Why We Own Nigger

This past weekend I went to see the new Kevin Hart movie Let Me Explain and I laughed my ass off.  He's no Richard Pryor but he's good enough for now! As I cracked up and sometimes teared I found myself laughing of Kevin use of the "N" word, hell I'm going to say it Nigger.  Yep he said it more times than I could count.  And guess what it didn't piss me off, I was fine with it.  As a matter of fact every time I hear one of us call each other Nigger it gives me pleasure.  Please don't get me wrong I know where it comes from and what's associated with it, and because of that it gives me pleasure.

As Black people have we realized that we've taken a word that was so harmful, ugly, mean and disdained and turned it into a term of endearment that not even the ones who created it can use it!  When has there been a time in history that we created something and white man tries to take it, Elvis anyone? And God forbid we try to take something they created, we'll still be lynched, but Nigger is one of those things we now own and they can't get it back! I take pride in knowing that.  

The whole debate of eradicating the word should be re-vamped into the word Nigger has to be removed from white language only.  If whites say it they suffer the consequence the same way our ancestor suffered if they didn't properly address a white person (remember don't look into their eyes), LOL.  Yes I know I'm going too far and I don't mean it, but I am honest about owning the word. As black people we should say Nigger anytime we get in front of them, it kills them that they can't say it, not even repeat it from a rap lyric.   And for that alone I love me some Niggers day in and day out!

Peace Out,
