A fun word? Sherri should look at some of the film footage the civil rights movement, at the hatred and venom with which the white people spewed this word. Then let’s see if she can if she still associate it to fun and fond memories. Those of us use this word, but, say that white people can’t don”t have credibility. Apparently, Sherri’s never learned that if you don’t respect yourself…good luck commanding respect from others. The thing that we do not realize about this word or other derrogatory terms is that even when said in “fun” is that they have a cumulative negative effect on our community’s collective psyche.
