The "N" Word

I'm inspired by this young man who has no problem speaking how he feels about what many of our young African Americans call themselves.  I often wonder why is it that it's okay for African Americans to call each other the "N" word but when someone of another culture does it; it is taken as derogatory?  The word is derogatory no matter who uses it.  In the same sense the world B**ch is used in relation to women.  I've seen women who applaud being called that. The original word means "a female dog" but today's society has turned it into a slang word and given it a new meaning - (a malicious, unpleasant, selfish person). The word is still in my opinion derogatory. Listen below as young Jonathan McCoy gives his take on the "N" word.
