White Boy Who Says "Jigga" Still Being Offensive

TIPTON, Oh.- Tipton native and self-proclaimed "whigger", Corey Banks is still being a piece of rubbish when saying the word "jigga" in place of the highly offensive n-word.

"Nah homes, I can't get slapped for that. I didn't put no 'n' at the front, it's cool," Banks said. But it's widely known in his hometown and the national community that he's still a disrespecting, racist fool. "He's gonna get hurt saying that word some day, and I'm gonna laugh," said his best friend Gerard Truman. "I love watching an a$$ beating."

When I spoke with some local African Americans about Banks' use of the word, one of them, Thomas Dungan said, "How could he be so ignorant to think that one letter means he's changed the meaning? He knows very well what that word means, I know what that word means, so I don't use it-none of my black friends do, because it's disrespectful. It's a shame that a white man is trying to covet a black man's society, and is doing so by insulting our entire race. Homeboy needs to go home and play some video games." A small crowd had gathered and promptly applauded after Dungan's speech. They then proceeded to put him on the shoulders of a large man and march to the center of town chanting their praise.

My interview with Dungan abruptly concluded, I went to speak with a perplexed Mrs. Banks. "You're going to have to explain to me what a 'jigga' is. I've tried asking my son, but he mumbles and tells me to 'f*%k off'," she said mid-laugh. "He's just so silly, 'jigga' this, 'jigga' that, 'ey jigga, when we throwing a kegger in this piece?' It never gets old." When told the translation of all the gems her son Corey had been saying, such as, 'superman dat hoe,' and 'getting dome,' she was silent and could not avert her eyes from the TV. (We quietly left out the back door and called the paramedics, she's still under bed rest, but has regained the power of blinking.)

Corey, confronted by all of this information, said, "Jigga, you think I give a f*%k? Now move the f*%k out of the way, you're blocking Maury!" Mr. Banks could be heard deeply sobbing in the kitchen. He had just gotten off the phone with Mrs. Banks' doctor who said that the damage was irreversible. Mrs. Banks was diagnosed as terminally mute. When we called her for an update, all that was heard were scratches and what sounded like a faint "Jigga say what?" in the background.
