I hear my students use it all the time in school. Not just Afrikans born in Amerikkka, but all my students. I have been making a conscious effort not to use it around family and friends myself. What is it about this word? We treat it differently, like no other. During this episode of "Being Afrikan" I will take a look at the "n" word, nigger, nigga. I will talk about its origins, its ourstory, and how we look at it today. Come and keep me company tonite on "The Mind Beneath the School".
