I'm getting pretty tired of these racial threads. This is how it really is, anyone who disagrees is just plain ignorant. The word nigga and the word nigger are two totally different words with different meanings.
Nigger was intended on being derogitory towards blacks. It was a word that slave owners used to generalize their servants. This word was then taken, after slavery was over, and used to try and keep blacks generalized as slaves.
Nigga is a totally different word in the fact that it is not derogitory at all. It is a word that people use to show a bonding. People say "Yo, that's my nigga," meaning they are close and they would do anything for them, they are not calling them their slave.
I hope this helps all of you bitches.....
