Its like if a gay guy calls another gay guy a big "****" in a jokey ironic way, its flippin the negative use of it and taking the hurt and offence out of it. I spose in a way we should be celebrating the fact that young white people see that word as a street term and dont really understand the offence it can cause, but that doesnt disregard it still does offend and I guess it'll be a long time before the negative associations are fully eradicated like

YOu will wxplain it over and over again, until red in the face. THose who insist on wanting to use the word, will pretend they dont understand what youre talking about (they understand perfectly well).
A racist, is a racist. Its the one kind of people, that you cannot change. They are who they are. Especially the adult once.
There is really no thousand way of saying the same thing over and over again. Thats why Ive given up.

I don't want to use the word, I can't stand it to the point where I won't even type it let alone say it, but I think its double standards if its fine for a black person to say it in a non-offensive way but if a white person uses it in the exact same context, they're racist. Its double standards and as I've already said, ironically racist.

If black people genuinely find it that offensive, then why is it acceptable to use it in a different form?
