rappers, etc.. using the n word, does it water it down?

I agree, but it doesn't make it right for white people to say it. Listen to The Game "Letter to the King"

"The word n!gger is nothing like n!gga
Don’t sound sh!t alike like Game like Jigga
One came before the other like aim and pull the trigga'
One is slang for my brotha, one is hang and take a picture
The rope aint tight enough, he still alive go fix it
Pour some gasoline on him, call his daughters black bitches
Make him pick cotton, while they momma clean up the kitchen
The same cotton in white tees that’s the cotton they was pickin"

The fact that black youths use it so freely waters it down, yeah. But its still not okay to say it, the current generation knows nothing of the pain behind the word, hence the frivolous use. It's wrong, but what can you do?...Show more

I think it changes the definition and takes away from it's importance as a hate word! I'm Cuban but I don't think anyone but racist should take offense to it being used as a term of endearment... If said in a hateful way that is demeaning it is still a powerful hate word though just not as powerful as it was back in the day!...Show more

I dont really know. i think that racism is wrong in every single way if one race is offensive to the other they are just putting them self down. If someone says it to you they have no manners ect. treat others how u would like to be treated ect....Show more

I say if you don't like the word, don't use it. Don't like music that has the 'n' word, don't listen to it. Don't like when a person uses the word, get over it. And I'm black....Show more
