The Boondocks: Episode 2- Even More Fun Saying "Nigga"

Posted on November 14, 2005 5:01 PM

boondocks_300x125_02.jpg

They did it again! Aaron McGruder and the team at “The Boondocks” not only touched on hot-button issues with their second episode… They slapped the shit out of them.

As Huey put it… “Niggas are crazy.” I couldn’t agree more. And for those of you who couldn’t tell or were too slow to get it in my last post, I am a BLACK MAN, so I can say that. It’s not that I want other races to know that some of my own are crazy, but it is what it is and sometimes you have to call cats on it.

I know this will cause some controversy but…O.J. DID IT. TYSON DID IT. KOBE DID IT. R. KELLY DID IT. AND MICHAEL DAMN SURE DID IT… TWICE. There I said it. I feel cleansed. Like Huey says, “Every famous nigga that gets arrested is not Nelson Mandela.”

Now, as I hear sidekick IIs blowing up in preparation to revoke my ghetto pass, please allow me to explain. Do I think every Black man that commits a crime is guilty? No. Do I think the American justice system is flawed? Hell to the yes. Would I move if someone was going to pee on me? You damn right. I would even go as far to say that I love my brothers and sisters who blindly rep for these celebrities caught up in the system, but at what cost?

I know many who think R. Kelly is not guilty, but would you let you underage daughter/sister hang out in a studio with him at 2am? Better yet would you let that same daughter hang out in a hotel room with Tyson? Or your son with the King of Pop? I didn’t think so.

That said people still want to believe. I guess you have to believe in something, right? But why this? Do we have nothing more to believe in? 40 years ago, we were supporting cats like King and Malcolm as they went to jail. Yet, these brothers have now been replaced by a cocky basketball player and an R&B “genius” who sings about feeling a chick’s booty? Need I say more?

I guess the show’s resolution—that no matter our differences we are all family—is what brings us back together. And despite the tooth-aching sweetness of the sentiment, the conflict still remains.

Oh well, when all else fails I always like to rely on the trusting words of Uncle Ruckus, my spiritual guide: “DON’T TRUST THEM NEW NIGGAS OVER THERE.”

Oh, and for all you supporters of Kells, be sure to sign the online petition at www.FreeThePee.com and watch out for that white fever. I hear it’s worse than the avian flu.

  • Yo Gang,
    I am a black man and I detest the word nigga(er). there is no difference in the pronounciation ar meaning. Talk to one of the older men in your family. Did you know that in the south, and South Carolina in particular Black men could not wear white collared shirts because that meant they were proffesionals? Of course a Black man did not have the intellectual capacity to be a proffesional so he must be aspiring, so the racist mentality went. Now, I think "The Boondocks" is the funniest thing on T.V. since "Sanford & Son". I can take a joke but when people spew that epithet without knowledge of the painful, derogetory, and murderous history behind it, it makes us all look like idiots . I'm not gonna let a white person call me nigger to my face and I'm not gona let a Black person either.Trust me this is a up hill battle. I have family memebers who "forget" I hate that word which can make for some interesting get togethers. But I check my family and I'll check a cat I just met. we seem to have forgot what little progress we've made. No, the more we say it does not deminish it's impact. No, there is no difference in the spelling. And yes there are other words that rhyme with trigger for you nihalistic M.C.'s out there. Just think of all the Black men who died and fought to gain respect. and yes, it is that deep. Yes I have a life and I love my people. Do you love yourself?

