An African American woman I used to work with and I had a long conversation about that word one time. I think it's horrible, and that it's so representative of negativity and evil.
But she, on the other hand, said that when black people use it now, they're empowering themselves to rise above it and give it it's own meaning, or make it less harsh.
I seriously don't understand that one bit.
- it's just like when we joke and call each other "cunts" or "queers." they are still offensive terms but regarded differently7point34
- the n-word just holds more weight7point34
- Yeah 7point. That's pretty close to how I see it anyway.Glitterati_Duane
- exactly, 7.34. there ARE other words that are offensive. not as offensive, but still offensive.Jaline
