Yo Caliph! Learn some history! If the word "nigger" or if you want to sugar coat it homie "nigga" is not disrespectful, cats today would not punch the shit out of white boys for using that word. And far as how I get down dude, and my hood get down, a dude could get murdered for some dumb shit like that. And that's reality! So no matter how it's said - it degrades! And if you're Black and popping that craziness in this society then you're not REAL! HOW COULD YOU LOVE YOUR PEOPLE AND KILL THEM ALL IN THE SAME BREATH! GROW UP!
