I'm watching Family Guy right now and Peter was in a skit where he adopted a black son, while he is singing a song about this black son where he stating the child's qualities he adds at the end "and hes a Niga". This is a new episode on regular television. Have they exceeded their comedic license? It ain't feel right to me? Should we leave that word for cable audiences only?
Family Guy using the word "Niga"???

Correction....He said "And also he's a Ninja" not nigga. Pay attention
i thought it was funny. Seth Mcfarlene can get away with ish like. 
are you being sarcastic right now? or did he really say Ninja? If so, I feel like a dik. Fuk it. They prob originally had the word "Niga" in it originally but they were forced to change it.
"ninja", NOT "nigga" 
I havent watched Family guy in like 3 years. I started to notice that even though they do pick on everyone, they seem to pick at black people a whole hell of alot more than everyone else. The show itself just isnt that funny anymore. Stewie wears of after a while and the little jabs at black folks start to go from "I'll look past that last remark" to "This shit is starting to get really old" If what you said was true it isnt surprising. I saw this type of thing coming a few years ago. My question to you is will you tune in next week to hear similar shit???
He may have said ninja, but you know what shock value they were going for, changing a few letters doesnt change the subliminal context. You know what they meant or wanted to say.

I stand corrected. my bad. Also, NO Seth may not get away with that shit. Only White dude that can use that shit is Bob Dylan and he used it correctly in his song "Hurricane"

cosign. ive seen close to every episode of family guy and i can count the number of times they make fun of hispanics and asians on one hand. they even had an entire show about brains dislike for blk people... dr dre in particular. so yeah when south park did a family guy parody they were on point. their whole formula on the show is based on flashbacks and jokes pointed at minority groups.

But what I dont understand is how people can still watch that show. It's like people are allowed to be overtly racist whenever there just using voiceovers applied to cartoons. If this were a sitcom with real people could they get away with shit like this???
They can get away with this type of shit because we lost the game. Every gain that was fought for since we were brought here is gone. You can forget about it. There is no one to stand up against this type of shit. Can't look at the hip hop community, they too busy buying blood diamonds and beefing with other dumb ass rappers. Can't look to the "civil rights" community, they too busy selling out to the highest bidder. Can't look to regular folks, they too lazy and don't give a shit what happens as long as they can go clubbin and try to dress like Lil Wayne and Beyonce. Can't look to the activist community, they too busy condemning other black people to really focus on shit outside of the community, shit is sad and there is nothing we can do about, all of our complaints will be ignored, or Jesse Jackson will say it's alright and defend them and then cash his check he got from Fox.Mt.

Face it, we lost.
Does it really matter.
Family Guy is a pathetic show. It is stupid and it's not funny at all.
I can't stand the Stewy lemmonhead asshole. He is the one that basically destroys the show week in and week out.

not to mention... white folks love a show that makes racist jokes, ie: mind of mencia. although they are the majority, they are growin tired of being the butt of all the jokes. they are growin tired of having other racial groups make jokes of them but they not being allowed to do it in return. so in a way, the show is pretty much catering to what the majority of its watchers wanna see.
He says Ninja not Nigga! Are you retarted? Hes clearly dressed as a ninja in the end of the song. I'm not hearing any complaints about the holocaust joke they made in that episode.
You guys are looking into it entirely too much. I don't recall the same people saying the same thing about the Dave Chapelle show. At the end of the day, they aren't seriously trying to offend anyone, and if you can't take it, then don't watch the show.
OK, you fucked up. Now STFU!

Cmon brothas, read between the lines. They did what they needed to do to make it stick. Of course he would be dressed like a ninja to pull off the joke, but you damn well what they were getting at. We substitute the word ninja for the other word on here all the time. Lets not be simple. You very well know whet they meant.

Not saying that the show was right or wrong, but the original poster stated that Family Guy used the word nigga--not that they meant it. Hopefully anyone with half a fuckin' brain knew what they meant.
Its some absolute idiots in this thread. *smh*
Bingo, hit the nail on the head. I'm a nigga so if some one uses the word nigga I don’t get offended doesn’t matter if they white, Black, Asian, or Indian but that’s just me I’m to smart to get mad at people for calling me something I call myself. I know some of you don’t like the word “nigga” so I can understand why your mad.Rawness said:
Let me know when Peter calls some one a Ni gger then I’ll get mad with you

You know, at what point does shit become unacceptable for us??? Do they have to have a Kramer moment for you to get upset that they could care less about what we as a people think??? I mean why is when a company markets to a black demographic it's has to be on some type of hip hop shit???? Are we only capable of acknowledging something if it's prepackaged in a hiphop wrapper??? The incident itself isnt that big of a deal, its the fact that they say shit like this and noone seems to even bat an eyelash. Because we say it, its okay if a crakka says it??? WTF??? This is why they do it, right here folks.

I just got to your post and had to comment on WTF you just said... Haven't you ever heard of a show called "All in the Family?" Main character, Archie Bunker used to talk about Blacks, Jews, Hispanics, hell, EVERYONE! He was a bigot of all bigots, and ppl STILL find that shit he said on that show funny. So, no, Family Guy isn't the first, or the only thing on broadcast television that uses racism in their scripts. Carroll O' Connor(sp?) has been doing it since the 60s-70s, I think.Mt. Yukon said:
It's too late to take what they did on Family Guy serious. If you want it to be serious for future generations, go after the people who make the word nigga, ******, etc... acceptable today, ourselves (or if you're older and wiser, people who act like you did when coming up) hip hop artist, comedians looking for a laugh, etc... I'm guilty of using the word in all types of conversation without regard for its true meaning or origin, as I'm sure most of you are too.
Judging from the fact that the word "nigga" in my second sentence isn't censored, whereas the correct spelling of the word made popular during slavery is censored shows that even the people responsible for creating/modifying BGOL are guilty of using the word without regard for what it really means. If the word nigg <--> er is going to be censored then so should the word nigga, they ultimately mean the same thing.
Damn, this board sure does have some sensitive
