You won't even say it in the essay dude

It really is a revolutionary act to say it.

The author is BBBBBlack so as privileged race there's nothing special about him saying it.

I'm not so I'll be saying NIGGER right now.

I do it in the Matthew S. Harris style, full caps hard hard in respect to NIGGERS everywhere because as he wrote in his book DEATH SENTENCES: "‘Nigga” is sweet and small (diminutive). ‘NIGGER” IS MASCULINE. The NIGGER Tribe is MASCULINE."

Say it, if somebody breaks your jaw or throat kicks you then don't cry about it like a hoe

America, through its cultural colonization, bestowed my generation in Hungary the n-word in the 1990s. We were expected to pick it up and run with it. So many of us did.

Middle class kids whose education allowed a surface understanding of hip-hop, wearing FUBU (or a Chinese copy, same difference), preferring basketball to football, calling each other niggaz.

Class is important because these kids were not the Hungarian equivalent of American "wiggers", lower classes here, mostly due to the language barrier and a lack of drive to join boutique subcultures, had no awareness of this.

So, for this reason, the n-word in my head is associated with a Millennial male with a decent family background.

Thanks, MTV!
