It may have something to do with the fact that was the term used by white people to refer to black people during the time the whote people enslaved black people and the term was continued to be used when our society was almost completely segregated and black people were denied basic civil rights. It really does not seem like a mystery.

I guess the question is why would black people want to use such a word still after all this time? Kind of like disrespecting your own race no?

I also grew up in the shithole ghetto and in the middle of the 'shit' if you will and have doubts about any of you white kids saying you use the N word in front of any black friends.

Agreed -- but that is, as you indicate, a seperate question from why the term is offensive to black people (or at least some black people). Of course, there are those black people who are probably not nearly as offended by the term's use as they would have you believe. They just know that they can crucify some white person uses it. As a white person, you have to be smart enough to realize this and just drop it from your vocabulary.

No, it's black societies attempt to take ownership of the word. I think it is a massive failure as the only blacks that use the word are second rate citizens anyway. Blacks is more affluent communities do not use the word, especially in public. Just as whites in more affluent community do not use this alternative meaning for the word cracker.

I guess that means no more Mark Twain as well...
