I’ve been increasingly careful not to use “nigga” even as a joke when I realized I’m inadvertantly contributing to the negrification of the kids’ vocabulary when they visit. It used to be ironic and all, but they don’t have the base knowledge required to get it.
I want everyone in the family to be distinct from the rest, when people meet them. There’s something very classy when people realize “wow, I don’t think I’ve ever heard him swear”, already, and soon enough it’ll be “yeah he talk old-fashioned” just because we don’t take up the bussin’ nigga shit, nah’m’sayin’?
