For the record and on a side note, I don't think that the way we dress is better than theirs, and I really enjoy the rap outfits I meet very often in my area, since I live in a poor suburbanite town, and the way they play with the body proportions. In addition, I never received from them any aggresive or astonished look, unlike from real Parisians.
Imo the real question is elsewhere : Why do some black people use the pejorative/insulting word "nigger" (or "nigga", or "niggaz", or "niggasz", etc.) to interpelete each other ? I would see two possibility, one positive and one negative.
In a kind of Aïkido move, they would have defused the insult by making the word their own, but I'm not convinced at all. I'd rather think of it as a kind of alienation by the ennemi's wording, and a sign of some sort of acquired self disdain. But I'm hope I'm wrong.
