The kid is what they call in insulting terms a Wigger = a fail
That is what I have heard kids like this called.
They fail at what they are trying to embrace by mimicking the worst of cliches
(AA = ghettolife or =ghetto fabulous) which is all very insulting
It may be a homage to a culture,not color they see as more inviting and appealing to them compared to their 'perceived' blah white bread life to act that way, but it is a fantasy filled with serious social faux pas .
You can not deny that some other AAs use the word as you said, so he unfortunately is emulating a stereotype and that is why Wigger is used as a fail insult.
Had the white kid had the family or personal history of an AA they would not be thinking this is how they should be speaking and would be more aware of the history of the N word themselves(like your son)
He has nothing to "reclaim" and has no idea more than a parrot of it's intent when used by others his color . In other words he is a big fail at his attempt to wannabe. Kids act out.
This is not to say others see and appreciate some cultural differences say in music and want to embrace it in their own way
Somebody like Eminem is not a wigger, he's just a white rapper.
Elvis Presley was exposed to diverse music but had his own sound
sorry if I insulted anyone with the language or my opinion and that is just what it is
nothing more
