Forgive my white man's ignorance, but isn't "nigga" sort of, everyone? As in even me? "Man, that nigga old!" I still will never use that word because it's not appropriate for me to. But I've definitely been referred to by Black friends as "nigga." "Nigga, you're a Bears fan? Crazy!"

Whereas ending it with "er" instead of "a" refers to the lower caste like you say? I can't get myself to spell out that word. But whatever someone wants to use as invective toward him works for me.

As to what to do with him?

Leticia James and Fani Willis have stepped up to the plate. And now Jasmine Crockette. Once again, Black women to the rescue!
