Who are you?…
“You mean you are Kenyan? I thought you were a nigger”

oh my.
wonder what your response to that was…
I read an article about this African American who was called a Negro in Kenya. Apparently people back home think the word Negro/Nigger is prestigious. To the lame man in Kenya Nigger/Negro is a superior being to them. Forgive their ignorance. They do not know any better.
I have always wondered though why the Black Americans will call each other nigger but take offence when some other person calls them that? Shouldn’t they stop calling each other the N word then others will follow??Hmmmm, just a thought to relish.
I hear there is a distinct difference between calling someone ‘nigger’ and ‘nigga’ the latter being less insiduous and in camaraderie between ‘bruthas’.
i say ban the stupid word in all its various forms!
There we go again…being Kenyans as usual…lol
