If they want to use it, use it, but don't go off on a white person who uses it uninformatively or because it's a lyric in a rap song. I can't remember who it was but I remember watching a video of a black artist who invited a fan up on stage at a gig, the fan was white and they sung along to a song which had the N word in. The white fan sung it and the whole crowd booed and the artist said he couldn't believe the fan said it. Nobody owns a word and if it's used in the right context then what's the problem? We were allowed to say ***** in school because it was written in the novels we read so we said it out loud in class, there's no escaping it.
