Slow Down Raechel

Raechel Jeantel may want the slang of young people, as regards race, to be mainstreamed so that it is validated. However, the "N" word, in all its forms, will be inflammatory if whites use it when
speaking to or about black persons.
Black men are the usual recipients of the word in black culture. When using it, they mean to say to
one another, 'White people don't think much of you.'
Black women use the word at times, but rarely is a black woman referred to with this word, by either
males or other females.
The word sometimes infers- 'White people don't like your attitude about work..'
Among black people in general, the term can be hilarious, especially outside parts of the black middle
class, and the black privileged- save those in hip-hop culture.
This word doesn't need to be validated in society as a whole. The concept triggering it much predates our cultural use of it in the black community. 'They' had it first, and misused it mightily. 'They' can
afford to let it go without asking 'us' what we do with it.
The slave history of Raechel's ancestors may be encumbered with different slang.
