...it was a mistake...it's understandable that Blacks no longer wanted to hear or be hurt by whites throwing this word at them...but it was a dodge, it was a trick...and it made things worse in the long run because now whites can say, "we don;t call you NIGGER any more, what MORE do you want"? Giving up on the public use of that word was a big deal for whites, a real "sacrifice" for them....but Blacks have lost much more...instead it should have been taken over by Blacks as a way to keep fresh in the minds of the nation what had been done to them...and continues to be done to them, only to SAY it's till being done is to be accused of using the "race card".

Because the word NIGGER has been banished from polite society, whites can claim that the CONDITIONS and status that word defined are also gone....they exist no more because the word for them exists no more...but people see more clearly than before, when they tried to be color-blind, that the conditions have only received some window-dressing, and grudgingly at that.....most Blacks today WISH the reality had indeed changed....but it hasn't. It's only been disguised....NIGGER has to lose the meaning given to it by whites, but Blacks have paid a heavy price for that name, and they should now turn it into a REMINDER of that price...they should claim it for themselves, not to throw at each other, though they certainly can if they want to, but as a way to remind whites of what was done to Blacks and is still being done...there is HISTORY in that name, a history whites want to wipe away, just as they're trying to re-cast the Civil War as a war of northern aggression and claiming that "Slaves had it pretty good".

Easy for me to say....
