My son was called an undercover black brother, what does this mean

[Lisabtrucking]

My son is white, and he told me the kids on the bus call him their undercover black brother. I asked my son and he said it's nothing bad, but I've never heard of it. Have any of you?

12. a white kid that acts and dresses like a black kid is a whigger

replace the N of the N word with WH from white..you know. I thought this was common slang. I guess not.

[Lisabtrucking]

19. And how does a black person dress and act? n/t

[jonnyblitz]

23. i dont know. ask the people who coined the phrase

I am just tellin ya what it means. i thought it was common knowledge.

[Zuni]

15. no

It is urban slang to describe a white boy who tries to act like a black

18. I dunno.. I don't feel like they quite equate.. somehow whigger seems to

be more about usurping the culture. The other one, to me, always meant that the person in question probably had respect for people and their civil liberties and spoke out for blacks.

10. white nigger

it's not a term of affection (usuaLLy, thought not aLways the case).
were these white kids saying that?

4. Is whigger a good thing? I've heard of the word but never seen it used in

context.

[Lisabtrucking]

6. I've never heard of it. n/t

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

9. well...

WHite+nIGGER=whigger.

You can draw your own conclusions on whether or not that's favorable.

11. oh Lord

i've been caLLed that since i was 13.... and i stiLL get caLLed that. i just assumed everyone was exposed to it in some way.

[SheepyMcSheepster]

14. no not really,

i agree wit this definition:

whigger

A disparaging term used to describe a Caucasian person that mimics ghetto and urban vernacular. More commonly used to describe those Caucasians whose only contact with popular urban culture is the entertainment media. A poseur.

16. Well, I'd figured that the wh was for white. yes, poseur makes sense.

2. My guess is that it sounds like has their approval. Like he's an honorary

member of their group.

Or maybe they are saying he's a white guy with a black soul.. like Elvis?

At any rate, it sounds fine to me. :)

5. It sounds like he is being excepted by them.

I was given a similar title in boot camp.

55 AfAm
1 Hispan
4 Cauc

13. I guess, I'm doing a good job then. No racial hatred in my house, and

I went out of my way too make sure my children don't experience the stuff I did growing up.

20. Your chilldren are lucky to have a great mom

Setting a proper example.

[Lisabtrucking]

24. Thank you, I try . n/t

[SheepyMcSheepster]

7. sounds like a compliment.

i wouldn't worry about it. it means he is accepted.

[rocktivity]

17. They probably got the idea from the movie Undercover Brother

It was a comedy, with Eddie Griffin playing a black Austin Powers type. It's definitely a compliment--they like him and feel he's not a bigot.

[sniffa]

21. but who said it to him?

if it is the white kids in my high schooL, it most certainLy wasn't a compLiment. (undercover brother was around Long before that movie, btw)

[Lisabtrucking]

22. They were African American children. n/t

[Ellen Forradalom]

25. Sounds like the Seal of Approval.
