The "N" Word:Lets Be real

the N Word has been used countless times by people all over the world. I grew up as a Black Man hearing it as a term of Endearment,but also knew it had a past Negative meaning.how it's used&said can have a effect on One's mind. if another Black person says it then it's Welcomed like a Hoem cooked Meal,but if someone Non Black says it then suddenly a funny sensation overcomes One soul&Mind. so where is the fine line??I have said it&can Hold my own,but I also know the double Standards of certain things said. The Political Correct Era can't justify or explain the word.funny how this word can get people all riled up but there is no Middle Ground.and the interesting thing is that America's failure to Apologys for Slavery&other Ills done to Black People have kept this word Floating.it was used a way to Entrap African-AmericanPeople in the United States,but the Hip-Hop generation embraced it&made it spirtual&also made it welcoming for all People to echo it.so where do you come down on the word??
