There is a difference between Nigg"A" and Nigg"ER". Nigger is a derogatory word that was given to the black race. But nigga, although derived from nigger, is totally different. Nigga, as stated before, is word of endearment. Some may say there is no difference but I have a question for those people: Do you get mad when your friends use the word nigga and they are reffering to you? But let a white person say the word nigga or nigger, we would be ready to fight. It's offensive coming out of the mouth of an another race when they are refering to us. But its acceptable when blacks use it. Do you correct other races like the asians, latinos that use the word? They're not black, do they have a right to use the word? Does it matter if they are refering to one another and not refering to us? Nigga is one of the most controversial words out there today but it is also used within differnt races. Just like we use it like a friendship word, thats how other races use it.

Author: sunshine [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 17:46:47 05/06/02 Mon I don't know if there is a difference between Nigger and Nigga, I just think that someone didn't pronounce it clearly you know what i mean. Like alright = aight or girl = gurl. People really don't know how to pronounce their words. It really could have been a misunderstanding. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
