Ok, I know that people have seen this question quite a few times, just revamped, but here it goes.
And I know that it's a lot of questions, but I just want a good discussion going...
I want to know why it is that black people think it's ok for us to use that word? Is it because they don't know the history, or because they just don't care anymore? And why is it that young Brothers and Sisters such as myself, feel that we (we being black people) can use the word, and no one else can? Do young black people realize that by us using the word, we're propogating the image to other ethnicities that it's ok for them to use it?
Also, for the older black crowd, how do you feel about my generation (16-23 year olds) using the word that you all fought against in the 60s?
The most well though out answer that isn't just "we can use it, cause it's our word" gets the points...
