Doubtful. What I find is the more you hear a word the more likely it will creep into your vocabulary. Music and movies are one thing, I can choose not to partake if the word is used. However, when your coworkers continuously use the word you can’t avoid hearing it. You can’t tell them not to say the word because that will be construed as racist, and if you ever slip up and say the word in casual conversation after being exposed to it daily for 30 plus years you will be instantly terminated. I guess that is the price you pay for privilege.

It blows my mind how this is acceptable. Either the word is bad or it isn’t.

Scenario 1: You're at a family reunion with your wife and your aunt comes over and asks you, "How are you doing, baby?"

Scenario 2: You're at a fast-food restaurant with your wife. You get to the cashier and who in this instance is an older black lady. As she prepares to take your order, she greets you with, "How you doing, baby?"

Scenario 3: You're at a social event with your wife. A beautiful woman saunters over to you from across the room gives you intense eye contact and asks you, "How are you doing, baby?"


In one of those scenarios, your wife is likely to interpret the same phrase very differently than in the other two. Which is to say, context - in this instance the speaker, can change the meaning of the word, or at least how it is received.

It's the same concept with N bombs. There is a longer discussion about the very strange turns of events that led to things being the way they are with that particular word, but as we sit right now most black people will hear the word to mean roughly "friend" when it comes from other black people and hear something far different if it comes from non-black people. That's the God's honest truth.

On the bright side. You probably never ever need that word...

Hard R will never be acceptable, as for the one that ends with an A that will always be used among themselves so I highly doubt they will renounce that word

You’re trying to make sense about a culture that doesn’t make sense. What’s appealing about wearing low pants? I’m what scenario is it better than wearing pants pull up right? Job interview? Changing a flat tire? Meeting your future in-law? Getting chased by a lion?

I posed this question the other day and was called racist. I was also told they have a right to reclaim a word that white people have used to disparage them for over 100 years.

Many older blacks are offended by the "N" word. It's a generational thing.

NWA was at its peak in the 80s, and most of the good gangster rap was in the late 80s early 90s. That audience is in its 40s-60s now.
