I find myself really not caring.

Why should they replace it? And why are we supposed to believe that “Black” people who use the term are not doing so in a negative context. I simply refuse to believe “Black” people who use that term regularly see anything positive in the community.

I am tired of this conversation. The n-word is ugly. No matter who uses it. And it past time for us to stop using the word. We hear all kinds of excuses for “Blacks” to hang onto to this ugly term. This term robbed us of our humanity for centuries and now we make excuses to continue its use. I think it is symbolic of…

Let explain. I don’t want to be called the n-word by a “Black” person either.

No, that isn’t it at all. She probably thought it wasn’t offensive. Because he obviously doesn’t think it is offensive. How does he justify using the word, if he is offended just because a “White” person says it?

I think some “Black” folks have gone and lost their entire minds. If you use the word, then you have given Latinos, “Whites”, Asians, etc. the right to use it also. This is just crazy. To use the word with a “White” person and to expect they won’t repeat it back to you. It was a setup. This is ridiculous.
