well, I don't fully agree with the word but I do know that it was Negro, then Nigra, then ******, which was changed due to slang in the southern accent....
I think it is ok for it to be taboo for us to say ****** to a black person, and if they wanna use it fine...we gave it to them and they hate it so much, it is up to them to end it...and why do you care so much? Can yoou not speak to a black person without feeling left out not being able to title them?And why do we "own the word"? I think we did enough owning and that we should back off and just let things go now...
I am from Canada so I got no beef...I just hate when black ppl go around here in Canada, calling us oppressors and haters, when we had nothing to do with slavery, if anything we were helping ebolish it. They have see Roots and are all fired up without merit. But other than that, I have never had a racial problem before....
