The black man took the N word away from the white man and made it their own. Taking away the sting. Bascally saying....is our word now, so fuck you if you want to hurl it at us...it doesnt hurt us. I dont blame them for doing that. Its effective at least for the younger generation. Black people my age still feel the weight f the word if used...but the millenials and Ge X ers dont carry that weight. And its a good thing.
When Richard Pryor was once asked why he used that word so much. He said he wanted to use it so mch that it became meaningless...ti take thepower of the word away fromthe racists. So if thats what he wanted to do...thats fine with me. Its better than just sitting there and taking it
