The n-a variation is used a lot but that means something entirely different.  Also, not the debate over "if THEY can say it, WE can too!" again.  There is a difference when the word is used by an oppressed group to reclaim control over it. That's an argument you're just not going to win.  |
What I meant was there is no need to use it as a swear word, n word or other 4 letter words, too.
And if you use it for offending, wether you're black, yellow. white or green, it just displays us your place on the social ladder.
If you use it, it has to be in a context of descibing sklavery or to show us in a metaphorical sense how bad something (sound) get treated today, simple as that.
For example, from an European aspect; "Today the Sinti and Roma are the n... of the world", so it's just the truth.
