The N Word

Good day may Niggaz and Niggettes. Today I had an epiphany about this whole N-Word debate! Throughout the past we have witnessed many bad words become good. Although none of the those words had as much meaning as "The N-Word" what would it be like if the meaning of the it was completely forgotten and used as a term of endearment between not just black people, but all races? Don't hop on me yet!!! I am just trying to provoke thought. People are making an attempt to push this word out of existance. Since we have a little bit of time before now and when hell freezes over, they will continue this push and the results will be slim to none. It will still be used in various forms of entertainment and particularly in the streets. I am very proud of my African American decent, and while living in California have come across many whites who are very confortable saying the word in front of black people. Now....I could flash on every white person (cracker, honkey or any other racist term used to describe people of European and American Decent), but I quickly oned myself and realized....they just dont know any better. So for a moment, consider the possibility that the N-Word over....saaaay...the next 50-100 years, by definition came to mean brother/sister, or friend. Perhaps a general term that simply refers to "a person." Would this be such a horrible thing? Would it be such a defilement of our Rich African, African American, and Black Culture (Because I do believe there is a difference) if the word that was once used to degradate, and insult us could legitimately be used to describe a person that you love? What are your thoughts on this? Do you think that the N-Word is headed in a more negative direction, because believe it or not....the "N-Word" is creeping its way into everyday life. The line that defines who is, and who is not a nigger/negro/nigga/niggah/nikka/nukka/nig/ or whatever contorted spelling of the original word you choose, is becoming much thinner in our society. Is this BAD, or could this possibly be a GOOD thing?