  • I am Latino and I wouldn't want nobody calling me a "Spic" because that's disrespectful to my people, so why would I wanna call a black man a nigger or a white man a honkey, but these words always originate from the White man, almost like they can't stand not knowing what we are so they have to call us something to feel comfortable. I believe that the word is very painful to most and when some people wanna use to lessens it's impact, it's reverse psychology. It's like KKK members would comment that they dont' even have to call ya'll N&^*ers" because ya'll do it already so I would think about that when using that word. All I'm saying is that the truth is you don't hear Latinos calling each other "spics" and Mexicans calling each other "Wet Backs" right? think about that. I'm not going to say something like "yo, this my spic right here bro"
    and skdamc you have the right to be upset over the word so nuff respect

  • Man Where is that nigga ROn, to bring some control back to the Blogs, no dis to my nigga D-A-R-K. Man Dark you put it down cuz i liked the show for all the same reasons my nigga! Fuck all the nigga's that were not feeling the show. jokes aside i say nigga but not as much as i just typped i was trying to be funny. Anyway White folks thought it was ok for Dave Chappelle to say nigga just about every show, but since he is funny and makes white's laugh it is no big deal but a cartoon says it and the world is ending, shit nigga is no longer a racial derog, it is now a hip hop slang, kinda like BITCH. Bitch is no longer a female dog. there are so many words that hip hop takes and makes a GOOD use. Like words, DOPE, BAD, FUNKY, Tight, SOn, Muthafucker! All those words used in 1950 would have ment something completley different! Sticks and Stones may break my bones but words will NEVER hurt me, so Call me a NIGGER it don't hurt, I will just call you George Bush!!
    And to the Spic, lol j/k But on the real if Ricky Martin or Pittbull or whoever else latino's listen to started saying alot you know you would hear spic's across the globe saying Yo what up my spic!

  • Ron Mexico says...
  • I'm not getting into the debate, but I must say... Smokey touched on the point I always make.

    Words only have the power you give/allow them. The effects of certain words have changed over time because of the power people have given to or taken away from these words.

    I think being able to say certain words in the face of their history with an entirely new meaning that exhibits a common bond and remembrace of struggle is a pretty excellent thing.

    Feel me, niggas?

    Dark... good shit. I love this show as much as you do.

  • Dark Kent says...
  • Ahh, "da dumbest nigga" strikes again. Yeah, I am an oreo ass (it is spelled with two s, dick) because I "talk" (I think you mean "write") properly. God forbid. Maybe I will write the rest of this response in your language. I's sho do hopes yous likes my blog, son. Funk you, dun. I'm real hardcore, my nigga. I wears my pants mad baggy, son. And I didn't even graduate high school, my nigga. I just be standing on that block slanging rocks.

    Oh fuck you, I can't do it anymore. I feel my IQ and credit score dropping as we speak. Your self-hating ass is the real hater. You're worse than a Klansmen because you don't want one of your own getting ahead. As for snitching, I say hell yeah. If I had any specifics on the number of crimes you committed I would turn your ass in immediately... and I wouldn't even take the reward money. Do it to get your dumb ass off the computer. And I bet your ass would love to see a pic of me... keep dreaming. I don't want a punk like you dreaming about me... talking about how tight my pants are? What's with that? And if you hate this blog so much why are you one of the first cats to respond every time I post. Finally, you're right.... As for Coldplay and what else I listen to. I give you credit for knowing who Coldplay is and hell yeah I own their shit right along with deadprez, Kweli, The Roots, Hov and a gang of other hot shit your block-hugging ass has never heard of.

    BTW, as soon as my website goes up you can buy either a "Start Snitching" t-shirt or an "I Love Dark Kent" baby-tee. I am figuring you'd want the latter... That means second, dummy.

  • Da Dumbest Nigga you're ignorant as shit. If a nigga has an education does that automatically make them white? You are worse than the racist white people because you stereotype your own race. You would rather see a black man struggle than do something with himself. Judging by the comment you made, I can already tell what your financial status is. Do something with your life and stop worrying about the next man.

    "there aint no snichin where i comes from. yous a snich in my book." What plantation did you come from? "Duh dumbest nigga." We are not slaves
    anymore, didn't you hear from Harriet, Kizzy, and Knute Kente. We's got our freedom now, the Masa is gone. Hey Dark Kent maybe you can make this idiot a "Start Spelling" t-shirt. By the way what the hell are you doing on the Computer at 5:00 in the morning. Get a job loser and move outta Moms basement.

