no i wouldn't, but that's a product of my cultural up-bringing and i have sense enough to not apply my personal values into the picture.

there are many ppl who openly embrace the term without the baggage you and others put on it as being "disrespectful" and what not. who are the cultural police that decide what's appropriate and what isn't? if you flashed back to the 1800s and heard the "broken english" of the slaves, would you say that's wrong also?

language evolves. it takes new meaning in society as time marches on. i'm not gonna sit here and arrogantly pass judgement on the words ppl use and the lexicons they adopt. that shit is borderline bill cosby.
