This whole conversation reminds me of an issue about race and double standards and such. You know when a black guy says the N word, its ok, but if i (a white guy) said it, it would be taken as an insult. I know why it is, because white guys would use it when reffering to black slaves, and it would just remind them of it. But i still think of it as a very powerfull word, and never like anyone using it regardless of race. I know its powefull because what white people did to the black people. They know what we did, and how hard it was too fight for what they have today. I think that having one group of people where it is ok to say the N word and another where its not, doesnt accomplish anything to a color blind society.
