hope this thread dowsnt offend anyone but...
I was watching a show on TV the other night, its like a 30 minute sitcom, not sure of the name but its directed by Will Smith and Jada Pinkett.
Anyway, the moral of the show (as there usually is one with these kind of programs) was the destructive effect of using the word 'nigga'. Basically the kid in the show says the word 'nigga' to his friend and theres uproar but the kid has no idea what it means...bla...bla
Basically they were trying to show how destructive the word was and how degrading it was to black people
the point is, right at the end of the show they showed 6 pictures one by one, like a slide show of various products over the last century that used the term 'nigger'
1. "1930's" > Nigger Polish (product)
2. "1940's" > Nigger Head Wax (product)
3. "1950's" > cant remember exactly but it was some kind of product that used the term "nigger"
4. 1980's > NWA - Niggaz 4 Life
5. 1990's > 2Pac "Strictly 4 my N.I.G.G.A.Z.
6. 1990's > Jay-Z Nigga What Nigga Who
To me this was like a direct criticism of these artists, as if somehow they were ignorant for using thhat term in there products title
And then i remembered will smith has criticised rap artists for using profanitys in their lyrics so is he jumping back on that bandwagon again
