But, BWM, I take it that black people who refer to themselves as "niggers" do want to be so called; presumably as a means to disinfect the word, cleanse it of its offensiveness. Whether this is a sensible or viable means of doing so is another question; but I take this, or something like it, to be their purpose.

Is there a black Mudcatter out there who calls himself, and would wish to be called, a nigger, who could advise us, please? I genuinely do seek enlightenment on this matter.
