Anyone who thinks the N word is SIMPLY a term of familial expression has little understanding of the origin and transformation of the term.

I wouldn't chastise a black person for using it depending on how and where it was used.

I have white colleagues who study Black linguistics and they have used the term around me before. These people do not use the term regularly or with ease. So, I understand the context in which THEY were using it. If they get too comfortable, I will let them know to stop using the term.

Other groups of people have terms that they use around and to each other but would be offended if non-members use it. The difference may be that these people do not use the term in movies and in the open.

But, I wouldn't dare tell whites, Hispanics, or anyone else what they can or can not say to EACH OTHER.
