2ish with a little bit of 1


The original N word was used towards blacks as a derogatory and demeaning way. Blacks were the ones that changed it and flip the meaning to be used among themselves. The N word was made sometime during the civil rights movement but it was adapted by blacks all over. When someone who is not black uses the N word it changes the meaning even if they didn't use it in a offensive way. I believe it similar to how gays changed the F word into something empowering among others like them, when it is used by someone who is not gay it changes the meaning and vibe all together.
