The N-Word

"Can you lend a nigga a pencil?"

One of the finest moments in The Boondocks is watchable here. Though the "N-word" is just a 'word,' words have power that varies with who uses them. I still detest white usage of the word, but hey, white folks will think we're niggas regardless of saying it out loud. I just wish more folks got angrier about other obvious or visible signs of racial inequities rather than symbolic or verbal forms of racial discrimination.
