Your thoughts on the 'n-word'?

Personally, it's always been my belief that words are tools, not inherently weapons. Sure, they can be used to cause offense, but thats true for any word. Also, when as I'm listening to DMX right now, I'd be screwed if i was offended by it...

I mean, so many people are offended by the mere mention of it, yet black people are the ones who say it... Like take this verse of Shit Dont Change by DMX, which i have repeated while listening to because its catchy as hell.

Check it
When the dog get hungry, dog gon' eat
So I slide my plate right under a nigga feet
Like them lines in the road I get down to the street
Come through like BRRRAP! Put them cats to sleep
STAY with the heat, cook niggaz, shook niggaz
Me and mines come through, it's nothin but crook niggaz
You off the hook nigga! E'rybody strip!
E'rybody get down cause my niggaz flip!
Spoiled fake niggaz take niggaz, snake niggaz
Make niggaz rape niggaz, I HATE niggaz!
Talkin that riff-raff, get back
They call me extortion nigga, I get half
Fuck what you heard baby, X go hard
Beast in the streets, beast in the yard
It ain't never been NUTTIN to pull a nigga's card
Gangstas come to jail and wanna know God

Yeah, is that racist then? Is that offensive? I dont know anymore! Its offensively catchy! :P
