(I can hardly beleive it myself) :o

The conotation of "nigga" at this point in history is not the same as it was when it was put out there - to dehumanize us (us Black folx) and to transcend them.

I for one, normally use the word in negative ways... like in expressing my love for Black people and dislike for Niggaz.

And it is overused more so in some generes than others. But that hardly makes it the mainstay or vehicle of linkage to identification that is postulated here.
