Is 'Wigga' racist?

[Jakwon K]

Wiggaz, man, a wigga is a dude that acts like the black stereo type.

eg. here is a picture of snoop dogg, as you can see, hes leaning on a wall, thinking bout the good times, just casually enjoying the mood

Not a care in the world, its all good, people are walking past, he nods his head, enjoying it, hes feeling good and people around him accept his presance and are cool with it.


This however..hmmm

i dont exactly know what gang she represents, my guess "the suburb born bangers",the look on her face is clear "man, fuck this cold world, fuck this shit me not getting 50s new album is fucked, this is what 2Pac meant by pain", unlike snoop whos chilling, nodding to the peeps, this woman scares the peeps, oh no, dont mess with her, she might get it your face and quote a rapper, gotta love the field behind her, her people sure did have some hard times owning them fields.

I do not consider them a race either, but by definition of the English and American dictionaries, and by law, cultural groups are races. As I said in a previous thread, this also includes groups defined by disability, age and sexual preference.

Well not really, but if you want to get overly technical I suppose you could say that, but does that mean that communists, hippies, nazis, republicans, greenpeace activists are all races too?

I don't look at it as racist, it's just extremely disrespectful. It means you are trying to be something you aren't. It's calling you a wannabe. Now how isn't that really disrespectful if it's really important to be yourself?

Wiggas dont even take it as racist...that should tell you something right there.

It is a word to describe white people who act black, from the way they speak to the way they dress etc. It is not a term used to describe someone who has an interest in black culture or who likes hip-hop.

The problem with your arguement here is that it is IMPOSSIBLE to act "Black" or act "white." Anybody who says someone can act black, or act white, is in themselves racist. Because there is no such thing as acting like a certain race, or acting as if you have a certain skin color. You can't do that, because not every member of that race acts in accordance with his peers, or the stereotype set down for them.

So therefore, a wigger CANNOT describe a person who tries to act black, because thier is no such thing as "acting black" or "trying to act black."

yea wigga's the new poser of this era. Not to mention Wigga isn't a very affective tool in detering people from acting black.

 

[Illuminattile]

The problem with the term is that it's used only to refer to white people. Black people who themselves perpetrate the stereotypes that wiggas play off don't get tarred with the same brush.

Hahahaha....this new dude is pretty funny^

He's not exactly a "new dude"...

 

[Prize Gotti]

Yes that's one of the definition's of race but not the definition used when talking about racism.

In the eyes of the law, if you discriminate against a cultural group, and use that discrimination in a criminal activity, such as assualt or murder, your act of crime is 'racially motivated' and an act of racism.

Well not really, but if you want to get overly technical I suppose you could say that, but does that mean that communists, hippies, nazis, republicans, greenpeace activists are all races too?

Nazis = Yes
Hippies = Yes

The rest are organisations and/or political partys.

lol @ SicC



Wigga isn't racist. A racist term describes a race. Wiggers are not a race. No matter how you spell it.


It is a word to describe white people who act black, from the way they speak to the way they dress etc. It is not a term used to describe someone who has an interest in black culture or who likes hip-hop.


Where's Chronic when we need him. He loves the wigger discussion. Infact I'm gonna search for that thread.

What exactly does acting black mean?

There's billions on this planet who have dark pigmentation that are considered black, so how exactly do you act like them?

 

[SiGh]

^u know exactly what he means..why u even bother askin?

 

[Tru Principle]

I think it's a word for white people that act like black thugs and call each other "nigga"... Is this your definition of white person intrested in black culture? Lol, "intrested in black culture" is already racist alone imo when the word "wigger" refers basicially to the gangster shit

Once again, what does acting like a black thug mean?

 

[Tru Principle]

the definition of a wigger is very simple...


the wigger is more of a racist than those of us who label him as such. the wigger believes that black culture is the same across person and region, and that all black people are a certain way - they all listen to hip hop, they all dress in baggy clothes, and they are uneducated clowns. while the wigger is trying to give props to black culture and gain an entry to it, he is actually just as racist and pathetic as the redneck who hates blacks. the difference is that the redneck wears his hate as a badge of honor, so you can see where he stands at all times; while the wigger is a confused moron who idolozes the same people he has created racist generalizations about.

exactly.. not every person with dark skin listens to hip hop, dresses in baggy clothes etc..

Being dark skin isn't a way to act, so how can one ACT like a black person... so all black people are exactly the same ?

How mature

 

[Tru Principle]

my time before that was spent in the gutter of my city Flint Michigan.Poverty doesnt discriminate but Mtv an BET would have you believe only African Americans live in the "hood" or are all impoverty an uneducated, in which i agree with Dante, is a racist thought an ignorant belief :thumb:

Once again, I agree. Being from the hood doesn't mean you HAVE to have dark skin. Anybody, white black yellow brown .. anybody can be from the hood.

 

[Tru Principle]

^u know exactly what he means..why u even bother askin?

No Sir, I don't know exactly what he means. If one says "acting black" does that mean... black/dark skinned people act all the same?

I'm sorry but, the reason why some people have dark skin and others don't is a matter of evolution. Genetically speaking, a dark skinned human will appear similar to a light skinned human and you can't tell if one has dark or light skin from a DNA test.

 

[SiGh]

I think when he posted it, I think his intentions were to say the "hiphop/rapper wannabe" type of shit. I dont think he meant it in a technical way..u know?

I thought you knew what he meant, but was picking out the technicality.

sidenote: u know u cant quote more than one person PER post? and respond to all of them in one post.

I agree 100%, :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:
