Sucka Nigga

Yo I start to flinch, as I try not to say it
But my lips is like the oowop as I start to spray it
My lips is like a oowop as I start to spray it
My lips is like a oowop as I start to spray the... Q-Tip from "Sucka Nigga"

Nigger. Yep the Honest Man is putting out there right now. Why would I do that? Why haven't you spewed it in past posts? What's the point of this? Is it okay for me (me = reader) to say it now? Don't worry I'm going to hopefully address most of these questions and then some in my rant today. The reason we're here is thanks the infamous Dr. Laura rant on August 10 AND my conscience, the good Reverend Doctor Page asking me what the Honest Man thought about it. Well fear no more, it's time to get the show started....

Let's start first with the actual rant. Quick summary, black female caller calls in, explains her problems she's been having being married to a white male, Dr Laura weighs in with her opinion. During the conversation, Dr. Laura ask for specific examples of racism, black female literally says "N-word", Dr Laura just shoots out like it's no problem "Nigger". Then says it repeatedly, saying because it's said on HBO all the time. By now, you know the backlash Dr. Laura got, her quick "apology" the following day, and then her show getting pulled earlier this week.

Before I address Dr. Laura, let me address the word "Nigger". I'm not even gonna front like I don't say it. I do. Have been for the past 20 or so years. Of course, I say "Nigga" not "Nigger". Regardless of the spelling, the meaning is the same. Term of endearment between myself and my peeps. Do I say it in front of my non black friends, co-workers, acquaintances? Hell no! I don't even say it in front of my parents. Do I say it on the regular like I eat 3 meals a day everyday? Nope. Usually it just happens. Do I have problems with non black friends, co-workers, or acquaintances saying the word in front of me? Absolutely. I don't care if we have similar melanin makeup, you say it, I'm immediately losing respect for you and possibly wanting to throw blows. Just the way it is.

Well how come you can say it Honest Man and I (the non black person) cannot? Doesn't seem logical to me nor fair? I hate when people try to play the victim card. Like you are suffering from psychological damage because black folks aren't okay with you saying the word. Does it seem logical that black dominated neighborhoods in major cities are eyesores (horrible food selections, liquor stores everywhere, pisspoor schools, rundown streets)? Of course not, but it's just accepted. So you should accept that if you gonna spit "Nigger" in front of someone, be warned of the consequence, like how Davis got knocked he fuck out by a black dude for saying the word like he was a bruh.

Why haven't you said the word before in past posts? This one's pretty easy. It's the same reason I don't say "Nigga" in front of anyone that isn't black. By me saying the word, it's a like a traffic light that turns green. That's meaning I'm giving you the okay to drive or in this case say "nigga." I definitely don't want that happening. Not in any form or fashion. I went to an all white high school and a few times, a couple of cats spit out the word and would follow up with "But you're not one Honest Man!" And I'm going but that makes it okay for you to say it?!?!? Drove me crazy and honestly if I had more physical backup, we would have traded blows. The other half of the equation is as I get older, I try to be more mindful of dropping "Nigga" as I do realize it's a term that's very impactful and I don't want my kids going around yelling "Yo Nigga what's up" at like 5 yrs old.

So back to Dr. Laura. She was wrong. In every facet of the way. I don't care what point you are trying to make nor the context. That's just ignorance on her part. And to play the HBO card, is even dumber. She does not have the right to say that word. Her point didn't even make sense as she tried to tie to black people voting for Obama because he is black. Does that mean white people voted for Bush because he is white? Just saying if you gonna go down that path?

The true thing is in today's world, we are all extremely sensitive when it comes to race. So sensitive that we don't even want to use words like "black", "white", "indian" when trying to describe something. That's crazy. If you ask me, can you describe this person, I'm going to say the goofy white muthaphucka over there. Don't overthink it. YOu know you not supposed to say these terms describing people: Honky, Cracker, Nigger, Spic, Spearchucker, Sand Nigger, Charlie, Himy, Wetback, Coon, Cunt, Faggot, Carpet Muncher. Probably leaving off many but you get my drift.

Today's Lesson

The Honest Man said Nigga for the first time in the blog's history. Crazy I've held on to saying it that long :-). But dont think that means that a get out of jail free card for you to go out and say it. Like I said, if you okay with suffering the same consequence as Davis, be my guest. But don't be like how come you can say it, I cannot type bullshit. Because that will get you smacked...AGAIN AND AGAIN.
