In principle it is a good symbolic gesture.
Blacks have been using that word for way to long to describe themselves and the scumbag rappers and other thugs that use it every other word are disgraceful.
I know it sounds like a very small measure, but the truth is using self-humiliating language to describe yourself does have an impact on the community and the never-ending struggle for many of them to reach acceptable levels in society.
Does this mean I can't call my self a cracker or redneck. Do we have to get Nabisco to rename there saltine crackers to something else?
The only reason n1gger is a bad word anymore is because of people that can't let go of the past and keep bringing up things as being "racist" when in actuality they are only making a stink about it to further THEIR personal agenda to make money from their "charity". <cough>Jesse Jackson<cough>
