Do African Americans who use the "n-word" perpetuate racism?
Not that long ago, the “n-word” was used as a racial slur towards African Americans. Today however, African Americans often refer to themselves using the “n-word.” Is this appropriate? Is this perpetuating racism? Has the meaning of the word really changed? If so, then why is it unacceptable for a Caucasian to even utter the word?
