Icon22 Saggin'

Comment: One of my african-american employees showed me a nearly
amusing text message she recieved on her cellphone from one of her friends
at school.

The idea is this: White people are supposidly using the word "Saggin'" in
reference to black people who wear their pants hanging low. If you
reverse the spelling of saggin, you find a semi-clever use of the word
"niggas." Saggin, according to the text message, has become the new way
in which white people can call black people niggers and get away with it.
