The N word, Tim Wise

His position is that the usage of the N word should be reserved for those in the Black community in the same way that the word Redneck be reserved for those in the south. It's a term of endearment, and that anyone else using it is taken as an insult, since they aren't in the "in" group. Wise's audience is, sadly, either a bunch of middle-aged or young adults, probably mixed in race. These people are probably smarter than your average e-mail forwarder, or facebook poster, since they are actually going out of their way to see this guy and probably agree with him. They already see his argument in a positive light, so he's basically preaching to the choir. His reasons for taking this stance is because he's just sick and tired of old people getting offended for others, and wants to set it straight on how terms of endearment are to be used, and explain why a bad word in the right context doesn't make it a bad word.