  • I use the word nigger/nigga but I do not buy into the whole 'we took the word and we are making it a positive' or 'we are taking the power from the word' nonsense.

    For as many years as I've been saying the word, it's still remains as powerful when it's said by a white person - therefore the word still maintains it's power.

    I also don't buy into the whole 'term of endearment' crap either. Puerto Rican's don't call each other spics. Jewishs don't call each other kikes.

    I hope by the end of the year to at least cut down on calling people niggers.

  • I have been a big fan of the boondocks, and it's something I read and enjoy with my mother. I never thought we'd see eye to eye politically on anything but here we are. Now as far as the show is concerned, I don't think she's ready to watch it, but I'll introduce her to it, and see how that goes.

    Now moving on to the reason I really posted, it is some stupid ass mothafucka's on this blog right here!!!!
    Why after all this time are we still dealing with some of the things we are dealing with? Black people,why can't we make rational intelligent statements? Why are the biggest suburban black people, the main ones tryna be street? Why are the main group of people hollerin' stop snitchin' the ones most likely to need police help?? Why do they not cooperate, but then get mad when the crime doesn't get solved? Why can't we honor the black men and women who DIED so we could live with dignity? Why am I tired of askin' why?

    Stop postin' your dumb ass comments, read a book, write a letter, wash yo' ass...do something. Aspire to be something more than the realest nigga, who really has terrible gramatical skills..
    Really!

  • Man, I love this blog shit. All the punks come out. So, Jay$$$... You gettin' that paper, son. Once again cats like you apparently DON'T read everything. I never said there was anything wrong with the word "nigga." In fact, in my last post I said I have no real objections to the word when said by another Black person. [SIDE NOTE: People of other races, I know this is hypocritical but we Black people have some issues. Y'all do too.] If you're a real dude doing real things... hustling. What the hell are you doing reading a blog? Keep it real, nigga. Real niggas don't read. And obviously these words do phase you because you took the time to put up a response. I get paid for blogging, bitch. Do you? Now, about snitching... Would I snitch on someone to save my own? Damn right. Would I snitch just to snitch? Probably not because I have just as much hate for cops as I do for uneducated niggas like yourself. Now, you say love to niggas doing their thing, right? Being educated? So, why are you hating on me? Because I let "Da Dumbest Nigga" have it for coming at me? Well, maybe you should read his ignorant ass post. I was replying to one man in the same stereotypical way he responded to me. I have love for the hood. Hell, I was born and raised in Newark, NJ. I still live there. So what? I got family up north. I know from the struggle but I also know that I am not going to dumb down myself or my pen just to be accepted by you, the hood or anyone else. So... Keep bringing it if you want. Like I said, I get paid for this so I am here all day e'eryday.

  • People,
    It's great to see a somewhat intelligent discussion about the use of the word "nigger". Some of us hate ourselves so much that we rationalize the use of a self-hating term. As I said I love the Boondocks. It's a funny show. The R. Kelly show was bananas. I can recognize the difference between satire and literal. The show is definitely a satire. That doesn't make the use of the word "nigger" any less uncomfrotable for me. It won't deter me from watching it just as my fam using it won't deter me from loving them. It just comes a time when we have to say enough. I love myself enough and have enough wisdom to realize using that term isn't the move. To those who do,research the origins, check our past. Look at the pictures of the strange fruit, the emolations, the dog attacks,Emmitt Till's before and after pictures, the church bombing. Hell, those of you lucky enough to have an adult man in your family over 65, ask him about the atmosphere of those times. Then, look in the mirror and ask yourself if you see a "nigger".
    Peace

Man grow the fuck up, OUR own people sold us out back in Africa, You think nigga's just got on them boats for no reason, hell NO! Black leaders were persuade to give up some of there own people for some of the same reason nigga's TO THIS DAY sell eachother out. Black folks still got shit fucked up to this day, niggas are still living bad and i will tell you this, if EVERY black man in the US stopped saying Nigga, GUESS what shit would still be fucked up! Black folks Need LEADERS like X, The Panthers and King!

