The word "Nigga" is probably the most popular word in the English language. Black people use it as a term of endearment after it was once a racial slur. It's the ONLY racial slur black people will use to describe other blacks, you don't hear blacks saying "what's up my coon?" or "These porch monkeys over here". Nigga is so cool that white people will risk saying the word around black people even though there is a risk they may get their asses whipped if they do.
Nigga is so cool, they had a funeral for the word Nigga, and Oprah attended the funeral. What other word will make Oprah go to their funeral? Must be an important word.
I'm surprised someone hasn't named their child "Nigga" yet. Can you imagine lil Nigga Jones? I wonder would that make people uncomfortable? It's not half as bad as some of the names I've heard either.
Only word I think is on par with being as cool as "Nigga" is "Bitch". It's like nigga, for women. Women are the only ones who can use it, they use it as a term of endearment for one another...somewhat. They get mad if someone other than a woman uses it, but sometimes men use it around women even though they know they run the risk of having their tires slashed and being kicked in the nuts.

Can We Please Get Over The "John Mayer" Controversy??
I'm over it... actually I was never outraged or upset about it. I read the article, I was like eh... who cares. I don't support John Mayer or his music so it doesn't matter to me what he says, as long as he's not talking about me or anyone I know... no harm done.
What gets me is why black people are soooo upset about it. Yes he used the N-word, we act like white people don't use that word ALL the time, hell they invented the word, they say it just as much as black people do, so I'm not surprised that he said it, like I said as long as he didn't look me in my eye and say "Roderic, you nigger" I have more pertinent things to get angry about.
I was watching the news and saw 5 separate stories about black kids being killed within 5 miles of my neighborhood, and we all know this type of senseless killing goes on everyday, THAT pisses me off, not John Mayer. Can we get Al and Jesse to stop going on WWE and chasing Imus long enough to speak to our young, black kids who actually MAY change from someone speaking to them instead of attacking John Mayer, who from what I've seen, is a jerk and is not going to change, no matter what we say?
Racism IS a real problem, don't get me wrong, but getting rid of racism doesn't start with attacking and blackballing celebrities who exhibit racist behavior because then you've just given them a cause and a fanbase, racism will be resolved when we all start preaching tolerance and acceptance of all races. And YES I'm speaking to ALL races because I've met racists of ALL nationalities so let's not act holier than thou and act like white people are the only people who are racist.

New For 2010: Text Messaging Ruining Communication
Is it just me or is text messaging ruining the communication process? It keeps a person's true personality and spontaneity in a conversation from showing up. When you can edit and decide how you want to say something before you say it, it makes you seem like a much better communicator than you may actually be.
People can be 1 room away and text one another instead of just walking to the person's door and asking them the question they wanna ask. People don't even talk on the phone anymore, they'd rather text. Texting has ruined phone calls for me, I hate talking on the phone now, does that make me anti-social?
Also, have you ever had someone get mad at you because of the way THEY interpreted something you said in a text message? When you're talking to someone, you can hear certain voice inflections, sarcasm, and joking nature, but when you text, it's only words on a screen. Sure, punctuation helps... but every now and then you have some people who never passed English. Ever have an argument over a text that you sent that was misinterpreted by the person you sent it to? There's nothing worse than trying to explain what you meant in a text message with another text message. That's just infuriating. I think texting has made people too emotional, words don't have meaning outside of the meaning that a person places onto those words. So if you get upset about a text, maybe that says something about your interpretation.
