Back in the 70s, we used to say that the first word the Asians learned when they got off the boat was "ni**er.
But, you, yourself, just told us that that word has no meaning to Africans. So, there's no need for them to grow a thick skin about it. But, if we allow Whites, and others to call us that "n" word, it's like letting them get away with it. It will not diminish it's value. They want you to think that, though, because it will give them permission to go ahead and use it at will.So..I think Americans can learn to be thick-skinned like the Africans when it comes to names.."It's not what you call me, but what I answer to"
Of course it is! That's all it ever was. And, in some cases, it's worked.The N-Word nowdays is in many cases all about manipulation and shock value...
