Krew, I did most of my growing up in the city of Detroit, and although my skin is fair, my views and actions are far, far, far more radical and to the left than even some of the borderline 5-percenter friends that I have had. The concept of race is a fallacious cognitive construct with absolutely no biological foundation in reality.
Class is what keeps poor people poor, and rich people rich. And all of this attention to race is just pure divide-and-conquer methodology used to keep the masses from ever doing things together, that I can't believe for the life of me, is still allowed to work so efficaciously even in this supposed time of knowledge and progress.
With regards to the word, "nigger," you should know that most younger white people don't even have it in their vocabularies--you need to go back a generation or two for that kind of pervasiveness of its usage. In fact, I think you're operating in kind of a myopic, subjective bubble if you truly think that white kids out in suburbs where they do not even see black people that often, even think about black people.
And by the way, it's white "man," not white "boy"--I'm 40 years old there, player.
i don't know about the rest of you but i see white kids (especially skaters) saying nigger all the time, whether it be nigger or a variation of the word; and i've had to bang a few kids out for it.
your rhetoric is amusing though-your replies are like a verbose variation of "i hang out with a lot of black people so i know..."
The white kids using the "nigga" is a byproduct of one thing and one thing alone--rap and hip hop, and the culture surrounding it. If one is going to market such potentially racially and culturally charged music to white kids (in fact, if one is going to make the success of the industry contingent on sales to white kids), and not think that the emulation of these things is inevitable, than one is childlike in one's naivety.
I should have qualified my "rhetoric" with, "for good or ill," because half of what I have seen and experienced coming up in that treacherous, failed, distraught fucking city, I would just assume forget. Your hoary, old cliche--"i hang out with a lot of black people so i know"--is just yet another example of how black folks are making it so even commiserative whites are being cornered into a position where it is hard to give a fuck, because it is a waste of time.
To put this in your terms, I don't "know," and, I couldn't give a fuck.
Luckily
actually effectual black leaders like Cornell West, Angela Davis, Randall Kennedy, etc. are not mired in all of the hollow cliches of the day, and encourage open-minded engagement and discourse...eh?
