What the United States lacks in history, we make up for in pop culture. I don’t think America ever had a set agenda for creating trends across the globe. It was just a by-product of the huge success of Hollywood combined with the music industry. Any time you have broad exposure of a selected few, their clothes, mannerisms and hairstyles, etc. are going to be copied. Americans definitely buy into it; why wouldn’t others buy into it as well?

I relate the n-word and its potential use for empowerment among African Americans to the word “bitch” used for and by women. Remember when bitch was a derogatory term? These days, I think many young women define bitch as a strong-headed woman who gets what she wants, when she wants it – a very powerful feeling when you’ve been told for centuries that you’re inferior based on your gender, or, in the case of African Americans, the color of your skin. It takes a very strong group of people to take a word used out of hate and turn it around to mean something more positive.
