What's a Nigga?
by Ninja R, 9-28-2003
A while back, I was in an AOL chat room, as
usual, checking out what people had to say. I noticed someone
in the room asking if there were any "niggas" around. Well,
hell if I knew what a nigga was...I know I'm a ninja...and since
the two words sound similar, I thought I'd see if I could attain
this "niggas" status. Try it. With attitude, say, NINJA,
PLEASE! It sounds great.
Anyway, here's the conversation I had with the
young lady.
Little1liz21 [8:43 PM]: ARE U ASKIN HERE WHAT
A NIGGA IS?
Rollins00861 [8:43 PM]: no...I'm asking what a
niggas is.
Little1liz21 [8:43 PM]: U DONT KNOW WHAT A
NIGGA IS?
Rollins00861 [8:44 PM]: I don't know what a
nigga or a niggas is.
Little1liz21 [8:44 PM]: ITS A SLANG TERM...... INSTEAD OF USING
NIGGER THEY CALL EACH OTHER NIGGA
Rollins00861 [8:45 PM]: oh...so you're being
racist now.
Little1liz21 [8:45 PM]: NO
Rollins00861 [8:45 PM]: oh, OK.....so what's a
niggas?
Little1liz21 [8:45 PM]: I AINT RACIST AGAINST
NOBODY
Well, in this conversation, we found that,
besides the fact this "Liz" person doesn't know what a caps lock
key is, she's not racist "against nobody." Hmph. Being white,
I wonder what would happen if I said that word to a black guy.
It's worth considering.
So...she stopped answering me in the instant
message we had going, so I started asking in the chat room about
niggas. Other people chimed in regarding their own opinions
about these mythical niggas.
Rollins00861: Liz...what's a niggas?
Little1liz21: FUCK U
Rollins00861: you told me what a nigga is...I
want to know what a niggas is.
Rollins00861: Liz?
Rollins00861: what's a niggas?
Freedom81673: it's a plural
Freedom81673: she wants more than one
Freedom81673: she likes to ride the train
Msplayaof03: are there any black niggas here

Rollins00861: Msplaya, what's a niggas?
SugarPrincess AF: niggas= 2 or more of a nigga
Rollins00861: ohhhhhhh...
Rollins00861: can I be a nigga?
SugarPrincess AF: yes
Freedom81673: you wear black
Rollins00861: can I be a nigga?
Msplayaof03: are you black
Rollins00861: I was told that you didn't have
to be black to be a nigga.
Msplayaof03: yes you do
SugarPrincess AF: no, ur not cool enough
Little1liz21: WHAT IS THIS PICK ON LIZ DAY LOL
KCTopDogg21: dont pick on littleliz
Rollins00861: I'm not picking on anyone.
Rollins00861: I want to know if I can be a
nigga.
Little1liz21: ROLLINS YEA U ARE
Rollins00861: I'm black or I'm a nigga?

Rollins00861: that's where you said I was a

Freedom81673: <~~~listening to System of a
Down "Shame on a Nigga"
Rollins00861: but you said I'm a nigga!
Little1liz21: NO I DONT
Little1liz21: I DONT LIKE THAT WORD
Soulpatchy: well i think you all are racist
for not wanting rollins to be a nigga
Little1liz21: SO WHY IN THE HELL WOULDI USE IT
Rollins00861: Little1liz21 [8:44 PM]: ITS A
SLANG TERM...... INSTEAD OF USING NIGGER HEY CALL EACH OTHER
NIGGA
Rollins00861: I don't know, but there's your
IM.
Rollins00861: you tell me why you'd use it.
Now...for those who are still following -- she
quit saying anything and left the room soon after that. For
such a non-racist person and for someone who hates the word "nigga"
so much, she sure used it a lot in her instant message to me.
Anyway, while all of this stuff was going on,
one other person wanted to educate me as to the meaning of the
mythical nigga.
Tight4me [8:47 PM]: a dog why you kepp saying
the n words
Rollins00861 [8:48 PM]: a dog what?
Tight4me [8:48 PM]: why you keep say the n

Rollins00861 [8:48 PM]: a dog what?
Tight4me [8:49 PM]: are you trying to play
games
Rollins00861 [8:49 PM]: no...I'm trying to
figure out what the hell you're saying.
Tight4me [8:50 PM]: well i'm telling your dumb ass to stop
saying the n word before i come in fuck yo ass up
Rollins00861 [8:51 PM]: I'm terrified...but
since you want to talk about it....why can she use it, but I
can't?
Tight4me [8:51 PM]: cause you keep saying it
Rollins00861 [8:52 PM]: she can use it because
I keep saying it?
Tight4me [8:53 PM]: you see there alot a black
people in here willing to kick your ass if you dont stop saying
the n word
Rollins00861 [8:53 PM]: and you know...I
really don't care...if she can use it, so can I...so NIGGA

Tight4me [8:54 PM]: oh you got joke huh
Rollins00861 [8:54 PM]: I have more than one.
Tight4me [8:55 PM]: how bout i come over there

Tight4me [8:56 PM]: ok i'm on my way
Rollins00861 [8:57 PM]: go ahead....log

Rollins00861 [8:58 PM]: *sigh*...yep, I'm not
scared yet...try harder...
And that was the last I heard of this guy.
Too bad...I wanted to be further informed about niggas.
So, kids...what do we take away from this
interview? Well...System of a Down rocks faces, they're niggas
and so am I.

For the record, I'm not racist, dammit. My
hatred doesn't know racial boundaries. I really like these
interviews, so look forward to more of them in the future. |
