Brother man, no moths were drawn to your candle of enlightenment. You are not thinking ‘Never Ignorant Getting Goals Accomplished’ when you say, ‘Who dat nigga trying to talk to my girl’ or ‘What the f— is that nigga looking at,’ or when you say, ‘Nigga please,’ or any other nigga reference. It is not a term of endearment. It’s a term that reduces value of black life and black existence. A nigger/nigga/nigro means more than an ignorant person. It underlines all the stereotypes about black folks and rolls them into one five- or six-letter word. That is not to say black people hold the patent on ignorance, or that white people cannot be ignorant. But the word doesn’t stick to them the way it sticks to us. Until the word is no longer instantly synonymous with black people, it should be avoided and retired from our vocabularies, lest someone wrongfully equate the two.
