Well it all depends on what you mean bt "here."

Could we pole the P-list for race?  Are there [m]any Africans among us?

The color of the speaker is all-important, but we [non-niggers] started it!  
It is nearly illegal to be black.  Is it any wonder their slang for that 
illegal state is confrontational?  The term "Christian" was first coined as 
an insult, later adopted by faithful.  But the tide changed.

Someday "nigger" might be neutral.
