I really hate hearing this; its such a terrible argument. The word itself is one with a heavy history, no doubt; but for me, its all about intent. Some of my best, white friends call me "nig", "negro", "****a", and even "****er" at times (my Xbox Live name is Triggerman so its a running joke to call me ****erman), but I don't get mad because I know there's no malice in their words. You take a guy I don't know calling me something like that and we might have a totally different situation, and its all because I don't know their intentions.
Its become pretty popular for young, white women to call each other "bitch". No one is saying that these women are asking to be called bitches because they choose to use it as a term of endearment, so what gives?
