Wait, the problem was some esoteric historical etymology of "nappy," and not "hoes" or the context of insulting a predominantly black team with gender- and race-based insults based on appearance?
Seriously? What a weird threadjack . . .

Huh?
Whatever the case, it's okay for everyone to have opinions of the words being taken back. That doesn't mean that your opinion will matter in the grander scheme of things.
Similar to how there's a such thing as "queer studies" and a group called pinkpistols uses "f--" in some of their stuff. But the reference to "queer" and "f--" offends some homosexuals and nonhomosexuals because of their history. That doesn't mean those two words will stop being taken back and used by members of the group in question. That also doesn't mean that it becomes okay if nonhomosexuals begin to use those two words in a derogatory fashion.

The original topic is barely newsworthy and certainly too typical to discuss.

You're okay. At least until you get too excited and comfortable.
Then folks will shift from blowing smoke up your ass to doing what they do to other people. Maybe they'll wait until you're in college or older so they won't be typing "mean to a teen."

All I care about is right now is being of African descent and young people coming up through the world having relativitist thinking without much consideration or care as to how it came to be that way.
It all seems copasetic until some lunatic starts calling a group of "us" in a tirade like Micheal Richards or some random smoked out reggae fan says he discovered ganga and do a "King" move on us making quadrillions.
Connotative definitions operate in a real time context. What one generation finds altruistic is later found to be dull then either good or evil.
Now many of us are old enough and strong enough to mutter through the mire and tell this young lady here is what you are going to face in real life or you all can curse me out and make yourselves feel better because you like the debase me. Either way, I have not lied. You look at all her posts and then make your decisions as to what to say to this child...
Sure, she could problem weather her own storms, that is a part of growing up, at the same time, we who have been here awhile have seen a shift in behavior and there is a reason.
