Watch This, It may give some of you an insight on why its wrong to use this word, or change the meaning or spelling, it doesn't change the connotations of the word.

Your giving people like him an excuse to racially abuse us, not that white people need one anyway. It really does bring it home when there is actually room for debate when a white teacher calls a black pupil a*igga! Makes me glad that i live in the UKbecause that would never happen over here!

I am not looking for approval or acceptance from a white society that doesn't like me anywayand never will. Care not about them. At the same time when im being racially abused i don't want no white man telling me its because we (black people) say its ok to do so, because then, because of the idiot ignorant contingent, i have no argument!

We have created a grey area where this word is concerned and i constantly ask myself - WHY???confused3

What are the benefits?

The word has not been neutralisedor had the 'sting' taken out of it at all, its still as offensive as it has always been. So all theAfricans who say they are using the word for that reason should realise that now, after400 or whatever years, your quest has failed and just stop. Just stop now!
