First off hand let me make clear of a few things:
1. I am an African-American
2. I was raised in the inner-city where this very loaded word has populated many tongues
3.I am not a racist nor prejudice against other races from my own
4. I am an advocate of freedom of speech and feel that all people should express any thought,idea, or concernthat they are enlightened with that won't offend other people.
5. Many of my ideolgies anf beliefs are built around the harsh realities living in the inner cityy for most of my life and mild influence from hip-hop
Okay, so more and more as I have grown up and observed people in America. I am starting to see this word thrown so loosely. I am only felt uneasywhen I see people who don't appear to me to be of African American descent using the word with such boldness. For example back in highschool, which waspredominately latino this word would touch the tongues of many students black, and latino alike. And when I heard the latino using this word I was offended.The word to me means alot, to be able to say that we have transformed as a race one of the most degrading and evil terms to refer to us and give it a betterlight wheter ignorant or not is a blessing. So when I see other people trampling over that progress it just makes me saddened. Whats your take on this nt.
