A Savage View, the "N" Word, and Wrestling With History

Last week Jesse Jackson dropped the N bomb and threatened our next President with castration. This week, Adam and the Thomas sophmorically discuss race, Michael "the Weiner" Savage, The housing crunch, and the mavericostic life of John McCain. This episode is like a winding river, both lazy and free-spirited, with a touch of Herpetophobia, as one might expect when lounging in a slow river. Fortunately, there are cool Latin grooves pushing us along, and Adam would be the first to panic and dive in the water if a crocodile were spotted. More like buttered squash than plain squash, these are the words and wisdoms of The Left Coast Liberals, patriotic to the extreme, gentlemanly to the point of irritancy, and in no way resembling a cage fight.

Far be it for my whitey-gansta-booty to know better than you whiteys, but there IS a difference that is important to note when it comes to the N-word. I picked this up from the growing up in the P-town hood (Petaluma-East Side, baby):
Nigger: a derogatory term referring to blacks dating back from slavery.
Nigga: a term reserved for blacks to refer to themselves in a more subdued, brotherly manner.

There's a big difference. When you hear rap music, like NWA and such, they say "Nigga" exclusively. Check the Jesse Jackson quote, and all others you mentioned in your show - they should be saying "Nigga" and in that case it's like a Jew making fun of being Jewish - it's ok for one's own to make fun of themeselves; it's not ok for outsiders. So when a white person mistakes Nigga for Nigger, it's a big deal. Sorry to take you to school, but there it is.

Also, I did some reseach and found out John McCain's plan to "win wars" as he says he knows how to do. It goes like this:
1) Become a Top Gun-inspired fighter pilot and womanize
2) get shot down, beat up, thrown in POW camp for many years
3) wait for the war to end and be released back into high society on mommy and daddy's ticket.
(OUCH!) Now THAT's a liberal's perspective on J-McCain.

Great job fellas - keep up the good work,
