There are belief's that 'Nigger' originaly meant God, in africa. I dont know the in's and out's of this but somewhere along the lines this was lost in translation during the horrific period of the slave trade. Possibly Nas and Kelis are making this statement here, i dont know. What i do know is that since that terrible period the word has been used to degrade and catagorise people sheerly because of there colour, the definition found in most dictionary's and websites is 'nigger n. extremely offensive term for a dark-skinned person', ' Nigger(n.) A negro; -- in vulgar derision or depreciation.', one incredible definition i found is 'nigger Noun1. (ethnic slur) offensive name for a Black person; "only a Black can call another Black a nigga"'.

The point i am making is that a definition is found from the general use for a word, the general understanding of a word. It is communication, clothes communicate, you communicate, words communicate. What are you communicating and who are you communicating to? Take what you want from what i have said above, the main point i am making is THINK about what and why you are communicating what you are and when THINKING, think beyond the obvious.
