Nigga.The white man, can't say the word "nigga". They say because its offensive, it's rude, but I know the real reason why. I know, because that's what I am; a nigger. Born as a nigger, lived as nigger, I know why the white man can't say the word nigger. They say that it makes no sense for the blacks to use this insulting, disgusting term for themselves, but only because they don't know the true meaning. We bear the name as a scar, as a reminder of what we fought, of what we were. We bear the name as a reminder of our ancestors, and their long hot days in the cotton fields, picking until their finger tips were raw with blood, whipped until their skin was indistinguishable from the raw fleshy pulp that was their aggravated flesh laced with the crimson nectar of their veins. We bear the name, to remind ourselves, that even amidst all this we lived. We fought our way through the darkness of the tunnel. We bear our scar, to remind us, to remind you, that we survived, that we are survivors. I bear the name, I bear the scar of a nigger. That is why we call ourselves the name nigger. It is our word of honor, our mark of surviving. The white man is not worthy enough to call me a nigger.

Wondering of the FutureLooking at the clock, I struggle / Despair floating like an eye floaty thing / Get the hell out of here

Unfollow MeTo those who protest on why they should say the word Nigga / Unfollow me / To those whose heart does not mourn over an innocent life of POC

My AmericaHow can I make these whites as uncomfortable as they make me? / Comparing skintones during the summer like there's anything to compare to, y'all just wanna brag about how brown y'all like to get without having to live like a nigga. / Some masturbatory self jerk, too pretentious to go to a tanning booth, but too cheap to treat ya skin right,
