Those days of sitting in the grass huts are gone, they have evolved quite a bit since then:

You reinforce my point, there's nothing good about them. They haven't evolved at all.

There is no incentive for them to get a job...EBT card, Obamma phones, HUD housing...all of those things were meant to help, but have actually held them back in life. All they have learned; is how to scam to get more.

STOCK UP ON AMMO!

Whitey can't MAKE them work or do anything...that's slavery.

I read this all wrong. This was a positive statement about equality. I thought it was another racist post and the song was used to make that point.

No, it wasn't.

Not sure if it is racist or not, DMX would have a better understanding of the intent.

The song does seem to portrait a group of people that apparently think little of themselves. Maybe other ethnicity groups refer to themselves as racial slurs too, I am just not aware of it. The Hispanics and Latinos might have a song title "My Spix", The Asian or Pacific Islanders might have a song tiled "My Fish Hedz...Even if they don't, it certainly does not mean they lack equality.

The song does have a catchy beat, I might play it loud in the golf cart. Who would not enjoy singing along to "My Niggaz"!

There's nothing TO feel good about.

What is your final solution?

That's only one of the problems. The phrase Niggaz confusing. It's both a positive name within the community and a negative term for many whites outside of the community. Think of the termed colored. It went from positive to negative.

The only example I can think of is from the Sopranos. Christopher calls himself a skinny guinea [sp] and no one raises an eyebrow.

Outside of that, what lyric do you find that demonstrates a lack of self importance? It all looks like a brotherhood or right of passage to me.

Wonder who made it confusing...Well you might discover it is a negative term in the community, if you are not black and you yell to a black guy "Whaz up MY Niggas?".

Possibly no one is as sensitive to racial nicknames as a black guy? What if I said; "Don't call me "white", I am not the color of a crayon, I am Caucasian American", does that come across as overly sensitive?

MY NIGGAS...MY NIGGAS...MY NIGGAS...If you feel a term is derogatory when it comes from others, don't use it to describe yourself.

Can't say I understand much of the meaning in some of the lyrics, but "MY NIGGAS will rob...MY NIGGAS give it straight to the bank when we kill" just does not invoke the thoughts of any "right of passage" that I would advise my children to explore.
