I don’t use the n-word out of respect for my elders. But the hip hop community brilliantly reappropriated it by turning it into a euphemism for “man.” You can’t exude the coolness of an art form & then act all surprised when people who don’t look like you want to be part of it.

I have no problem with white people saying it within that specific context even if it makes me uncomfortable; and the idea that a term that was used to call a human being less than has been turned into a euphemism for “human being” is spell binding.
