141. Frankly
If a gay guy wants to call himself a fag, like a lot of gay guys i know do. They can. GASP! You have no right to tell them what they cant say. If you want to walk up to a group of black men, and tell them they cant call themselves "niggas", then go for it but don't cry when they aren't happy with you. People sometimes like using those words in defiance of the bigots who used them to oppress. They are in a sense, taking the word out of a negative light and placing it in a positive one in which that particular group has defined.
