Is 'Wigga' racist?

the main problem I have with wiggas is the fact that they can choose to turn their blackness on or off.....one minute they talking black the next thing you know they back to sounding "white"(as one board member said which was kind of a hmmmm moment). But the fact is black people have to deal with alot of shit and sterotypes, alot. Not saying that Muslims, Jews, Whites, Mexicans or whatever don't have too but we as a people have so many negatives going our way it's sad (and it doesnt help when fellow blacks are giving the media and dumb ass closed minded people shit to use against us). All of a sudden being black is the cool thing to do.....although this speaks on the progress we as a nation have made from just 40 years ago (not too long just look at yo folks kids). The sad thing is that I, unlike the wigga, can't turn my "black" off. And most of these wiggas dont have any clue on how it is to be black (least most of them and those that do are not consider wiggas by there peers usually). They have no sense of black history it is just a fad. Wiggas make me sick, fake people in gerneral make me sick....they have no idea what the fuck it means to be black. It's like if I was to study French, start to speak it flunetly and then learn all I can bout the history of Frecnh people even if I go to France I will never be more French then a French person since I was born and raised in the US. Same goes to wiggas. But do I hate wiggas or think the term is racist, no. Most wiggas consider it a postive(after all they are making a concious chocie to dress in clothes that have been tailored to an urban audience)...I can't hate people who want to be like me. I'd want to be like me too 
I wouldn't be suprised if it was older white people who created this term to steer there kids from being the scary black man on BET

There is an extreme portion that do, yes. Having lived in the ghetto (baton rouge, la) I have seen this. The fact that we kill each other more then any other race (from what I heard on CNN or such) proves that we are. But the fact is there are alot more that aren't that are not being recognized at all. There is a larger number then people know about. The fact that makes it even more diffcult for black people is balancing wanting to step outside of these sterotypes and still being rec. by your people. No matter what anybody tells you being extradiated from your people is a fiath worst then death (you'd hear Pac talk bout it all the time). It's all bout balance. X did it the best, MLK (to an extent) did it, Pac as well and I try to still balance my hertiage with my ideals. The fact is yes there are a lot of sterotypes that I, as an individual, fall into but not all sterotypes are negative at least not to me. The fact I can play ball, love kool-aid and eat chicken is not negative to me cuz I enjoy those things, now if someone had said "you like thiose things just cuz your black" then I might get upset.
We just lack a good leader that can relate to both the "nigga" and "African-American" in us(black people). We don't have such and havent had such since the 1960's (although Pac had the most potential out of any of these self-proclaimed leaders). Black people have the worst sense of history out of all races, but the fact is whites lack history as well (not all but some). When a white person can walk pass a black person and call there white friend a "nigger" and then realzie that there is a black person near and just laugh like "oops" then we know how fucked up things are (true story that happened to me on, of all days, Jan15th MLK's b-day). People tripping out by the word "wigga" have no sense of history whats so ever and thats on so many levels.
White people, we have no clue what it's like. Some white people like to buy different styles of clothes, listen to different types of music, that might be associated with black people...but fuck it, who said there was a "black person's" brand. Fuck thinking like that, i got better shit to worry about. I dont give a flying fuck wheather or not a complete stranger looks at me as i pass by and think...that kid's a wigger.
wigga is not racist, its just fucking stupid.

I have to say that their are alot of white kids around here that have all of a sudden became Mac Dre lovers.....kids that just two years ago were into rock music and skating now are underground Murs/Aesop Rock fans....hyphy these kids get rcokin the thizz face....it's just kids lookin for identies.....shame they are so weak willed though. These kids could also be seen as wiggers(well nto so much the skaters who like underground hip-hop)

There's no reason in arguing over it because nothing will change. People will still continue to be ignorant and they'll continue to use the word. If you are a white dude and you somehow give off the vibe that you like rap/hiphop music, you'll most likely be called something like that or they'll be thinking it.
