... the word has been misused so much, but has recently found a bit of a resurgence in rap, black music and gangsta circles. But is it time for white people to adopt the word to now mean 'non-racist white person'... let's give this word a new lease of life?
Any takers? Any niggas up for this?

Hahaha No thanks. I'm all set.
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:
"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."
For context, this is the previous verse:
"Hi Jesus" -robvalue

Yeah, no. That word and all it's baggage needs to go away. If certain subcultures want to keep using it amongst themselves, they're welcome to it.

Really? it's 5 letters, and many people have detached the baggage, and my point is, more use detaches more baggage?

Sorry, I'd rather not piss of people who I have no problem with, and who I'd prefer to have no problem with me.

Try this, lifes: use your new word around the darkest-skinned people you can find. Explain to them in great detail how it now means 'non-racist white person', and that all you're attempting to do is 'detach the baggage'.
Let me know how that works out for you.
