People seem to be so concerned with the 'N'word ...Now...Not the Origin..or how its used..I wonder if the 'New' concern is like when the Drugs hit the suburbs and rich white kids were 'OD'ing and Puking on the Lawns of 300K Homes.The 'N' word Disturb white people? they dont understand the the meaning of NIGGA/niggah/Just the Nigger?,which is not what its used astoday for the MOST part people 'Krammer' their' Racism' (street slang)I grew up with the word,which was used to desensitize the Impact/Pain from Nigger.So I know how and when to use it for emphasis.It is Never Nigger.A reader read in authorsden one of my works and said that he'd get arrested if he used that word in his hometown....Unlikly..don't think it would have hung around for so long..'no pun'intended.He Never even noticed how it was spelled.My Veiw is when all the Prejudice has gone away then its many variations should go with it.But I wont see it in my life time. But Until,Creative as Black folks are we say on the street MY 'NICCA'or what up my' NEZZIE'I think black folks will always have a Creative way of speaking.Lately I'm interested in writing about the more Obscure emotions of people, and trying to understand why they think that way.This is for all the 'wankstas' that listen to commercial Rap and are not Born Black.
... Everybody wanna be Black
Till 5-0 come
Till they throw you on the Ground pullin they Gun
Got Blond dreads
Tats on yo Back
Wantin to be Black aint gon bring 2 PAC BACK
You listenin to ‘’Gansta” RAP
Tryin to walk that Mack
Rackin stacks a ‘’Duckets” till
Somebody snitched on ya Back.
Dress in Fatigues you think you wit tha Game
Cause you Smoke a lil weed an sell a lil ”Caine”
Being Black comes wit Daily Hard Rain
Thas one thing
You never see cause of our Pride
the way we was Raised.
Now you Hit the
‘’Row” doin a lil 4 an 4
Consecutive an whatever else
The B.O.P (bureau of Prisons)
Say give Give with No consolations for good behavior..
Doin a lil time instead of takin Probation
INSTEAD getting let go
Now you here
What do you know
Niggahs got some ‘’New” shit for to learn
out here on the” Row”
So who you know?
Who you don’t
Say what you will do
An what you wont…?
that game you played got that slice on your face
You was lookin for a Home
Man , Niggahs still killin they own
That scar on you face
reminds you of the pain black folks carry everyday
NOW what ya think niccah?
HOW you feel niccah?
WHERE you from niccah?
WHERE you going Niccah?
WHERE you Belong niccah?
A lot of hurt
An pain just to find
YOU
To be You
To accept
You
YEAHHHHHH….I know
Everybody wanna be black till 5-0 come
Till they throw you on the ground
an pull they gun.

Your views of the realities of ...life...and the combined thoughts and or words on rap...drugs...gangs...and of course the philosophy behind the N word are very well stated and written within this display of poetic expression...nice work on bringing this subject to the fore front...
