If you're talking about "nigger", I think it belongs to black people. Whoever wants to use it, should be allowed to if they are African Americans that the unfortunate word has been ascribed to. I use the words, "cracker" and "peckerwood" without flinching, but my own body tells me that it's not okay for me to say "nigger". The word sound ugly in a white mouth. People have been being ugly to each other for a long time, and there are plenty of ugly words that came to be because of it.
My grand pa used to tell me, "When in doubt, don't". It's pretty good advice, I think. If you get a catch in your spirit about saying or doing anything, you should probably not do it. That "catch" is there for a reason.
