"and another nigger bites the dust..."
My opinion is Sikk is a jerk. I think nigger is a word that people take too lightly. Sometimes use of that word cuts too deeply for it to be thrown around casually. Even black people have to be more responsible when they use it.
If you're making a point like Chris Rock in "Niggas vs. Black People" then I think the use of the word is legit. That bit is an eight-minute rant about behaviors that Rock sees within the black community; he describes "niggas" as a cohort whose behavior is usually detrimental to the image of other black people and embody many negative African-American stereotypes. The "niggas," he said, glorify ignorance and sloth, and show excessive pride for fulfilling any minor responsibility. Rock rejects the view that this image of African-Americans is purely cultivated by the media. In the routine, he says, "When I go to the money machine tonight, alright, I ain't looking over my back for the media: I'm looking for niggas!"
If you're just using the word for shock value like Sikk did, then you're a jerk. If you're using it to express your heart-felt dislike or hatred of black folks then it's legit, too. Why 'cause racism and hatred are real and your expressing them.
Now, my turn for a question. What is the white equivalent of nigger? With women the word is cunt. Asians and Hispanics don't have a word that's applied to them that is as nasty and powerful. Odd, eh?
