It's disappointing that more people (including artists) don't understand connotation and subtlety.
This fact that in many circles "nigga" is now a term of endearment reflects our problems with self-identity.
The language you use is always a personal choice...people who just go with the flow are apathatic and essentially saying they don't give a damn, especially in situations where the smallest change (or omission) could make a profound point.
If it wasnt such a concern, some of you would really crack me up.
