[QUOTE="HitManSE, post: 3536005, member: 549624"] Im thinking those who try to take power away from the word might be hypocritial in a way. If they want to take power from that word, they can try but in reality its said in regular convo and usually doesnt even go noticed. That story will change the moment someone who isnt black uses the word (even if they arnt racist). So if it can be said to each other, and they let it go. That means towards eachother, there is no power in the word. Thats fine, but im willing to bet that most black men wouldnt just let it slide the moment a white person uses it. Which means they themselves are giving that word power. Of course that depends on whos using it, but their reaction is the true power of that word. So long as a white person can say it, and a black man/woman finds it offensive (99% of the time, especially in a group of 2 or more) , there will always by power in that word. Thats why I kind of see the whole thing is dumb when one says we're taking power from the word, but at the same time their reaction to it is that of a word that has power. I might not understand this fully because im not black, but I just think that if one can take the word without it offending them (which im sure is hard to do) then the power of that word is gone. .02 Simple, it sells records.
