there’s niggers and then… hell, there’s niggers
as an early hater of race-based haters, i long ago advocated moving nigger into the rotation as a pejorative for any race, figuring it would defuse naturally a nasty word.
well damned if it hasn’t happened to a point, despite the phony years of many white racists claiming in defense of their nigger-flinging that there can be white niggers, while at the same time never using the word against anybody but blacks. sadly though, the result now is that instead of just watering down the word, white kids have begun behaving as what the word previously described.
i live in a fairly redneck area of the country, despite its close proximity to DC. i almost can’t believe my ears lately. these slacker whites punks are speaking nonstop jiveass black and behaving far worse than blacks their parents denounced on sight. they shake their heads and swoop their hands through the air to beat the most disingenuous blacks. this habitual jive talk is no different in cause and result than the happy talk slung on most TV news programs. it’s an affected manner for scared faggots to hide behind — dishonesty at its worst. scared punks.
yet still the parents of these shitbirds curse “niggers” (meaning blacks) regularly when around only whites. maybe they should open their eyes. or their ears. fuckers, niggers is what came from your punkass loins.
when i owned a recording studio long ago, i would tell nigger-flingers that i’d shut down the session and kick their asses out permanently if they persisted (i have reason to be a little sensitive to knee-jerk black haters); i didn’t want to hear that shit. but now i guess my biggest problem would be keeping the niggers out. LMAO.

Ah yes… the “wigger” phenomenon. Growing up in suburban Detroit, in the part of town that produced both Eminem and Kid Rock, I’m well aware of such lame-ass kids.
I also found it odd that such kids were more common in areas where racism against blacks was more commonplace. Could some of it be chalked up to teenage rebellion against their parents’ views?

you grew up there and you’re not a nigger? what happened, yo?
; )
yeah, rebellion works for some of it, but i think most of it is just that it makes a convenient and, wonder of wonders, peer-acceptable shell. ugh.

I’m more familiar with the rural SW – but what you’ve described has become more and more common over the years in my region too. Seems that it’s also more acceptable to be past ones teens and retain these affectations.
Every so often I get up to the pricier suburbs of Phx. and am surprised at how many of the children of those who aspire to affluence carry on that image. It’s always a bit humorous to see silver-spoon crackers trying to carry off the look of a gang-banger!
I guess in a roundabout way – it has to do with whatever’s likely to piss off our parents, telling authority figures where to get off – emulating popular anti-heros from pop culture.
Back in my day we tried to look like Dennis Hopper, a la Easy Rider…! :)

vaughn, great point about retaining the weirdness past the teens. that’s actually what sparked me to write about it, though i didn’t mention it. it might also be more than retention around here; seems that even 30-somethings hanging out with the youngers have picked up the nonsense.
a related point: if i hear one more fucker jiving it up via full blast walkie talkie, i think i’m gonna join these guys.
