pheeeeww, kormega, well done
you got me seriously worried for a second on this one
hey, weed's OK, "you ain't a killer" like Big Pun
so it ain't beef, I'm glad it's none

seriously, my story is almost the same as yours (only i DID wear baggy pants but I don't sell weed )

=*Nigga is not equal to "nigger"=
that was disputed and disavowed
By many conscious brothers
Like Chuck D and others
I'd rather side with them
Than with those trying to sound like black men

So if a black man chooses to step over the line and call a white man "nigger" - hey, that's just alright. i WON'T be offended at all. But since it's a term that is interwoven with slavery and all that racistic shit, i - being a non-black -feel that i have no moral right to apply that originally racistic term to black men. if i apply it to another white man - i'd just sound like i act like a black man who chose to step over that line.

how's that to y'all?
