    I honestly don’t understand why any person of any race would find it appropriate to use the term’nigger’ or any other derogatory remark used against their ‘people’. I have always felt that using this racial slur is wrong and don’t see why so many(but certainly not all) black people think that it is OK. Maybe these older black people that Shanna speaks of who ‘don’t understand’ are the ones who really do understand. So many people( both young and old) use this word and don’t really understand the pain and the hurt that this word has brought to the black/African-American people. What’s the difference between a black person calling another black person his/her ‘nigga’and a white person calling thir black friend the same. It is hypocritical to give the excuse ‘I can say it, but you can’t’. I think that more history needs to be brought up about the word. Maybe people will stop using it when they trully know what ‘nigger’ means.
