Wigger Days

MEZZA MEZZA
Black Student Sues Minnesota School Over "Wigger Day"



Unplugged
"Wigger is a pejorative slang term for a white person who emulates the mannerisms, language and fashions associated with African-American culture," the complaint states.

[Full]

I'm mezza-mezza on this one.  I  empathize with the Black student who may see this as a racial taunt instead of the culture ridiculing something that begs ridicule—  the black gansta meme.  I see nothing but upside if  grade schoolers go back to greeting one another with "Hey, how are you?" instead of  "What-up nigga?"

One imagines that she is more the permanently aggrieved sort.

The concept sounds like it has potential for a new national holiday.

This homegirl isn't disturbed by her black male peers calling her and her friends ho's and bitches, but seeing white boys with saggy pants and NT Yankees hats cocked sideways completely unhinges her.

I guess she will have to give up her pre-med curriculum to become a baby mama now.

Isn't this prejudiced towards white folks by making fun of the way certain white boys dress, walk, and talk?

I thought criticism of white folks was PC.

Schools need to be privatized.

If Quera's parents don't like the school's activities, they can take their money elsewhere. Everyone wins.

But, but, but, then we'll end up with a segregated school system!

Last I knew she didn't have a legal right to not be offended
