A word is always going to be a word. It's up to the people to give that word power and meaning. You can try to change and get rid of all negative words known to man, but will that get rid of the hate that has already been established?

I personally don't support the use of the N-word. Although people claim that "Nigga" has a different meaning than "Nigger", I don't buy into that. People argue that "Nigga" turns the negative connotations of the word into a positive. But all this does is allow the n-word to infiltrate everyday vocabulary of not only blacks, but the vocabulary of whites also.
