A (usually Black or minority) sell-out who sits up front and pushes the agenda or gives a Black face (or representative of another disenfranchised group) to policies, actions or institutions inimical to his or her own people or people. A porch nigga or porch negro is you will, is a convenient front-man who holds much less authority than his or her name or title implies. The phrase has long been in common use among Blacks and Whites as well as has this specific meaning. This is not new slang or a racist term per se, though it is obviously impolite and politically incorrect to use in many settings. It is akin to an Uncle Tom, only the porch nigga has some relatively high nominal status and may just be an opportunist or someone who just doesn't care how his role as a front man might be harmful. Porch niggas think that they are special or deserve their high nominal status. Recently a black commentator told Juan Williams at Fox News, when he was fired for an anti Islamic comment from his other gig at NPR that he was going "back on the porch". This phrase was misunderstood by some not versed in American racial vernacular.

Get the perchaps mug.When you’re outside with your buddies and you’re sitting on the front porch or the back porch or really any sided porch, and you crack open a cold brewski with the broskies and start havin those conversations about that asshole coworker or Sally down the street who you just found out is the reason you’re now all Igloo buddies. And then the next day you can’t wait to do it all over again, only this time in order to summon the troops you send out the rallying cry, “Hey, wanna have a porcher?”
Richard: “Hey Dick, how are ya now?”
Dick: “Oh ya know, got a lot on my mind”
Richard: “Wanna talk it over a porcher?”
