Are Teabaggers America’s newest niggers?

Tis true I am not in any position to define “niggers” from a scholarly point of view as is Drs. Cornel West ,“Skip“ Gates or N’aim Ackbar. It is due to the fact my ancestors, friends and I have at one time or another been called “a nigger,” I therefore feel I can speak and only speak about the term from my personal point of view.

The name was placed upon my ancestors and me by a group wanting to identify a person who was passive, illiterate and easily manipulated to work against his own interests when told to do so.

If nigger is the name assigned by the dominant group to a person having those qualifications, I posit it can not be assigned exclusively to a person of color. The only problem the name callers have is identifying only persons of color with that malady and for sure, as slaves, many of us Blacks met the mental qualifications. However, when using the entire definition, the logic is not there due to the fact a color differentiation invalidates the entire premise with the premise being, to repeat, describing a mental condition.

I am not a person who is passive, illiterate and easily manipulated to work against my own interests when told to do so, I am therefore not a nigger but I know people who are: Teabaggers!

Finally, if the total definition of nigger were ascribed to a person because he “is” a person of color, who is “also” a person of color or “who happens to be” a person of color or even “appears to be” a person of color, once again and in my opinion, one is embracing fallacious and dirty logic.
Fighting for the dignity of my Ancestors,
God bless Bill Gates, WPFW, C-SPAN and the spirits of the unborn for the help,

P.S. Note: This is my defense of the word “nigger”.
