Did anybody hear of Damon Wayans (I thought he was always the talented one) trying to liecence the word, Nigga to sell on clothing?! This is ignoance in its true form.
Did he learn anything from appaering in the film, Bamboozled? Or was he there just to have that stupid voice!

jermainebailey,

not but I saw something flash about the Wayans Bros and Oakland settling something. wonder what's going on??

deepseas,

wow, wow, wow I hope they have a plan for this, as in what will be the positive outcome. because not all money made is good money.

and I damn sure don't want to go back to "hey nigga" when a complete stranger sees me on the street.

tamra,
EXACTLY....I dont think he's doing the Bill Cosby trick (By rights to the Little Rascals and not have it aired or tv)..I think he's gonna make money off the shirt because ignorant niggahs will by this and be proud wearing it. Whatever happened to BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL or I AM SOMEBODY...sell that!

Do you guys know how many white people would get their ass kicked? It would be an epidemic. Ya know there would be a whole bunch of white MFs wearing N-word Clothes and hats and shoes and then get the N-word rims and leather interior and decals.

jermainebailey,

yeah I'm definitely waiting to see where this goes because trademarking it won't stop anyone from using the word. but if it starts showing up everywhere we got a problem.

because not everyone understands or uses the word in the same way. kind of like fuck which has soooo many meanings

I got fucked buying a car
who gives a fuck
fuck if I know

but I don't wanna see it on a shirt, yanno.

Momof5,

well if someone white is brave enough to rock the shirt, they're brave enough to get whatever comes from it. it may not be fights, but some dirty looks and immediate dismissals upon entering certain plances.

robfharris,

huh? is that a true story? but that would be something he would do.

but did you ever see that episode of Showtime's Barbershop when the Koreans were opening a store called Niggaz hilarious. the town brought out the torches.