  • Yo Smokeymacpott420,
    Don't get it fucked up, cause ain't shit sweet. Stay focused. You playin' the blog for chuckles and I'm tryin impart some knowledge on those of you cats who DON'T know. You seem to know and still don't give a fuck. Me talking that "old" shit is what keeps a lot of young cats alive. As the saying goes, if you don't learn from your history your doomed to repeat it. What I am trying to pass on is what's happening and has happened here in America. Yeah, that shit was a while ago but James Byrd was 3 years ago because of those same attitudes are still pervasive in America. Fuck what you heard gang, it's about self love and self preservation. I am not saying the word "nigger" is the root of all evil but it is a symptom of self loathing that I only see present in MY community. Guess what, Luke or Anikin or who ever you want to be, if every black man stopped saying the word "nigger" it would show the rest of the rest of the people we deal with that we are serious about respecting ourselves we demand it from them. But you remind me of the kind of folks who say, sheet, they gave us the scraps and we made pig feet andchittlins'. Fuck outta here with that line of thinkin', gang. Change starts with the idividual. I don't use that word. My three children don't use that word and they pass the knowledge about not just that word but our history. The don't tolorate it. If we all plant something in our seeds and not just don't use the n-word but all kinds of positive thing WE can effect change. That may be a lttle to hard for you because you because the word doesn't bother you. I don't accept just anything and I'm not a "nigger". And guess what Smokey, niether are you. I'm helpin' YOU out. And you keep talklin' over the beat.....

  • The word nigger is just a word and as much as it is miss used by whites its miss used by blacks as well. If any black person desides to use it he/she should be conscious of the reason your using it, but that will never happen, ever. Theres always going to be an imbalance in the way humans relate to a certain subject, because to each his own, right? So nigger, nigga, whatever we got way bigger issues than that like establishing ourselves as AFRICANS again, we can be niggas all day but if we dont consider our real real foundation we might as well just allow white folks to call us niggers. Because they had to take our identity away to put us in a position to call us niggers, otherwise we would have just looked at the and laughed and said actually, Im a God, you goddamn fool". But thats my opinion I call my boys niggaz and to be honest sometimes I cant find justification for it, but every man needs to find the answers within himself and not hate on a next man for some shit your ass problany hasnt even figured out, they say ignorance is bliss, to me ignorance is funny. I'm a canadian from Toronto(big up T.O) and I can see the same ignorance in my peeps up here, nough niggas wana be accepted as gangstas juss because its trendy, if thats what keeping it real is, I rather keep it African, holla, GUIDED YOUTH runs the world! (oh and for you dummies you dont have to be born in Africa to be African, im Jamaican but I know whats happenin, fuckaz).

Anyway, I hope you post one of these blogs every week..."and don't let all this mess turn you off of white women"...lmfao.

