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.

Both are still very much alive and very relevant (see Bill’s post above) to society. However, the struggle for truly equal treatment is fought in much smaller battles now. The most significant enemy of feminism currently is time, because that is what it will take for the patriarchal threads of our society to dissolve. I must say to the previous poster that feminism has positive effects on today’s youth, not negative ones. Just as ‘two heads are better than one,’ two genders are better as well. Now that another 50 percent of our population has been empowered, we are a better and stronger nation for it. Kids are ‘whacked-out’ for many reasons, but none of them have anything to do with feminism.
