But lo and behold, these days - every.where.here.in.Oakland. I hear that word spoken, shouted, and wrapped endlessly. Everyone (apparently) is a N*****, including white women. It's like shorthand for any and everyone. male female, black, white. I am coming to think that word no longer has the traditionally hurtful implications of negative slur it had when I was just a kid many decades ago.
But I still can't bring myself to accept it when I hear it. It will always remain in the category of foul/potty mouthed/racists words. I don't like hearing the B word either especially in the public fora.
But I would be completely dishonest to portend that I've never used the B and C word myself with all that those words imply. and then some.
men and women are equal in their abilities to be disgusting human beings. selfish, stupid, power hungry, greedy, hypocritical, diabolic, just plain evil.
So, I call it as I see it regardless of gender.
