GUEST Mikefule wrote, about songs containing the word "nigger":

"And what if a black person wrote one, with the intention of performing it to a predominantly black audience? (S)he might argue that it was "reclaiming" the word and deliberately stripping it of its offensive connotations and neutering it. Some black people might agree, but others might still find it offensive."

What if? What if? Jeez! Mike, have you never been subjected to the sound of rap "music"? I envy you...
