RAPPERS IN REAL LIFE: No Niggas in Africa...

Although you might have guessed that I had an appreciation for Dave Chappelle (pause) he is actually not my favorite comedian. Richard Pryor is. I Was watching his "live on the sunset strip" and after reading the latest rant from one of my good buddies...I'm inspired to write, so here goes...
There's a part in his set where he talks about going to africa and seeing people over there that looked like people over here...Over there, they would be a doctor or a congressman, over here, a wino or drug dealer...But he talks about looking around in Africa and asking himself "Are there any niggers here?". And the answer was .."No." He said,"That's because there aren't any." And then he went on to say that the word "nigger" was really only used to describe the personification of our own wretchedness. It's for the WORST things about us. All there stereotypes that are perpetuated each day, and the times when we speak up about them, such as Chris was doing (you gotta read his note "Yall make me sick")...
From the times when we are loud or embarassing in public, to the times when we are in other people's business only to make things worse, or the times when we are cussing each other out for not living up to a higher standard...thats' us...for better or worse..

On Nas' "project roach" you will hear the following..
"It is absolutely silly to have a funeral for the word nigger, when the actions continue.." If you agree with these words, then you also recognize that you must also personify the change that you wish to see. That you must ACT in opposition to those you criticize, or else you are no better than the wretched of which you speak...
So if you don't want to be a nigger, then you probably should try not to do nigger-ish things...I could start making a list, but I'm sure it would only turn into a joke..Probably would be some shit like "you might be a nigger if...blah blah blah"...I don't really wanna go there...at least not right now...
