"I hear a lot of black dudes call each other niggers or nigga. Why? Then we as blacks are upset when another race calls us the 'N' word. Do we really have the right to be upset? No, we do not because we can't expect other races not to call us the 'N' word if we call each other the 'N' word. So I say once again, and I cannot say this enough. We should respect ourselves and each other. We should be ashamed to use the word ... the nickname if you will ... that white people made up for us. It is not okay for a black person to use the word Nigger or Nigga so loosely!" -Charlena E. Jackson, Why are You Obsessed with My Race?