  • Let me just start off by giving props to skdamc. You hit the hammer right on the head about that word Nigga. I couldnt agree with you more.. This word is the most degrading word to describe black people. It is very sad in this day and age, after all that black people have been through ,to see how brainwashed black people are. How can any black person bring themselves to call another black person a Nigga. And then turn right around and get upset if a white person says it. Black people must look like the biggest hypocrite on the face of the earth. Black people wake the fuck up. You are falling right into the white mans hands. As I read comments on this blog , I keep reading people saying "its just a word, its just a word" HELL NO! the word Nigga is not just a word. That word represents so many years of oppression by the white man. That should be the last word black people want to use to each other. How the fuck do we as black people expect white people to take us seriously when we talk about black pride this and black pride that. When they hear us calling each other Nigga. How do black people expect whites to take us serious when we ask them not to call us that, and we turn around and call each other that. I am baffled at how some black people cannot see the ignorance and the hypocrisy in blacks calling each other that word. And I cant stand the excuse "oh, we just taking the bite out of the word by using it ourselves" WHY? why do we have to take the bite out of the word. Why do we as black people have to compromise. Saying we say it to take the bite or the sting out of the word is compromising with the white man.Its like saying " okay, okay if you want us to be niggas then we jus gon' half ta be niggas" FUCK NO! Im not compromising shit.Its like the movie Roots( In sure most black people have seen that movie at 1 point in there lives) when kunta kinta was tied up to the tree and wiped by the white slave masters. White slave master says "Yo name is Toby" and he would not say it. He continued to say his name Kunta Kinta. No matter how much that slave master wiped him. Thats black pride, thats not compromising.Thats the way black people should be.By blacks constantly calling each other that word in rap music,films etc. we are making that word mean black people. If you go online and goggle the word Nigga, it will show pictures of black people. We say it so much to each other it like we are answering the white man calling us. That word is racist, degrading, offensive, no matter how you say it Nigga or Nigger. We should continue to fight not compromise. We should never accept less then the best. And being a Nigga or Nigger is never being the best. Im a Black man, not a Nigga or a nigger. I dont accept being nothing less then a man. And being called a Nigga is being less then a man. Black people there is no dignity in calling each other Nigga.

  • Smokey,
    Not once did I mention white people in my blog. You see, when it comes down to it, it's not black and white, it's green. The powers that be use race as a devisive measure to keep POOR people down and at each other's throats. You see it's something called economic jealousy that makes some people of oother cultures detest Black atheletes. It's a lot deeper than that word but this blog was about that word so I didn't get into it. Money, the more you dig, the deeper it gets. Once we stop parroting tired and outdated modes of thinking we will move beyond the symtoms and start treating the issues. Once a person reaches a certain finacial status, thier skin color no longer matters in THEIR world. It gets deep. And Smokey, you know better. I live in Philly. We used to have people of all cultures marching for welfare rights. They would tie up traffic down town and cause confustion. They got NO sympathy because if they had time to march, they had time to find jobs and go to school. Plus, they created no tax base because they paid no taxes which reduces the services in their nieghborhods. Why do you think there more services and more benign police services in the more affluent communities? Money, gang. But... this blog is about the n-word.

  • smokeymacpott420,

    Homey, are you serious? did you really say this black vs white shit is old and white people are not trying to hold blacks down anymore. Did you really just say that?? WOW! what country do you live in? because it cant be America. Oh no, not with comments like that. Oh, oh, oh, you must be blind then, is that it. Homey, open your eyes. This black/white thing is in full effect homey.This shit is still going on homey...Do you see the police brutality against blacks. You forget the black dude that got a plunger stuck up his ass in New York, you forget Rodney King, you forget the dude that got shot 40 something times by white cops for pulling out his wallet, you forget the black dude down south who was dragged in back of a truck by a bunch of white supremist, you forget all the different case (within the last 4 years mind you) of white cop beating on black people all over the country.. Thats police , that not even scratching the service of racism in America against blacks. We'll go to entertainment. Why is it that it took all these years to have black actor/actress finally win an Oscar? finally, after all the protesting and crying out we finally have a winner in Denzel Washington and Halle Berry. Why is it that it took so long to have black head coaches in the NFL. Why is it when I ride through a suburban white neighborhood in my town, I get stop by the cops because Im black. Why is it when I go to a mall in the white hoods I get Racially profiled. Oh, wait maybe you've never heard that term racial profile because of course this black/white thing is "old" as you would put it. I cant believe you,son. Especially if you are a Black man in America. What you said is something a white person would say. Homey, slavery still exist. It exist in the mind. Look at it this way, who kills more black people then black people? Black on black crime rate is at an all time high. More blacks are being killed by blacks then every.White people dont have to do anything anymore. They dont have to kill us, call us nigga.The hood aint nothing but a modern day plantation to keep blacks from higher society. The white man says "keep those Niggers in there place" you answer " yes,yes sir". That where calling each other nigga comes in. White man calling you a nigga and you ansering him like "yes, yes I am a Nigga, im going to start calling my own people that because the white man says I am" just like a slave homey. White man got it all set up and I just gave you a few examples of how.Open your eyes smokeymacpott420.

