One of these conditions would be the elimination of that class exploitation which has made poor whites desperate for small gifts of status, and has prevented that unity of black and white necessary for joint rebellion and reconstruction.

The Autobiography of Malcolm X
Q: Why did you send a friend invite? A: Your page shows similar interests. It's not because "you're a wigger!", "ni**er lover", or any other garbage. You probably just have really good taste in music, books, television, and heroes. The film, and this myspace page, isn't about clowning people or making fun of them for their interests.
Q: You are a mascot for a documentary film? A: Exactly. This character isn't a real person. "How the @..!* can I be white, I don't even exist!" So quit asking if we went to high school together.
Q: Where is the documentary going to be sold or played? A: It should probably be finished first. Which leads to...
Q: When is the film going to be finished? A: For right now completion of editing is scheduled for the fall of 2009.
Q: Who are you looking to interview? A: Rappers, record producers, DJ's (both club and radio), graffiti writers, screenwriters, journalists, breakdancers, film actors, thespians, stand up comics, academics, teachers, students, advertisers, publicists, and activists.
Q: Who have you interviewed already? A: Almost every participating person has been linked to as a myspace friend or "top" friend. However, that doesn't mean that every myspace friend or "top" friend IS a participant.
Q: "I am interested in possibly participating in the documentary you are producing." A: Drop an email to wiggerplease@gmail.com with your name, any background info (press releases, web pages, etc.), and contact information and we'll go from there. DO NOT EMAIL IT TO THE MYSPACE ACCOUNT! In the meantime you should read the blog (linked on the main page) for more info!
Q: "I don't appreciate the use of the term "wigger" so why do you use it?"
A: The only answer here is that EVERY person who has written in complaining about the word "wigger" has also dropped the N-bomb in their reply.
Q: Why do you think it is so surprising that white kids are into hip hop?"
A: And for that we turn to Busta Rhymes: "Why shouldn't [white kids] be exploring us? That's the way it's supposed to be, you know? If we'd grown up with a different mind-set then all this shit wouldn't seem so strange. It would be normal and natural for white kids to be idolizing and imitating rap stars. But the powers that be have created all these barriers and segregated us and brought us up not to appreciate each other's cultural significance, so everybody looks at these white kids like they're out of their motherfucking minds."
Q: I find your myspace page rather offensive.
A: It is missing a picture of some model wearing a thong, isn't it? Also, "We need a few more half naked women up in the pool!" But in all seriousness, if you want a discussion on our "ineffectual politics" please feel free to continue the discussion on this blog, the blogs.com page, or in emails.
Q: "do u think paul wall (eminem/justin timberlake/paris hilton/tina fey) is a wigger?" A: That's kind of a stupid question (and yes, there are stupid questions.) Remember, this "person" doesn't exist, so they can't have opinions. Ask these questions on the Wigger Lover blog comments section, or in certain blog entries.
Q: "iz u a h8r" (from N**** for Life) A: "If I don't like it, I don't like it, that don't mean that I'm hating."
Q: "Wow. You really believe that non-sense? Look at Detroit and look at any given country in Africa, do you see a pattern?"
A: There's no answer here. Just go and check out this racist assholes myspace page.
Q: Do you just sit around reading articles on white people all day? And are you one of those "hate whitey" first people?
A: Breakfast comes first. And thank god for Google Alerts, yo.
Q: "[A]re you mad cause you aint shit and wont be because we [white people] holdin it down?"
A: Anyone else think that the girl that asked this question was on the White Rapper show?
Wigger Please is a documentary feature film chronicling the cultural stereotypes of white Americans embracing hip hop culture. Currently in production, the filmmakers are interviewing rappers, actors, artists and writers who have had their political and cultural perspectives influenced by their experiences with hip hop culture. For information on the project, contact wiggerplease@gmail.com
hahaha well, I'm sure all former crack wh*res would also take issue with being likened to Ann Coulter too! lol I mean, basically anyone but maybe Charles Manson would be offended, don't you think? Or should be! But seriously, it was awesome talking with you about this stuff, and I sure appreciate your willingness to consider my point. Rock on, makin' change! All best to you.
Hey! To answer your question... There are some good things about movies like Freedom Writers, BUT I have a problem with the concept of a privileged white person coming in to save all the minorities. I mean, that was the concept of colonization... the ways of the white man are the best and it is time to save the savages. Not cool with that.
Hip Hop Appreciation Week begins on May 14th 2007 and concludes on May 21st 2007. Hip Hop Appreciation Week began in 1998 as a time set aside every third week in May to acknowledge and appreciate the existence of Hip Hop itself. During this time (May 14th-21st 2007) the Hip Hop community refocuses itself through a collective review and update of its own history and core principles and elements. Principles- peace, love, unity and having fun. Elements- Breakin, Emceein, Graffiti Art, Deejayin, Beat Boxin, Street Fashion, Street Language, Street Knowledge and Street Entrepreneurialism. The idea is to celebrate Hip Hop itself.
During Hip Hop Appreciation Week artists can be asked to give sound advice on what they’ve learned about life and living Hip Hop this year. Schools of all sorts are encouraged to discuss Hip Hop academically and critically amongst its students and teachers. Radio DJs can upgrade their play of “conscious” Rap music over the airwaves and parents can discuss the true meaning and history of Hip Hop with their children. During Hip Hop Appreciation Week the Hip Hop community is encouraged to:
- Give the next person the right of way. Allow people to pass you. Do not block a person’s forward movement.
- Donate your skill or profession to someone who cannot afford it.
- At the supermarket give your change to the person behind you in line.
- Be quick to compliment and slow to criticize. Be ready to forgive and move on.
- Tithe 10% of your salary this week to your child’s teacher.
- Ease a neighbor’s pressure by donating your time toward the assistance of some duty they must undertake. Give of yourself this week.
Let us show our respect for Hip Hop with a sincere respect for one another. Men—support the women in your life. Women—comfort the men in your life. And let us all remain committed to the well-being of our children; they are the reason we do what we do. Love your children. Reserve a special love fo
