“Nigga....the whole world say it’s a racist word. ...around 2000, 2001 - they change it around. That means a male....any kind of male. Any kind, (even) Chinese...my Chino...but (say) nig-grrrrrrr - (and I) advise you not to be around black people, because they not gonna have it like that. - Rachel Jeantel on CNN, July 2013. (snip)”

Translation from the Ebonics:

" 'Nigga'...that word, pronounced as it is spelled...is seen by the entire world as a racial epithet. Somewhere around the years 2000-2001, someone...I'm unsure who...changed the literal meaning. It is now used, mainly by Afro-Americans, to mean 'male' of any race....even a Chinese male.
However, if one utters the word 'nigger', it would be best if one were not in the company of Afro-Americans when uttering it. For they will simply not stand for it and will demonstrate their displeasure by physically assaulting those who would utter it."

Thank you, Mrs. Cleaver...

Someone notify Paula Dean. Am certain with her accent she is used the non-offensive word!

That’s an excellent job of channeling Barbara Billingsly from her ‘Airplane’ role. :=)

Thank you Bloody sam roberts for knowing how to speak “Ebonics” and translating that. I don’t speak “Ebonics” I only do my best to speak proper English as often as possible.
