I know that this is basically the reason they do it.... I just personally never got why the word should be used at all. People say they're "taking the word back" but.... why take it back at all? It was a word born out of fear and hatred, what value would it have to anyone relevant? If it was up to me, "er" and "ga" would be on the same level. A shameful word used exclusively by people who will forever be on the wrong side of history.



The sad honest answer is that people WILL use it against them in their lives to attempt to be derogatory out of fear and hatred. So the black culture in the US does use the word to "take it back" meaning take the sting away.

If we were in an ideal world where no one would use the word anymore out of hate then yeah, your ideas are valid. But we definitely aren't there yet.