  • Hey...i'm in SA(South Africa) and I would just like to comment...I read most of these blogs and I have noticed one thing.You guys carry on about being gangsta and representing the hood but what are you guys doing to better yourselves?You wanna see your black brothers/sisters become something stop criticizing and just learn from what others have to say and stop selling drugs in your hood(as it's called)...
    no longer called neighborhoods ya'll are not neighbors no more(De La Soul).

    I don't kow about you guys using nigga but you'll never hear any black people from SA calling each other kaffir,we just don't use it,anyway guys try and get educated and forget about being accepted by white people.

    If they think you guys are hypocrites then cuff them...

    R Kelly is guilty cuff...can't even stand to watch any of his videos without cringing

  • Jack you made some GREAT points, but you also stamped what i was saying? Blacks are ALL over EVERYTHING you think, yeah it took a long time for some blacks to win a oscar, but it took longer to get the right to vote! there is ONLY one thing a black man CAN' T be in the USA and that is PRESEDENT! Man black folks can do anything a white person can do, and to really flip it on you, i got Whites friends who deal with alot of the same issue i got. I got this white friend named Jason, and let that fool role threw the hood at night, and BET he will be pulled over and harrassed by the cops, and that same white friend gets looked at strange when he shops at the "Black" malls!!! Man this cat has been beat down more then once and for WHAT you ask, JUST being WHITE in a Black hood! Don't get it twisted I KNOW blacks got it BAD in the USA, but you know what SO DO alot of WHITES!! I agree with you about the welfare thing, GET A JOB! But what i was trying to say is NOT all whites are HATERS of the Black race, must of the ones who do are getting old and dieing off!

  • smokeymacpott420,

    I dont think we are far apart in what we are saying.. I thought you were saying racism doesnt exist anymore. You made it clear what you were saying, but please believe that there are plenty of white people who want to see us fail. One thing you said that I like was the fact that we need more blacks in office and not in rap or sports. That was a good point. The more blacks in office(who arent uncle toms)the more changes we can get in the black community. Lord knows only blacks are going to look out for blacks. Kanye west was on the ball when he said Bush dont give a damn about black people. Its really time for black people to care about ourselves, feel me. If black people can unite we can obtain so much more as a unit instead of pieces. This where my whole slavery is still alive today thing comes in. I think black people in some ways (as sad as it is) are still slaves. Not with shackles and chains but in the mind. Blacks have been tricked into buying rims and jewlery and clothes instead of investing and saving money. Im not going to go into preaching. As far as your friend Jason, what he goes through is unfortunate. Everyone should have a right to go and be where they please without fear of there safety.I think the racial tension in America was created by whites hundreds of years ago. Some blacks feel the best way for them to release there tension and frustration is to lash out on the first white person they see in there hood. Again, it unfortunate but this is our society. I am in no why anti-white, Im just pro black. That my say. Keep your head up brother(see I said brother, not nigga whats wrong with calling each other brother instead of nigga)

  • All this talk about slaver and the old days is over, taht shit aint true. im 16 and i go to a scool in dublin ohio. now some of yall might think, o0o0 he's in dublin he got it made, heel naaw, it ain even like that. in my school we have about 3 or 4 thousand students, and only about 1 or 2 hundred are black. when i walk through the hallway by myself i still get dirty looks from the white ppl just like in slavery days. yea they dont call me a nigga to my face but when im in the restroom and im by myself with three or four white biyz who do you think they look at....yea me. when i go into the stalls all i see is "Die nigger Die". but unlie some ppl i keep movin forward trynna prove to people that my people, my black people can succeed at life. And they dont have to be controlled by white ppl, like Condelezza Rice is.
