ok so its ok for emminem to say the word because he dresses in baggy clothes and raps. but if for example "Jesse McCartney" said the word, he'd get shot or jumped. I dont buy the bullshit. thats how i take it. im white and i grew up in the projects and all my friends were black. If one of them said the word their mommma would slap em so hard they'd have a mark for a month, so i didnt grew up around the word and i never said it. I learned the tru meaning of the word so even tho i hear everyone saying it in school and im used to it, i dont say it, even tho sometimes its about to slip out, i dont say it. I know someone whos white who says the word in each sentence and nobody says nothing(all his friends are black) so it dont matter. but i know someone else who said the word whos white and got cussed out by a black person. all im saying is dont get mad if someone of another race says Nigga because yall say it so much that ppl get used to it. its just like the word Bitch. even tho its an insult, ppl use it so much that i start using it witout even noticing. ugh it gets me mad. But for real tho. I really think the word means something else now. it has a new meaning now. yall could agrew with me as much as you want but the word aint the same. and if someone else tries to get mad a someone because they say Nigga im punch em upside the head. now i understand if someoen says NIGGER and means it as a insult to a black person but if they say it in another way dont get mad. the songs hot tho, theres just somethings that are kind contraditory.
