As far as double-standards go, this one has always annoyed me.
Black people are the only people (until the recent "Slut Movement", anyways) to take something and apply a needless amount of confusion to it.
Asians don't go around calling each other Chinks.
Girls don't call each other Cunt in a friendly manner.
Germans don't greet each other with
"GUTEN TAG, MEIN NAZI FREUND. HOW'S IT SHAKIN', JEWS ARE BAKING."
Really, I honestly think that Rap culture has severely taken the teeth out of "Nigger" as a term of insult- it simply doesn't hold much gravity when it gets thrown about so casually. To take offense to it is simply hypocritical at this point.
If it means so much to you, then either assign a negative or a positive connotation to it- but not both- to be flipped around willy-nilly according to something as mutable and unstable as context.
Oh- and picture unrelated, natch.
so going to hell now
