The "N" word...

Y do our people use the "N" word? We all know it means ignorance... so y do we use it so freely? I know if a "white" person was to call me one I would flip out on them for calling me one or even using the word in a sentence or song. So y do we use it without a second thought? I know I'm not alone when I say that there is not one "black" person who wouldn't care if a "white" person was to use the word as often as we do. I personally... did at one time in my life use the word... but later on seen how ignorant I sounded and I quickly took it out of my vocabulary. The word his very disrespectful to our culture. The book Native Son written by Richard Wright for example: the main character Bigger Thomas thought of himself of nothing than a "dumb black N****". If we all keep using the word, then we are just like Bigger Thomas. Don't take this the wrong way... just hear what I'm saying. We are great people and it's time that we proved that we are the great people that our ancestors fought for. if u feel what i am saying holla (captured from blog)
