I Am Nobody’s Nigger



 Certain words can really hurt or bother a person. The word “nigger” is used a lot and can be reacted to in a negative way. In the rap Dean Atta wrote he talks about how he doesn’t appreciate being called a nigger. He brings up rappers that use that word like nothing. Like if they were going against themselves by saying that. When people say nigger they are being portrayed as low class and “ghetto”.  Not all black people are "ghetto" and there are a lot of successful people that think that term is offensive. People shouldn’t say that word like its nothing because they don’t know how it can reflect on others. In the rap Deans main point is about how black people been through a lot and should be respected. It really stood out to me when he says, “ call me “nigger” cos you’re scared of what “brother” means.”  Bother shows love with more meaning and nigger can sound negative. People need to think about what they say before speaking.
