Topic	How do you feel about the usage of the N-word?
Josiah_Is_Back 07/22/20 1:45:55 PM #18:	I am particularly interested in what my black CEmen have to say about this. I've talked to a few people over the years who say that they use the N-word in reference to each other as a synonym for "bro" or "friend," and that this has a way of sort of rectifying (if I'm using the right word here) the negative connotations that the word has garnered from the centuries of slavery and mistreatment. Basically it's like reappropriating a word to help heal the wounds the word has contributed toward. Does that make sense? And is that true IYO? <cite>Josiah_Is_Back posted [p:942442612] in How do you... [t:78864232]...</cite> <quote>I am particularly interested in what my black CEmen have to say about this.
