I'M NOT A NIGER!!


Know the meaning.

It's not the color of my skin,

The texture of my hair, 

The curve of my hips or

The thickness of my lips.

If it was just my backside with no color to define me I would be white.

That word wouldn't define me according to the students at my school.

KNOW the meaning!

Niger is not my name and does not refer to the color of my skin.

It refers to the lack of knowledge or in other words an abundance of ignorance.

KNOW THE meaning

Know the person you are talking to

This is no longer slavery days where every black or african american you see is a NIGER

Last time I checked I'm extremely intellegent.

KNOW THE MEANING!!!
