I hadn't thought of it that way...but I did think that explanation was lame...

In a perfect world, yeah, we could beat up white folks for calling us "nigger" when we use the word like it's going out of style. But at a time when we're still fighting getting lynched (u do remember Mr. Byrd, don't you?) & brutalized on a daily basis, we need to keep that on the low. We can't do everything in front of everybody (remember that post about what needs to be kept "in house"?)

Think. Seriously.
