I see my brothers dem calling each other nigga calling da black chirren nigga calling dey heroes nigga calling dey Daddy nigga calling dey self nigga My brothers dem gone so far as to call me nigga I say wait. Hold on - yall know we een niggas, right? When da white man meet da black man we was Kings, merchants, artists, soulJahs, fathers, sailors, philosophers, warriors, architects, healers, historians, astrologists, elders - diverse in trade and skill but united in dignity and pride, self respect and self reliance. Den da Arabs who we did dun been trading with link up wit da white man and dey say - sell us your outcasts, ya lawbreakers and thief dem who yall dun expel from da African communities. And dat turn from sell us ya outcasts to sell us ya enemies. Den dat turn to, run before we tief you too - een no class! All yall is niggers. See, da white man greed tempt him so bad he get tired a dealing wit da black man merchant and his ethical rules. He say he wan build empires for his ego and klan and wan use da black man riches, da black man labour, da black man woman, and da black man child to build it. Now dey dispute our glorious past but one ting we know fa sure, only da devil coulda do to humans what da white man do to us. Transport us naked in vomit, sick, and shit, Skin and castrate da black man - alive; feed da black babies to crocodiles and buckets of boiling tar, whip da black woman till ha skin voluntarily peel off her body Da white man enslave we for over 400 years… and ine talkin hard work in hot sun from 9 to 5 yanno, I talkin over 400 years of dying a death dat doh kill ya body but murder ya soul. I talkin workin harder den donkey and dog, starving us of food and water, but feeding us a poisonous diet of self hate, shame, worthlessness and lies! All packed like disease filled rats and worms into a 6 letter word. Orrr.. Une kno das where nigga come from aye? Deyn tell you das how we came to be called niggers in da first place? Da white man couldn’t just up an hang us from da trees and use our mothers for milk and meat - the world have some decency. He needed a reason to slaughter 50 million plus human beings, and enslave da rest… and nigger was his righteous cause. Wa you mean, why I cut off da black man dick? Rape his wife, and molest his young daughters? Cuz dey is niggers! Das why! Deyn nuttin but savages and barbarians, witches and retards, cannibals, animals, idiots, heathens - dogs. No man, lower den dogs… Niggers! niggers. And yeah you ga different types of niggers - Black black niggers, brown skin niggers, red niggers, bright skin niggers, tall niggers, short niggers, strong niggers, weak niggers house niggers, field niggers, loyal niggers, dumb niggers, smart niggers, queer niggers, cripple niggers, uppity niggers - But niggers all da same! All niggers. Niggers dumb. Niggers dirty. Niggers worthless. Niggers godless. Niggers don’t have no name but nigger. Das who dey is. Das all dey is. Das all dey ever gin be. And watching demons from the hottest pits of hell enslave our once great race, the world accepted this maggot filled, devil made lie that the black people of sub-Saharan Africa were not human beings from whom we all descend, but lowly niggers begging to be enslaved… And it was easy for them to swallow that soul corrupting lie when they ate it with sweet plantation sugar and slave produced salt. Soon our ancestral homelands became the white man’s fantasy land filled with mountains of iron ore, diamonds, sapphire, platinum, and gold, endless plains of fertile land, rubber trees, and oceans and oceans of oil… Why purchase their treasures with money when we can buy it for free with lies and blood? Even den we was too proud to take off Igbo, take off Akan, take off Bantu, take off Wolof, take off Kongo, take off Yoruba, take off Asante and put on an identity formed in the rotten bowels of da white man’s soul - the stinking shit soaked rags of nigger. So the white man, needing our cooperation to execute his evil plan could not understand how chained bodies could hold free men. He mussee say een no point I convince da world dat dey is niggers when dey still know dey come from Kings. Viciously determined to break us, he tied us down, cut us open, and ripped out the only two things that we had left - our pride and self respect. And after an eternity of freedom, the black man was ignominiously plunged into over four centuries of impenetrable darkness… (to be continued…) New Niggas by Dominick Rolle is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Unported License. |
