you are as you think of yourself...some of the most beautiful and intelligent people on this planet are black. Just calling yourself 'nigger' shows a lack of self respect.

Artist Reply: Nigger is just a word, period. The only power white people and people who art hurt by it is it's association with inferiority. Every day of my life I endure some type of ism based on skin, height, weight, education and talents. I accept my fate in this life and there is nothing I can do to change the hearts of racist who want to pretend they are better than anyone so they can justify living a life of luxury. I take pride in being a nigger, so I donot have face God on Judgement as human being who PRETENDED they are SUPERIOR to their neighbor based on their skin, the knowledge in their head or the way they look; all things that will come to pass as surely as the sunset. A nigger is all I can ever be and I am very proud of it.

anyone can change their lot in life, no if's and's or buts!

Artist Reply: "any one can change their lot in life, no if's and's or buts" is a racist statement.--------------------------------------- Are saying the millions of people who go from cradle to grave as poor people could of change their life. I succeeded in school, but denied an opportunity of decent jobs not because of my ability to do a job, but because to many people refuses to work with niggers, certain men with black skin. ---Can a retarded person become un retarded, Can a man on death row, change his sentence, ---Can an old person become young again,----Can those who are poor become rich instantly.---Are their not disease that cannot be cured.---Are their not people both black and white who nothing I ever do will be good enough for them.-----For me to be a racist I would have to be in some type of power and I donot have any.
