your language slip while I'm in the streets. Been a while since I had a good workout, most give up too easily.
