I ve been there.. I was seventeen and my boy at the time had taken me .Well to make a long story short.. after about six days we got into the dreaded "why can't I say Nigger argument" Two drunk whiteboys (one famous) and myself arguing over the usage of "Nigga" at a five star resort at 2:00 in the morning in kaanapaali beach. Never were friends again. Funny because dude just got into some trouble for making dumb assed racist statements. (sigh) Kaanapali....good times

Ill ...

So, why couldn't he say "Nigger"?

Simply because he was my friend and it made me feel uncomfortable.. had the word been "figly" and it made me uncomfortable, a friend would respect that..even if they didn't understand. Now since hanging wit you cats Ive gained new perspective and I prolly wouldn't sweat it as much. Makes sense right?

ahhh ... I don't know grasshopper.

"uncomfortable" and "weak" are cousins.

Letting another man's words control how you feel is .... what it is.

But, arguing with some white boy, in the middle of the night, in a hotel room, in Fiji, about why he can't call you "nigger" is some shit to which I can't relate.

No Homo.

Ill, how you going to say that if front of Big Wayne?

I can see it now:

"Brad?"

Yes Ill

"Please don't call me Nigger, it makes me ... uncomfortable..."

Why Ill? Why can't I say nigger, if you say it. That's unfair!"

LOL

Nah man, I'm messin with you. But hope Wayne don't read this.

LOL.. lmbao... t.. I was seventeen and it was hawaii.. Hilarious. His real name is Zach so Brad was very befitting... yeah man Im an artist..Im a bit loco and sensitive (sensitive like a richter scale) .

Please don't call me Nigger, it makes me ... uncomfortable..."

LMBAO Yo Im a man of truth. looking back that could be construed as bitchassedness. But I didn't mention how his boy broke an exit sign and I COERCED his ass to confession. But that's another story. Honestly though I have gotten some great perspective here man. You 're Elijah Im Malcolm. Ive even learned from Turdeye..Big Wayne not so much :) A king ain't scared of his prince. He actually wants him to succeed the throne with honor and valor but.... ONLY in due time. DV you act like you aint never been a youngster. It was either me asking nicely or me getting up in that ass.. no homo. I chose the former. As a matter of fact maybe expressing how one feels to his peers isn't a sign of weakness. Perhaps it was maturity. Im a thespian I act on truth I speak with truth. Was I weak because I allowed myself to be affected? And don't hit me wit that fiddy cent machismo bullshit... What's wrong with a young man making a sincere although futile attempt to connect with his "friends?"
