Nigger is a persistent and rebellious word in the history and vocabulary of the

United States of America, and plays a significant role in centuries of terrorist acts

against African Americans. Yet, within the Black community, a curious familial

bond with the word has existed through generations of slavery until today. Nigga

Please!!! Remember Who You Were Before You Were Told Who You Should Be,

presents a theory grounded in ancient and present day Ethiopian nobility which

may explain why this is so, and why the ruling class found it necessary to corrupt

its original sovereignty.


Nigga Please juxtaposes this theory against the blasphemous language and

behaviors of Rap, Gangsta Rap and aspects of Hip Hop culture intersecting

with multi-ethnic versions of nigga being exploited and abused worldwide to the

detriment of African American youth, young adults, and our communities.


vRemember Who You Were offers a basic metaphysical model for re-imaging

America's most enduring dilemma and a prescription for healing from

generational traumas as we move towards restoring our people to our original

greatness. The Honorable Marcus Garvey believed that "if we as a people

knew the greatness from which we came, we would be less likely to disrespect

ourselves." Black survival and the rich musical legacy African Americans have

contributed to the world gives us cause to celebrate our humanity and creativity.

Gangsta lyrics give us nothing to be proud of.
