I agree with you. But I listen to a lot of hip-hop and attend shows with friends of several races. Hip-hop and other types of entertainment media (ie TV shows) that are inspired, supported and performed by black artists routinely make use of this word we are all talking about. Honestly, when I hear an older white person use the word I get the shivers, but if one of my friends (white or black) approaches me and says, ‘What up, nigga?’ I don’t really give it a second thought. What really concerns me is the barrier the word creates. I feel like there is an entire group of people that I missed getting to know growing up because of these kind of barriers. My wish is that all ethnicities in this country could communicate without having to ‘watch what they say’. I’m interested in knowing what black people feel about this word as a barrier between us.
