We can't be ignorant enough to believe we can control the use of such a volatile word. The origin of this word is entrenched in negativity and atrociousness. The fact of the matter is, we cannot control who uses a word and who doesn't. We cannot designate a word to mean something "positive" when used by a certain group and "negative" by another. With that in mind, the word should not be used at all! Period! end of story! to make it short and sweet – the “n” word is unacceptable be it “nigga” or “nigger”.

I definitely agree with you that everyone should have the right to speak freely, and each person individually has to determine how they choose to use this power (i.e. how it affects them, how it affects others, and/or how it affects, or reflects itself in the society) I guess once they do, they are "free" to do as they please :) Jim, thanks for the comment.
