...person, just like any other. In fact, the expression of exasperation, "Niggah, please," can be translated as, "Man, please." The word can even have positive connotations, reference to friends as, "my niggaz," for example, is often reserved for those whom you are closest to, the people who are loyal to you and to whom you are loyal in return...
