I had friend sthat called themselves the n word all the time,
they were black and they explained further,

that's what we are we're the n word,
we steal, we lie, we're lazy we act like the n word

I still never called them that because they were friends to me,
and I knew that they'd take a different tone since I was white

when did my race think it was okay to demean a whole culture
to label all of one beautiful race as one negative thing
it comes down to infereority and ignorance

obviously someone that knows more educated people of any culture would show that person respect,
to me the term came about when African-americans were beginning to get their own cultural identity in America that word was a way of keeping a slave socially underneath you,

thus the n word is basically saying I'm better than you because the oclor of my skin and my heritage has been here longer

which is completely wrong and unjustifyable

the answer to what we call african-americans is simply we call them their name their job
whether their friend or enmey because then they get the same treatment as people of our status and race
Maruin Luther King Jr strived for this
