I love this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHITE STUDENT LET OFF FOR USING 'N' WORD AGAINST BLACK TEACHER
Judge says 'nigga' not the same as 'nigger'
by Davey D
A major WACK Award goes out to those who insist and continue to use the N word. Whether you spell it NIGGER or NIGGA, you still get the WACK Award. The ridiculous and stupid logic of using this word came back to haunt us.
A San Jose, California judge allowed a white student who committed a hate crime against his black female teacher off the hook. His defense reasoned successfully that the white guy did not commit a hate crime when he vandalized school property because he spelled the N word N-I-G-G-A and not N-I-G-G-E-R. Yep, the white guy used the "friendly" version of the word and got away with it. Dude wrote 'Thanks Nigga' and had an arrow pointed to the teacher's name.
For those who are still shaking their heads in disbelief, here's what went down. A white student at a San Jose high school got upset with his African American teacher for suspending his white friend. In retaliation he spray paints a school wall with the teacher's name and the N word which was spelled N-I-G-G-A. The police were upset. The teacher was upset and the community was appalled. Dude goes on trial for this hate crime and his defense attorney brings in some witness to testify to the judge that there's a difference between the two spellings of the N word. The judge listens and lets the white dude off and says no hate crime was committed and thus a dangerous precedent is set.
San Jose's Black Police officers association were extremely upset over the ruling. After all, they know all to well what this will lead to. Next time some cop pulls you over and hurls the N word he can get off by saying he said N-I-G-G-A and not N-I-G-G-E-R. Should you be careful before you file a racial harassment suit against a coworker or an insensitive boss? After all, he or she may actually be using the 'NIGGA' spelling of the word.
I couldn't help recalling the speech that Minister Farrakhan gave at the most recent Hip Hop Summit in LA. He emphatically warned us, "If we keep putting something out there we will one day have to answer for it." This recent court interpretation of this hate crime and the use of the N word was proof. When will black people stop using this inexcusable word that whites use to humilate and degrade us? Think about it.

Blame the black man. It's all his goddamned niggerish fault. He's the one who told non-blacks that they can use the word --
Puffy. J-Lo. Need I say more. Uhmm-hmmm... |

I don't believe someone calling another person a nigger, niggah or nikka should be deemed a hate crime. |

I think the part where they "put somebody's light out" probably qualifies as a crime.
But I don't think a person should labeled a criminal simply because he or she used a word (unless what's been done falls within the definitions of libel or slander).
If his or she actions incited some kind of raciallly motivated riot or something, THEN perhaps their actions should be deemed criminal. |

I agree with Davey D and can see how the judge ruled the way he did. How insulting can it be to us, when we're DANCING to every song that uses the word? I could write a song and use the word throughout it, and instead of being appalled, I'd be rewarded for it. Doesn't seem like it insults us too much. |

Since the judge is a judge, he made a judgment call. He at least showed that he is not isolated from the world around him. And the law always has to take "intent" into consideration. |

But Abm, don't you think it's a slippery slope as Davey pointed out..
******Next time some cop pulls you over and hurls the N word he can get off by saying he said N-I-G-G-A and not N-I-G-G-E-R. Should you be careful before you file a racial harassment suit against a coworker or an insensitive boss? After all, he or she may actually be using the 'NIGGA' spelling of the word.*******
I can see how something like this could easily lead us back into lynchings. Call me paranoid but I really can.

All of that you guys mentioned is a good reason why we shouldn't endorse the word ourselves. |

Well, dispensing with the use of the word "nigger" would certainly cramp the style of Kola and Tonya. |

Tonya,
Things change.
I don't think "nigger" means literally, figuratively and socially today what it meant +50 years ago.
And I believe there must come a time when Black foks STOP becoming so discombobulated via words or symbols that are ONLY as dangerous as we interpret and allow them to be. |

I've used the word myself, but when I use it, I MEAN it. I wouldn't say to some friends, "what's up, nigga," but if I get into a heated argument with someone I dislike, I will call them a "stupid nigger." I find the problem with using it as a term of endearment AND as a derogatory word. If anyone, even a black person, calls me that, I'm ready to fight. |

I've known my bestfriend for over 30 years. And one of the FIRST things we do when we see each other is say "What's up, NIGGA!!!" |

I don't believe that white people should be prosecuted for calling black people niggers or niggas either.
I think they should be sodomized with a broomhandle. Thanks to this judge's opinion the next nigga will not waste his or her time going into a honkie kangaroo court.
They can thank him for it when they are pulling them splinters out of their rectums. |

I don't use the word. I don't want to come off as some Black Flintstone. It's just unintelligent and says more ABOUT YOURSELF than the person you are trying to make out to be the bad one.

I agree with ABM that once you allow people to empower a word then you are at their mercy. Screw what white folks say. Who cares? I will continue to call any black male who I like, "my nigga" and will not care if he calls me his "nigga". Whoever don't like it, it's too freakin bad. |

As usual, the voice of reason Cynique. I am so sick of seeing black people worrying about what white people will think of them if they say/do this/that. I can tell you right now what they will think – that you’re niggas! No matter what you say/do. Now, if there was ANYTHING we could do to change their perspective then there would be something to think about. But there isn’t. If you do good then you’re just a good nigga. So fuck ‘em.
Hey ABM!

It's an unnecessary word that I just don't use.
You can say what you like without my permission, ABM.

Right on Crystal.
And realize that "Mrs. Hart" is a WHITE WOMAN trying to masquerade as a sista.
Oh, and Mrs. FART--you can ask Crystal what Kola Boof looks like, because they've met in person at a book signing.
Mrs. Fart, you stink, and niggas are not as STOOPID as you think.
