Talk:N.W.A

message: This section alone feels more political than factual. It has 1 source of a 1998 peer reviewed paper. I support a 'controversy' section, but these two sentences just fall out of place. PeaceKeeper1234 17:35, 7 May 2019 (UTC)

thread_title: "Niggaz"

message: It is stated in this article that "Niggaz Wit Attitudes... is broken English for Niggas With Attitudes."  The use of the term broken English is incorrect and can be seen as disrespectful to speakers of African American English.  "Niggaz Wit Attitudes" is a band name, making grammatical errors irrelevant, and spelling the words this way is intentional and is part of common spelling and speaking practices in African American English or Language, not broken English, which implies that to speak or spell this way is incorrect or wrong.  Calling phrases like this "broken English" has a history of discrimination and racism.
