Maybe I’m giving it too much thought or that im just too paranoid, But fuck it I feel I have to take a stand against something that I don’t like. Yesterday, while in class a classmate was preparing to do a little adlib for the camera. His improve was funny acting like a car salesman and throwing in things like “Bling-Bling” in a very uncool way. Then someone yelled out “Say FaShizzle mah nizzle!” and I instantly dropped my grin. The dude didn’t use it and I was appreciative of that. Instead he continued to do his uncool fashion and used “dizzuel”.
I feel if I’m near another person of my race that lets a white person use that phrase it’ll be too soon. We all know what it means. I could careless if it’s not indirectly saying it because to me, you might as well say nigga anyway. I don’t play that, personally and letting someone embrace something that I feel offended towards is something I can’t tolerate. I realize I can’t control what comes out of peoples mouths but I do have the power to walk away and end all ties with that person.

Ohhh man. This has got controversy written all over it. I HATE that kind of thing man. Dudes coming up to me thinking because they watched MTV 2 last night, they've got a "how can I be Down" pass to say stupid shit to me. You wouldn't begin to know how many times a week I hear stupid stuff like that. In the gym, in the art studio, on the streets, wherever man. You kept it right by keeping it moving. But I'd have to tell the person who was trying to instigate that guy to say that 'fashizzle' nonsense a little about himself though...
