Whiger

Friend explained to me, as I had not heard the term prior, as she is married to a man of color, informed that a Whiger is a white guy who hangs out with black guys, usually gang related, and wants to be and try's to be black by mimicking black gang type talk, actions etc. Two words combined, White and the N. word to make Whiger, sad I think! But seemed to make some sense.

Look, I am a 57 year old white guy that is not a Whiger and spends his time working for change and racial understanding, and I think the word speaks for it's self. I am not going to put my name to the word but suggest that maybe you can put this out so a young person can better give you the rest of what your asking. It seems to be very common and in use, surprised me to hear it but I sure did get what it meant from the point of view and conversation that I heard. Good luck!

P.S. I was just looking for another explanation of this term and really surprised to not find it, kind of funny that an old guy like me is writing to the Urban Dictionary, strange at best... Peace
