"Race" is unimportant to me so I feel no need to have a nicname for my white friends. I'll just call them by their names. The reason blacks started using the N word is to appropriate the language of contempt and destroy its power.
@JimboSaturn Personally, I think it was a mistake because the word hasn’t lost any of its power. White supremacists and other racists still use it with hateful intent.
