You can be a "N word" too!!

About 5 years ago, I worked a job at a stuffy, pale (a ton of white people), crispy shirt and tie organization. Shockingly, I fit in pretty well and was able to make a slew of essential connections. One of my closet colleagues was Kingsley, a young African American male who also did not have a criminal record. We were two peas in a pod and worked extremely well together. However, when we would go to happy hours, he would get a little too comfortable with his surroundings and begin to use the "N word" as if it were the word "the."

As you can imagine, the stuffy, pale, crispy shirt and tie wearing people would have the "I just got caught looking at your cleavage face." This left me in a pretty awkward predicament. I knew that they were uncomfortable but I also knew that Kingsley had no idea what he was doing. For some people, the "N word" is a suitable replacement for buddy, pal, friend, or bro.

Since his career and advancement within this organization depended on a cease and desist order on the "N word" I pulled Kingsley aside and explained the situation to him. He responded, "N word, you are overreacting!"

I am not overreacting when I tell you that Nas' new video for his "N word" album is amazing. I actually felt as if I was watching a work of art.

That "N word" is pretty fly!!
