How would that word just 'evolve' into the vocabulary of black people? One day some white asshole is yelling it at them, the next day they wake up and start referring to each other with the same word?
The same goes for faggot and homosexuals. These words do not evolve...they're adopted into the vernacular of the groups the very word abuses in an attempt to bastardize its meaning to something more acceptable.
Can any African-americans help me out here? Adopt or evolve, how did the dreaded n-word become a part of your everyday vocabulary? (and I mean you in general, not you specifically).
