It’s an interesting book, by a black guy of course.

“Nigger: The Strange Career of a Troublesome Word”

‘It’s “the nuclear bomb of racial epithets,” a word that whites have employed to wound and degrade African Americans for three centuries. Paradoxically, among many black people it has become a term of affection and even empowerment. The word, of course, is nigger, and in this candid, lucidly argued book the distinguished legal scholar Randall Kennedy traces its origins, maps its multifarious connotations, and explores the controversies that rage around it.’

Yeah, it’s like the black community commonly uses it as an evil buzz, now.

If someone wrote a rap song “We’re Better Than Niggers” would it ever get any air time?
