I'm sorry to hear that. I lost my mom July of '03. Mother's Day is still a little sad.

I think we're simply interested in how you as a Black man view this situation. As a white guy, I obviously don't have the perspective that you do on this type of question. So as a genuine honest question, I would be interested to know if you think it's ok for a Black person to use a racial "slur" (at least, that's what a white person would call it) toward another Black person.

Obviously, if I used it toward a Black person (even a good friend) I think it would be inappropriate. Can two Black people use this "vocabulary" without it being demeaning?

Is it like "I can insult my family members, but nobody outside my family can?"
