An Analysis: What is the norm?
How can we define what is the norm and what is alternative? To be truthful, we can’t. But at least we can try. Time to analyze!
‘Nigga’ Still Means N**ger
The usage of the word “n**ger” in the black community is irrational, hypocritical, divisive and self-defeating. Most significantly, it insults the memories of slaves and civil right activists who had to endure being called “n**gers” just so we wouldn’t be called that today.
