Got your attention, right?

Well let me put it this way. There's two black guys on the corner. One call the other a "nigger", not in a hatefull way, but in a brotherly way. Now sometimes black's do use it in a disrespectfull maner. Same applies to the term "fag" or queer". The gay community has been embracing the terms for years to show empowerment over the history of those words, which were/are mainly used in a unkind manner. However there are some in the community that do not embrace those words, whatsoever. 

Mr. Brown can't use the term "fag" or queer", other than in a loving or joking manner, nor should he, because he's not a gay, lesbian, bisexual, or trandsgender person. Just like you and me, we aren't black, therefore we shouldn't use the term "nigger". But watch it, because even jokes are strongly based in a disrespectfull, hatefull core. And yes, they can have a long term negative influence on a young person's mind. I'm a prime example on how jokes were my only exsposure to being gay when I was a child and young man. It had a very damaging impression on my accepting my sexuality. I didn't come out of the closet until I was in my late 20's.
