In Reply to: "Nigga Please" should be just as OK as gay jokes posted by Johnboy on August 08, 2001 at 02:13:37:
: Think about it. Jay jokes around about things being "gay," we all
think about how stupid he looks. Gay phobia goes down as a result.
People get ammunition to use when their friends act stupid, ie "don't
act like Jay."
: Same theory applies to "Nigga please." White suburban kids start
to use it, and the term loses its pejorative value and becomes
positive. Ten years from now teens will wonder why white
supremacists are using a slang word for friend as an insult.
: In both cases tolerance of diversity becomes greater. Don't be so
defensive about a term making its way from a subculture out to
society at large. These are positive developments.

that kind of freedom. Just look at J-Lo.
