i totally agree with this, i am not African American but using the word ‘NIGGER” in a entertaining manner it really wrong. Imagine if South Africans used the word “kaffir”every now and than, it would upset alot of people especially black people.
The sad part is that those who use it as a term of ‘endearment’ don’t realise that in doing so they are essentially erasing the history behind it & the work of their own ancestors.
