I dont think it matters how many kids, rappers or comics use it. Respect means that politically correct or not, if someone does'nt like hearing it, you should not use it, no matter what color they are. However, if you are offended by the word, especially in public, it might be good to either develop thicker skin or buy some ear plugs. Because like racism, I doubt it will be going away any time soon.

Depends on what you mean by offended. I'm not really offended when someone says it, but I think it's in bad taste, and I don't look positively upon use of that word.

They can use any word they like, but at their own risk of looking and sounding like low-life, uneducated thugs.

Doesn't bother me in the least.

And FYI, I can also use that word, but I choose not to out of my own self-respect, something that seems to be lacking with some others...

No...you can't.

Whatever you say though.

Eh, it's beside the point, anyway. And, you're right, we'll leave that kind of talk to the perpetual bottom feaders, career wal-mart cart pushers, and the tax moochers.

The rest of us, this is a non-issue, and life will go on!
