I dnt use the "N" word (only if im excited) but that duznt make me condemn those who use it.

The best way to fight something you hatewhoseexistence is inevitable is to get used to it.The Black Manhad to get used to it when the white man called him N**** and by calling each other n****z, it made it so much easier to take in wen the white man called him by that name early at 4 for an allnew day's reaping in the plantations...

It works. a word that you hear evryday (however"heavy " it may sound) may neva hav as much weighting as that which is too taboo to say frequently...

Thus, the usage of that name became common. however, the new era of hip hop has changed the significance of using the word. Saying the word has become, supposedly, "black culture". No it hasnt. It is a word used by rappers that evry1 ends up using including our fellow beings: WHITE PEOPLE!! yay! Many thanks to ice cube, dr dre, 50 cent etc!!!!!
