The word "nigger" has two main variations today, and both were expressed beautifully by Tupac. The word also carries with it a privilege, the privilege that only some people are allowed to use this word. And that's what African descendants call each other as a way to connect in a brotherly kind of way. In areas like "Bomton" - otherwise known as "black compton" - "brothers" may see each other casually at the convenience store and address each other as "my nigga" or "nigger" as they prefer. Now imagine the same scenario but with two Caucasian males saying exactly the same thing. It's strange right? This is because the word is still highly debated today. It is unclear whether the word should be banished from everyone's lips or whether it should be left for all to identify
