"Nigga" vs "Nig'ei"


First of all, what is a nigga?  According to the youth's definition,


According to Tupac,


“Niggers was the ones on the rope,  hanging off the thing. Niggas is the ones with gold ropes,hanging out at clubs.”



According to White people, this term was derived from the word "nigger" which to them was used as a contemptuous term for Black people.

According to the NOI its dead black people.  "Dead" meaning incapable, not owning anything.

Crunch it all up, Basically, its hated black folks who don't care what people think of them and who own nothing but depreciating items.

But that is not the definition of all Black people even though we are all thrown into that verbal abyss.  What to do about that?  Black folks are up against, the "nig'ei"  what is that?   The Book of Leviticus, Chapter 13 speaks of those who spread slander and rumors.  Lies or ugly truths to destroy a person's character, etc.  These people are called "cursed." (nig'ei = curse of).

What do these two have in common? One, the nig'ei, lies and slanders and just won't stop.  the other, the nigga, is lied and slandered against non-stop..

Truth can fix both.  But how?  Where is Truth's strength?  And why has it been silent all this time?

Truth is in the hands of the sages.

Only the sages - the wise ones can dictate what is true and that is why the nig'ei wants to wrestle everyone's imagination.  And that is why lies and slander is so bad that people must move away from them as fast as they can and by any means necessary.

Every time a holy person, devoted to G-d, keeping the mitzvoth with good middoth, speaks out, he shines a light and radiates, It's like another section of the universe has been opened up and expanded.  When these tzaddikim decides a halachah is xyz, then the halachah is xyz.  We have gotten to the point that the very thought of anything positive about Black seem absurd!

Do we want a light to be shined towards Africa's positive?  The potential Garden of Eden that it can become?  Maybe used to be?  Study Torah and speak good words about Africa, the people, the animals, the plants, speak good into the world.

We can't stop the "nig'ei" from slandering...hence, we can't stop the creation of a shadow, but we can work towards building a beautiful existence nonetheless.

In Israel we are supposed to "settle the land and cultivate faith."



Have faith in Israel.  Have faith in her potential.  Have faith in Africa as well.  Father Israel, Mama Africa.
