I have discussed this many times with other people and it was a hot topic about a year or two ago when J.Lo used it in one of her songs. Me and my girlfriend (I'm biracial and she is white) have also recently discussed it. She asked the question why do black people get to use the term and it is alright but nobody else can. I told her that many people feel that when anybody but a black person uses the word they are using it as a deragatory expression and that is why they get so upset. I, personally, do not think it is a word that should be spoken by anyone, no matter what race they are but that is why I believe some people think it is OK for black people to use the word as any other. The word to me is foul no matter if it ends in "gga" or "gger". It is a word that was once used and still is by many people to describe the wretchedness of black people. I hate it! That is why I have created a poll for you to voice your opinion when or if you think it is right to use at all. Please participate, I would really like a lot of feedback on this subject. Thank you.
